BRACK: Music steals the show in Aurora Theatre In The Heights production

By Elliott Brack, editor and publisher | For 20 years, Ann-Carol Pence has directed the musical element of the Aurora Theatre, with sterling enthusiasm and artistic achievement. Her direction has added immensely to its many productions. However, usually positioned off-stage, she and her ensemble are out of the spotlight.

BRACK: Seeing Book of Mormon at the Fox Theatre: Not so much a delight

BRACK: Seeing Book of Mormon at the Fox Theatre: Not so much a delight

By Elliott Brack, editor and publisher | Several people urged us to go see the road company of The Book of Mormon, saying they thought we would like it.

We went to the Fox Wednesday night, and came away not excited about the musical some say is so great. To us, it just was not up to par of stage performances we have seen before. Since it’s a musical with lots of toe-tapping dances, I would have thought a person would come away with the lyrics and beat of one of the songs in your mind. Didn’t happen.
