by ELLIS NASSOUR
The Tony Award-winning scene-stealer has been reflecting on his 50 plus years in theater as he prepares for his one-man retrospective George S. Irving - Still Carrying On, at the Lucille Lortel Theatre June 18-20. "One thing for sure," he says emphatically, "theater has changed! The biggest change is that the great composers are gone. Every year one or the other had a new show. They were giants! We still have Sondheim, but the economics of today's theatre don't allow a new show every season."

Former Spice Girl Melanie Brown has an agreeable voice, but not enough star power for her billing in "Rent."

[ WP ]  A Schnozzy New Take on 'Cyrano' by Peter Marks
You can, it seems, teach an old warhorse new quips. A frothy "Cyrano" has taken up residence at Shakespeare Theatre, invigorated by a crafty star performance by Geraint Wyn Davies and the irreverence of a zinger-packed adaptation that displays as much affinity for the wit and wisdom of Milton Berle as for that of Edmond Rostand.

I have only one comment to pass along on the AVENUE Q/Las Vegas controversy.
I have a friend living in Chicago who has been in love with AVENUE Q ever since he first saw the video clips on their website last year. He has been eagerly anticipating the day when a national tour would bring AVENUE Q to his hometown.
Yesterday, after finding out that the show would be going to Las Vegas instead, he wrote me the following in an email:

[ NYT ]  THEATER REVIEW | 'FABULATION'
A Mighty Diva's Humbling Fall to Rough Roots in the Projects by BEN BRANTLEY
Lynn Nottage's play of the humbling of a public relations diva as seen at Playwrights Horizons includes punchy social insights and unexpected humor.

[ NJ ]  Life, from top to bottom BY MICHAEL SOMMERS
Although at this stage of development "Fabulation" is not up to Nottage's usual standard, it's certainly worth a visit to keep current with this excellent playwright's thoughtful work.

[ JN ]  'Fabulation'
Review by JACQUES LE SOURD
Somewhere inside "Fabulation (or, the Re-Education of Undine)," Lynn Nottage's slightly dishevelled play at Playwrights Horizons, is the touching and deeply felt story of a black woman who rose to educational and career heights, but who lost touch with herself along the way.
