  2. Pasadena Playhouse falls for 'Fallen Angels'

    "Fallen Angels," a comedy once considered too scandalous for polite society, opens Sunday at the Pasadena Playhouse. This sly and sexy Noël Coward play may be tame by today's standards, but its 1925 London premiere — starring Tallulah Bankhead — was lambasted by critics of the time as immoral for its depiction of two "loose" married women, best friends who are tempted by the return of the lover they shared while single.

  4. 'Hugo': Martin Scorsese clocks in with a younger good fella

    Ministry of Gossip
    Martin Scorsese's usual good fellas made way for a 12-year-old boy hero and a dramatic dose of 3-D as the director's kids' movie "Hugo" premiered at the Ziegfeld Theater in New York. Based on Brian Selznick's award-winning novel "The Invention......

  5. Critic's notebook: National Theatre's NT Live season screens big

    Late spring, give or take a couple of weeks, traditionally marks the end of the theater season. And while taking stock of the last year, I'd like to make note of a group of plays I caught in Hollywood — Helen Mirren in "Phèdre," Richard Griffiths and Frances de la Tour in the world premiere production of Alan Bennett's "The Habit of Art" and, on Monday night in the program's ecstatic capper, Simon Russell Beale and Fiona Shaw in a revival of Dion Boucicault's " London Assurance."

  7. How about another song?

    This year's Tony Awards had no host, no comedian; I forgot to check if there was even red carpet coverage beforehand.
    Times Staff Writer
    This year's Tony Awards had no host, no comedian; I forgot to check if there was even red carpet coverage beforehand. Was there? Was Ryan Seacrest out there, terrorizing some Royal Shakespearean with his E! voodoo mumbo jumbo? I'm not even sure why...

  8. Oh 'Boys'

    NEW YORK — "Jersey Boys," a show about the '60s pop group Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons that has bucked a history of scorn for so-called jukebox musicals, on Sunday became the first of the genre to win a Tony Award for best musical.

  11. Handling a gem of a role with a craftsman's delicate touch

    RICHARD GRIFFITHS is probably best known to audiences as Harry Potter's loathsome Uncle Vernon. The veteran British actor traveled to the other end of the spectrum to create the deeply sympathetic character of Hector, a devoted teacher with a tragic flaw, in both the stage and screen versions of "The History Boys."

  12. Aced the screen test

    WHEN a hit play is made into a film, the cast is invariably switched out for more famous film counterparts. Thus Mary Louise Parker is traded for Gwyneth Paltrow ("Proof") or Meg Ryan ("Prelude to a Kiss"), Kathy Bates and F. Murray Abraham for Michelle Pfeiffer and Al Pacino ("Frankie and Johnny in the Claire de Lune"), and everyone else for Meryl Streep ("Plenty," "Marvin's Room," "Dancing at Lughnasa").
