'Ain't No Mo,' the Uproarious Satire Explodes With Brilliance on Broadway

This is a must-see in its hysterical and serious confrontation of white supremacist racism in Black America.

Jordan E. Cooper in Ain’t No Mo (courtesy of Joan Marcus) Ain’t No Mo which premiered at The Public Theater in 2019 brings its scathing, sardonic wit and wisdom to Broadway in a broader, handsomer, electrically paced production with incredible performances and extraordinary, complex dynamism. Presented by a host of producing partners with Lee Daniels topping the list and The Public Theater…

thoughts on the new 1776?

So I just saw the revival on Broadway yesterday (a birthday present from my mom). You all know my feelings on all-women/nb productions of the show, so I went in feeling pretty nervous. My final verdict on this revival?

This production is phenominal.

Not only is it well-conceived, with spectacularly updated music and choreography to boot, but my concerns on the femme/androgynous casting choice were washed away by the end of Act 1.

For those not in the know, I’ve previously made it known that in most cases I’m not a fan of barring men-actors from 1776. This is because the orginal show lacks commentary on the roles and status of women, whereas other important issues such as race are highlighted. In many less-competent productions, companies will decide to have “all-female” productions while not understanding that they’re overshadowing other important themes for a very empty gesture based around white-feminist ideals.

Such were my worries upon going to see this Broadway production. To my delight, I found that Roundabout took special and explicit care to give these other issues the attention they deserved. Thomas Jefferson is paired with an enslaved black manservant in various scenes, and also experiences the Molasses to Rum number as a sort of personal nightmare-sequence. This emphasis on Jefferson as an enslaver throughout the show allows the audience to become better aquainted with this aspect of the character, instead of the abrupt “reveal” from Rutledge towards the end.

Furthermore, Crystal Lucas-Perry’s John Adams was perfect. I never once doubted her; she took on the role like she had been born for it. The decision to cast John Adams as a darkskinned black woman gave the production a feeling on sincerity in its goal of intersectional feminism— so often, female/nonbinary productions are surface level takes on the subject and colorblind casting is done willy-nilly (ie casting rutledge as black 😬). In truth, I found this revival to have handled race (and gender!) best out of any production of 1776 I have ever seen, including the original.

GOODNIGHT MOMMY (2022)

Starring Naomi Watts, Cameron Crovetti, Nicholas Crovetti, Peter Hermann, Crystal Lucas-Perry and Jeremy Bobb.

Screenplay by Kyle Warren.

Directed by Matt Sobel.

Distributed by Amazon Studios. 91 minutes. Rated R.

Despite its sweet, soothing title, Goodnight Mommy packs a punch.

A remake of a 2014 Austrian thriller of the same name (I have not seen the original, but I’ve been told by people who have that it is even darker and more violent than the American reboot), Goodnight Mommy has a constantly shifting nightmare scenario. Every time you think you have figured out where it is going, the storyline shifts in a new direction.

It is a very claustrophobic narrative. Although a few other characters pop up briefly – two local cops and the father – the great majority of the time is spent in a remote, sprawling, sterile-looking country house with a mother and her two twin sons.

Or is it the mother?

You see, the whole point of Goodnight Mommy is that the mother has had some sort of cosmetic surgery and she must wear a cloth mask covering her entire head. And she is acting odd, no longer the loving, doting mother the young kids remember. She is often mean, very controlling and seems to be spinning out of control. Also, she now is smoking, she seems to be ignoring one of the twins for the other, and she ripped up a drawing of the family that one of the boys made as a present.

Has she been fundamentally changed by whatever caused the surgery? Is it possible that it is someone entirely different underneath the mask and bandages? Or could something even more nefarious be happening?

Every time you think you know it turns out you are wrong.

Even when you realize that the film is manipulating you and leading you down blind alleys – essentially there are two major MacGuffins before the final twist, and you feel the plotline being pulled in those directions with little subtlety – the storyline keeps you guessing. And the ending, while not exactly satisfying, certainly is a shock.

I’m told the original European film was better than the Americanized remake (they almost inevitably are), and I can believe it. Goodnight Mommy is certainly an imperfect film – it moves slowly sometimes, and the character motivations are often murky – however it still does connect as a pitch-dark view of family relations.

Storiestheater review

Awaiting Review

Click to update image

In what is one of the best shows I have seen this season, "A Sign of The Times" at The New World Stages is a rapid fire, feel great musical! Set in Centerville, Ohio, the year is 1965 and on this New Years Eve Matt has asked Cindy to marry him. She questions her life, her parents life and where marriage will take her.

The premise here is that change and courage invites Cindy (Chilina Kennedy) to New York City to pursue her career. She ends up living with a budding singer named Tanya, (Crystal Lucas-Perry) on 149th street. It is rough going for the first three months until she is serendipitous in landing a job at Paulson & Co, an advertising company in which she aspires to be a photographer.

What makes this musical so great is the many reasons that make a wonderful musical. The first is the acting: Chilina Kennedy puts in a performance for the ages! Her facial features and the" business" that she gives us reminds me of Mary Tyler Moore, particularly on the Mary Tyler Moore show... corky and spunky, she suffers no fools and is mentally strong. She is also a talented singer and had full command of the audience whenever she belted out a song. Her grace and charm were matched by her dance prowess.

Lucas- Perry too was as brilliant in her acting as well as her singing; sometimes pop, sometimes soulful, her songs came from the heart and resonated throughout the theater. The two actors fed off of each other brilliantly all performance, we believed that they were great friends because their timing was flawless.

Under the glam lighting (Ken Billington), the warm set design (Evan Adamson), the brilliant projection (Brad Peterson) and the deft choreography (JoAnn M. Hunter), the musical moves in tandem, like silk and Gabriel Barre's direction has the show in top form. Under Joseph Church, the arrangements, the choice of each and every song , the placement of the songs hit the show perfectly.

In the turbulent times that faced America, the show touches on the vast protests that were hitting our country at the time: the Vietnam War, racial tension and equality for women, however, the show thankfully only scratches at it and never makes it the main focus. Richard J. Robin, Lindsey Hope Pearlman and music director Britt Bonney keep the show lite and pure making the two plus hours joyful. Even before the start of the show we are treated to old commercials from that era as well as some of the shows that were on television at that time.

"A Sign of The Times" was well thought out, well created. From the casting to the costumes (Joanna Pan), everything works beautifully. Pan takes us back in time from the chiffon dresses, to the short skirts and go-go boots we get a sense and a feel of 1965. In the book we see what the thinking of the people was back then, what was acceptable and what was not in both mores and attitude. Ryan Silverman as Brian had the opinion that it is a man's world, woman were in the background and never given the credit for anything in the work place. How he conducted himself is quite different way than what would be accepted today in the business world.

In the songs and dance we see the many popular dance styles of the mid 60's. In "These Boots Are Made For Walkin" we get a dance that "Austin Powers" made popular with the hips swinging and the arms flailing. In "Call Me" we get a Gene Kelly and Debbie Reynolds "Singing In The Rain" type dance movement.

"A Sign of The Times" should not be missed! I cannot say enough good things about this brilliant musical; the attention to every song choice will have you singing the songs leaving the theater as I did.

Hailing from a lineage known for their strong stage presence, Emmy Russell of Nashville effortlessly captured the focus of all three American Idol judges during her audition. This promising artist, who finds her muse in a legendary figure of the country music scene, is the granddaughter of the beloved Loretta Lynn. With a performance that invoked the spirit of her renowned family member, Emmy introduced an original piece for her tryout. Moved to tears by her own rendition, she referenced her grandmother, saying, “‘Emmy, she’s with you, now it’s your time.’” Loretta Lynn's passing in October 2022 marked the end of an era, but her musical legacy endures, leaving behind a vast family that includes 25 grandchildren. Among those grandchildren is 25-year-old Emmy Russell, the daughter of Patsy Lynn (who is now known by the surname Russell), continuing the musical tradition with her own unique flair. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Emmy Russell (@emmyroserussell) Twins Patsy and Peggy, the youngest offspring of Loretta Lynn, made their mark in the country music scene as The Lynns. In the late 1990s, this duo garnered nominations from the Country Music Association (CMA), highlighting their contributions to the genre. Patsy, known for her roles in television series such as Walker, Texas Ranger and Intimate Portrait, nurtured her daughter amidst the musical heritage of Lynn's ranch, located on the outskirts of Nashville. It was here that Emmy spent her formative years, deeply immersed in the rich musical legacy of her celebrated grandmother. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Emmy Russell (@emmyroserussell) In 2022, the impact of Lynn on her granddaughter was vividly displayed when Emmy joined forces with Lucas Nelson, Willie Nelson's son, to deliver a duet at a grand memorial concert in honor of her grandmother. Together, they performed "Lay Me Down," a song featured in the 1980 film "Coal Miner’s Daughter," which is a biographical musical that narrates the life story of Lynn. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Emmy Russell (@emmyroserussell) The following year, Emmy, who is also the great-niece of Lynn's sister, Crystal Gayle, had her first performance at the Grand Ole Opry. She paid tribute to her grandmother with a performance of "Memaw's Guitar." While her collection of music is currently modest, Emmy is dedicated to expanding it. In a conversation with The Tennessean on February 24, Emmy expressed her artistic philosophy, "I'm not trying to please anyone other than myself," she said. "However, if my music resonates with people and they see their own stories in my songs, then I'll be able to pursue my passion as a lifelong career." 'Just Grandma to Me' Outside the American Idol audition room, Emmy’s mother, Patsy, anxiously awaited her daughter's exit, hoping for a successful outcome. Patsy shared her thoughts on her daughter's approach to her audition and career, stating, "Emmy wanted to approach this with integrity. 'This is who I am, this is my passion, and this is my truth. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Emmy Russell (@emmyroserussell) During her audition, as soon as Emmy entered, she revealed to judges Katy Perry, Lionel Richie, and Luke Bryan, "I used to sing on tour with...my grandmother, who's a country singer." "Who's your grandmother?" Bryan inquired. "Loretta Lynn," she responded, embodying modesty. Bryan, visibly surprised, and Richie, equally astonished, exclaimed, "Your grandmother is...what?!" "She's one of the most renowned country musicians ever, but to me, she's simply grandma," Emmy shared on the episode broadcasted on February 25, 2024. In her performance for the judges, Emmy confidently played the piano and sang "Skinny," an original piece reflecting on the challenges of dealing with body image and eating disorders.

The judges were thoroughly impressed. "I think I'm a bit shy, and it's probably because I want to find my own voice. That's the reason I chose to sing something I wrote myself," Emmy commented on her choice to perform an original song. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Emmy Russell (@emmyroserussell) Her poignant rendition, culminating in tears, elicited high commendations from the judges. After witnessing your remarkable performance, it's clear you're an A+ songwriter, just like your grandma was. You've inherited the gift, Perry remarked. There's no need for you to measure yourself against your grandmother's achievements. You are distinctively different. Don't burden yourself with that comparison. Emerging from the expansive legacy of her grandmother, and carving out her unique artistic journey, Emmy reflected, I was reminiscing about my grandma, but I also reminded myself, 'Emmy, she's with you, now it's your moment to shine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rt6vQqPG2WI Upon learning that she's advancing to Hollywood to compete on American Idol, Emmy reflects, "I believe I'm more like her now than when I was actively trying to emulate her." Emmy Lynn is an exceptionally gifted individual, and American Idol fans are fortunate to witness her development as an artist. What are your thoughts on Loretta Lynn's granddaughter? We invite you to share your opinions with us, and then spread this story so we can gather more perspectives! For more information, please revisit us at Henify.com

Law & Order Special Victims Unit Season 22 Ep. 8 "The Only Way Out Is Through"

While Benson is away dealing with a family emergency involving Noah, the Special Victims Unit tries to assist two sisters, Crystal Lucas-Perry and Sydney Elise Johnson, in finding closure. One of the sisters was raped at gunpoint while the other was forced to watch. This incident occurred in 2000 when they were tennagers. Tamin's cousin, Nicola Rossi, asks for her help after being raped by her date. Additionally, a rape victim from seven years ago, Jane Bruce, resurfaces and needs Fin's help to get closure from her rapist. However, she may get more than what she bargained for.

If you want to watch the series for yourself, stop reading! This post contains spoilers to the storyline.

In 2000, a child lies on the floor counting and tells her sister that someone is missing. In 2014, a defense attorney is hostile to a rape survivor on the stand. In 2021, a woman named Lily wants to slow down with her sexual partner. The next day, the woman calls Kat.

Two women came in to talk to Cragen or Munch, but Fin directed them to Benson. Benson remembered a horrible case involving the women and their mother. The women were seeking to speak with a detective now that their mother had passed away. Benson had to leave because Noah, who had been exposed to COVID, had a fever.

Kat meets with her cousin who met a billionaire online and was shocked when he followed her on social media and invited her over. He listened to her at first.

Rollins talks to the sisters. Their mother had made a deal that the rapist would not be charged with the assault to protect them from going to court. Imami didn't want that. She wants him prosecuted now. Rollins says she will call Benson.

Fin needs to discuss with Carisi the case of a rapist who is up for parole. The survivor arrives, expressing reluctance to participate as she has already testified once.

Benson speaks with Rollins about the possibility of restorative justice, although it is considered unlikely. Noah has a low-grade fever and no other symptoms. Kat calls to inform Benson about her cousin's situation. Benson states that there is not enough evidence to make an arrest. Kat believes that the suspect will get away with it because of his wealth. Benson suggests having Lily meet him for coffee and try to obtain a confession.

Carisi and Fin argue about Jimmy. A prison chaplain arrives and wants Jimmy to speak with all the victims. He has been attempting to apologize for years, and there are letters. However, Fin believes the victims will not accept his apology. Rollins explains that restorative justice is a lengthy process. Amika is unhappy with the situation. Carisi and Kat argue about her case before arranging a meeting with Lily.

Imami has a PTSD reaction when visiting her assailant in prison and believes she sees rats. Amika does not recall any rats and suggests that Imami wait outside. Rollins asserts that they are in control and can stop at any time. Darryl is being escorted in.

Fin informs Nora about the message from Jimmy in the park. Nora expresses disinterest in attending the hearing. Nora declines, and Fin takes them back. Fin hands over the stack of letters and asks if she has read them. Nora is skeptical of Jimmy's claims that he can screen the letters. Nora is interested in reading the letters, but Darryl maintains his innocence regarding Amika's rape. Fin has agreed to return the letters to the captain. He accuses them of ambushing him. He says he's never seen either of them before and makes racist comments about them.

The women try to get Darryl to admit he raped Amika. He says it's a possibility and it sounds familiar. Nora comes to see Jimmy. Fin is with her. He asks if she read his letters. He could only write them. He wants to listen to her. Nora tells Jimmy that she thought he was a nice guy, but now she can't trust her instincts. Jimmy apologizes to Nora for his past actions and asks for her forgiveness. He explains that he has done some soul-searching and is truly sorry.

Carisi is concerned that Lily will reveal their location. Kat is confident that she has prepared for this. The rapist arrives, and the police observe as Lily speaks with him. He denies hearing her say stop and insists on leaving. She stops him and begs him to stay so they can work this out. He sits back down.

Rollins asks why he targeted them and taunts Imami about how lucky she is not to have been raped. The group is then put on lockdown and Darryl is taken away. Akima is ready to go home, but Imami is not. The two women argue. Akima believes that the fact that Imami was not raped means nothing happened to her, while Imami feels like she is being treated as if she was on the sidelines and not a victim too. She feels that no one cared about her pain.

Lily onverses with the guy, who expresses regret for not stopping when she said stop. He was so infatuated with her that he lost control. She felt forced, and he felt sorry about that. They may start over. Lily takes his hand. Kat decides to move in without Carisi's approval. She arrests Xavier.

Meanwhile, Fin calls and says Nora has forgiven Jimmy. Fin tells Nora that he believes JImmy is deceiving her, but Nora disagrees.
