Stefan Karl is a Grinch for the ages at the Pantages.
When it premiered on Broadway nearly a dozen years ago, the musical Ragtime had the misfortune to be overshadowed by the juggernaut that was The Lion King. Despite winning Tonys for its book and score, the show didn't achieve the success it should have, and the fact that it was berthed in one of Broadway's biggest, least-inviting barns didn't help. The revival, after a run at Washington's Kennedy Center, serves as a valuable reminder that this show, based on the classic E.L. Doctorow novel and featuring a gorgeous score by Stephen Flaherty (music) and Lynn Ahrens (lyrics), is one of the best musicals of recent decades. It has been reborn in a magnificently stirring production that deserves to run for years.

This vintage drawing-room comedy is showing its age.
The older he gets, the more Matthew Broderick seems to be receding from existence. The youthful dynamo that was Ferris Bueller has become increasingly weak and passive in his characterizations, especially in his stage work. His latest star turn, in this Broadway revival of The Philanthropist, continues a downward cycle that has continued from The Producers to The Odd Couple to The Foreigner.
