KEVIN SESSUMS Kevin Sessums is back in the theatre for Towleroad this season. He last reviewed Let Me Down Easy, Wishful Drinking, A Steady Rain, and Hamlet for Towleroad. Kevin is also a contributing editor at Parade and The Daily Beast. I would be remiss if I didn’t lament in this posting the premature closing of Neil Simon’s Brighton Beach Memoirs (to some old news by now) before I...

... by issues that made us feel alienated, rather than drawn-in. At the beginning, the show feels very Neil Simon-esque-dramedy. It’s 1963, and 12 year-old Billy is studying for - or rather, avoiding studying for - his upcoming Bar Mitzvah.

Sweet Charity (book by Neil Simon; music by Cy Coleman; lyrics by Dorothy Fields) happens to Andrew’s favourite movie musical, and it’s pretty high up on Phil’s list too so the Whingers were in high spirits when they entered the auditorium on Sunday afternoon for the second preview. But cheer gave way to despair...

Now, I’d be lying if I said I’m not blown over by our new cultural landmark-the National Academy for the Performing Arts. So there was I in my Sunday best, just as if I were on New York’s Broadway or in London’s West End about to enjoy a Neil Simon play or an Andrew Lloyd Webber musical. Trust me, it’s really up to world class standard. Then, the house lights dimmed and having scrambled...

... own gay-themed plays. Dirty Secrets , about a twisted trio of gay men, and the gay Neil Simon-esque antics of A Night in Vegas were hits about a decade ago. For a few seasons, the Alternative Theatre Company had a home in the gayest strip mall in Phoenix near the queer boutique Unique on Central, and Marshall grew a loyal fan base that he treasured. But disputes with the landlord...

This amazing-looking painted wall ad, seen from the Seneca Avenue subway platform in Ridgewood, is, in fact, a fake. So Forgotten NY tells us. It was painted in 1985 when they were filming the movie of Neil Simon's "Brighton Beach Memoirs." Well, so it may be. But, you know, I don't care. It's a marvelous fake. I love the details, particular the stuff up top advertising the...
