NEW YORK – Michael Morpurgo’s 1987 young adult novel "War Horse," which became the inspiration for the hit Broadway play, has finally found its way onto the big screen in Steven Spielberg’s lavish and epic retelling of Mr. Morpurgo’s endearing story of a young Englishman and his beloved tawny hunter colt Joey, which is deployed into World War I combat. Unlike the play, which uses life-size equestrian puppets, the film employs a convoy of real horses; Joey is played by 14 different equines.

NEW YORK – Irish playwright Brian Friel turns 83 in a few weeks, and Charlotte Moore, the artistic director of the Irish Repertory Company, is giving him an early birthday present with an exhilarating revival of one of his masterworks, "Dancing at Lughnasa," which won the Tony for best play in 1991.

NEW YORK – Few of the current big Broadway hits pack as much creativity and entertainment into an evening as the Fiasco Theater’s production of Shakespeare’s late dark romance "Cymbeline," which is at off-Broadway’s Barrow Street Theater in Greenwich Village through Dec. 31. For half the cost of an uptown ticket, audiences get to see Shakespeare’s seldom-performed opaque fairy tale acted by a protean cast of six talented young players, all doubling or tripling roles, who honed their acting prowess at Brown University/Trinity Repertory Consortium MFA acting program, then formed their own Fiasco Theater company in 2007.

NEW YORK – The legendary James Goldman-Stephen Sondheim musical "Follies," about a reunion of showgirls from the Ziegfeld Follies era, here called the Weisman Follies, is back, produced by the Kennedy Center at the Marquis Theatre, located at 46th Street and Broadway.
This revival of "Follies," which has been very well-received by the New York critics, has the same inherent pluses and minuses that it had when the show debuted in 1971 in a luxurious production put together by the Broadway royalty of the day: Harold Prince, the show’s producer-director; Michael Bennett, co-director and choreographer; Boris Aronson, scenic designer; and Florence Klotz, costumer. It also featured the perfect cast: Alexis Smith, Dorothy Collins, John McMartin and Gene Nelson.

NEW YORK – Has any musical in the history of Broadway had a more difficult aborning than "Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark"? None comes readily to mind even from a longtime rialto chronicler like me. As you are probably aware, "Spider-Man" is a musical version of the popular Marvel comic book hero, created in 1963, from which there was a series of hit movies beginning in 2002 directed by Sam Raimi.
