Now 45 years old, this musical depicting the life of Jews in Russia is just as enjoyable as it was in its first time on stage back in 1964.

Playing until October 18, for more information check out the Beck Center online.

Edition 77 features background on the play Beethoven As I Knew Him. Based on a memoir that touches on issues like Beethoven’s isolation and deafness, this play is an excellent showpiece of musical and acting skills.

Playing at The Cleveland Playhouse until October 4th, Uncle Fred highly recommends the question and answer session that takes place after the play.

WJCU no Spring Awakening http://www.wjcu.org/2009/03/11/spring-awakening http://www.wjcu.org/2009/03/11/spring-awakening#comments Wed, 11 Mar 2009 21:05:35 +0000 Adam Parson http://www.wjcu.org/2009/03/11/spring-awakening Uncle Fred recently viewed the musical Spring Awakening recently at the Playhouse Square. While it may be written for the younger crowd with all its teenage angst, the production is still first rate. The music is a nice mix of ballads and a few numbers that rock out.

Spring Awakening runs at the Palace Theater through March 15th. As always, any day at the theater is a good day!
