12/30/18 review of the Denver Center performance of Xanadu

Here is the link to my December 30, 2018, Twitter thread review of the Denver Center for the Performing Arts production of Xanadu, by Douglas Carter Beane, Jeff Lynne, and John Farrar.

Twitter's platform has twisted each of my threads through 2018 and 2019 out of chronological order. This thread is affected, but is still moderately coherent. My apologies.

Thank you for reading. Please enjoy.

7/20/14 review of cinema screening of Lincoln Center's The Nance

Here is my Twitter thread review of a 2014 cinema screening of the Lincoln Center's performance of The Nance, a play by Douglas Carter Beane and starring Nathan Lane.

My Twitter thread review discusses the story's May-November relationship, the relationship dynamics, and some of the characters' personalities, and the idealism of the characters. I also discuss the structure of the play -- namely the shifts from real-life to burlesque performance, and the way the second half of the play gets darker and more stylized.

Here is Lincoln Center's trailer for the cinema screenings of The Nance.

I saw this play at the Landmark Theatres Chez Artiste Theatre in Denver, Colorado.
