One Flea Spare

One Flea Spare, playing through Feb. 21 at The Factory Theatre, is spare but fully realized; urgent and riveting, a theatrical triumph.
’Xanadu’ Providence-bound
Xanadu was a surprise hit when in came to Broadway in the Spring of 2008. Who knew that the roller-skating camp classic would be as much fun on the stage? Now it heads to Providence as part of its national tour.

A very Varla Valentine’s Day
The fabulous Miss Merman will take the stage at Machine in the name of romance...or lack thereof.

Jennifer Coolidge goes solo in Boston
Mention Jennifer Coolidge and you’ll likely think of Paulette, the put-upon beautician she played in Legally Blonde; or the golddigging bimbo in Best in Show; or the uber-Cougar Stifler’s Mom in American Pie. The buxom actress has built her career on playing diverse character types with a sharp satiric edge. Now she’s moving on to a new phase in her career -- a solo comedy performance that she tried out in Provincetown last summer. Now she’s bringing to Boston’s Comedy Connection (at the Wilbur Theatre) this Saturday, February 6, 2010. EDGE spoke to Coolidge recently about her act, her trips to Provincetown and how she got into comedy in the first place.

Bruce Jordan :: Shear Madness’ main man
Shear Madness was a show originally scheduled for 31 performances; last weekend it celebrated its 30th anniversary in Boston. A concurrent production in Washington DC has run nearly as long. EDGE’s Kay Bourne spoke to Bruce Jordan, the original co-producer and director of the Boston production, about the show’s success.

Shakespeare classic continues to surprise
There isn’t a Shakespeare comedy that resonates with contemporary themes better than Twelfth Night. EDGE spoke to the Brian McEleney, the director of the current production at the Trinity Repertory Theatre, about the play and the difficulties of staging a play in which he’s also a featured player.


Dreamgirls
The state-of-the-art touring production of Dreamgirls delivers a knock-out punch. Not to be missed.

Liza’s At The Palace
Even non-fans of this über-gay icon will appreciate Liza’s pull-out-the-stops performance, with an added behind-the-scenes discussion of how it all came together. Sheer heaven for any theater queen.

The Turn of the Screw
Benjamin Britten’s operatic adaptation of Henry James’ novella The Turn of the Screw takes liberties with the text, but if the Boston Lyric Opera is making a convincing case for it in its current production, staged in an unusual locale for an opera: the Castle on Columbus Avenue.
