Theater critic Catherine Rampell on previewing and reviewing

Not quite sure why, but I'm tickled to read this from Catherine Rampell of The New York Times:
In addition to covering economics, I also write theater reviews for the Arts section.
In any case, here's her recent column on the business of theater previews and reviews.

Dancing "Ghetto Klown"

Because when people really move, and they’re really in themselves, it’s like shamanism, and they’re overtaken by something. I find that so beautiful and so raw. That really speaks to me.  -- John Leguizamo

Recommended: "Elling"

Looking for something Broadway-and-fun for the holiday season? Let me recommend Elling, a winning comedy exploring the bond between two former mental patients unsteadily but creatively adjusting to life out in the world. It's based on novels by Norwegian author Ingvar Ambjornsen and the 2001 Oscar-nominated film by Petter Næss.


Directed by Doug HughesElling boasts a couple of the most engaging stage performances in memory, rendered with tremendous physical investment and verve and detail and, most of all, fun by Brendan Fraser (as Kjell Bjarne) and Denis O'Hare (as the title character). Jennifer Coolidge, Richard Easton and Jeremy Shamos contribute terrific ensemble turns.

They loved it in London, and they were not wrong!
