A decade presenting Corsets and Cuties is 'a long time to herd cats'

A mere 2,089 days after it was first announced

It used to be that New Orleans, that gaudy, tacky hole in the earth where sin and smut are marketabl...

Alanis Morissette fans who were frustrated by the psychobabble script and sucky sound mix of the Jagged Little Pill Broadway tour should be more than satisfied by Jagged Little Live ’95, a high-test tribute concert covering the seminal 1995 album. A Fringe favorite earlier this year, lead singer Alanna Chuyan fronts a fiery four-piece band as they tear through every track with tinnitus-inducing energy.

This week, I’d hoped to be able to finally delve into some of the new offerings debuting in our local theme parks this summer, such as the spectacular CineSational symphonic fountain-and-drone show at Universal Studios Florida.

They say that you can’t make a rainbow without some rain, but as Orlando’s arts community wraps up its Pride Month celebrations this weekend, we’re seeing that when it rains, it pours — literally. This week, I was hoping to tell you about Orlando Fringe’s first-ever Orlando Out Fest (OOF), which was scheduled for June 27-30 at ArtSpace.

Over the past several seasons, subscribers to the Dr. Phillips Center’s Broadway series have come to expect a certain formula from the seemingly endless parade of screen-to-stage adaptations: They take a favorite film, bloat the narrative with unnecessary new elements, pad the running time with a pastiche score of forgettable music, and generally suck out everything that made the original fun. So it’s something of a small-scale miracle that Clue (subtitled “Live on Stage!” or “A New Comedy,” dep…

Don’t tell my beloved wife — whom I met at the Fringe exactly 17 years ago — but I just got one of the loveliest love letters I’ve received in my life, and it didn’t come from her. Orlando ex-pat writer/performer Amanda Grace is visiting from England to hold her “Love In,” and she invites you to lounge in the Shakes’ rear courtyard with her for an intimate one-on-one encounter, accompanied by a one-of-a-kind souvenir.

When veteran circus performer Genie Cartier began training at age 8, an abusive instructor informed her that she didn’t have an “acrobat’s body,” so everything would be harder for her. Fortunately for Fringe audiences, Cartier overcame her curved back and a hundred other hurdles to have a 30-year career in the art of Chinese acrobatics (which is like gymnastics, but with broader bows), culminating in this autobiographical variety show, “The Curve”.

Want to experience an intimate, immersive live concert starring a half-dozen of the world’s greatest classic rock acts, without getting gored by Ticketmaster fees? Look no further than “ReTRIBUTEion,” an all-star celebration of the greatest cover band (excuse me, tribute band) that never was.
