Show Review by Susan Coronel: Something at New Victory Theatre
April 3rd, 2017
On Friday, March 31, my nearly six-year-old daughter and I attended the first performance of the U.S. premiere of Something, a contemporary cirque show from Milan, Italy, now running at the New Victory Theater in Midtown. I wasn’t sure what to expect. We’ve seen our share of circuses- the Big ...
SIGNIFICANT OTHER: Show Review by Robin Gorman Newman
March 10th, 2017
With smarts, sass (literally) and sensitivity, playwright Joshua Harmon (Bad Jews) tackles the subject of singlehood and tugs at you winningly with humor and heart. Jordan and his crew of 20 somethings are inseparable, whether partying on the dance floor or crying on each other's shoulders, until one by one, each ...

To know them is to love them. And if you’re a kid aged 8 and under, in all likelihood, you’ve sampled the fun. The Elephant and Piggie books by Mo Willems are simple and sweet. My son was hooked on them for many years. I introduced him to Willems' pigeon books ...
CIRQUE DU SOLEIL PARAMOUR: Show Review by Robin Gorman Newman
January 22nd, 2017
CIRQUE DU SOLEIL's first show created specifically for Broadway, impresses on the spectacle level but hits considerable flat notes in the musical department.
