"Sunday in the Park"
Now in his 80s, Stephen Sondheim has been taking victory laps the last few years. His genius is deservedly appreciated, and I doubt I will get any argument by calling him the greatest living composer of musical theater.
With its exquisite production of "Sunday in the Park With George," the Skylight Music Theatre is taking that further. It is showing us that Sondheim belongs in the discussion about America's greatest theatrical writers, along with O'Neill, Williams, Miller, August Wilson and Edward Albee.

Of all the new spots opening up in Bay View and Walker's Point, Odd Duck has fascinated me most. Sure, part of the intrigue lies with the name itself. But, after watching the crowds flock to this hip new spot night after night, I began to wonder if it would live up to all the brouhaha.

Milwaukee doesn't need a strip club downtown. All it needs is some wholesome dancing that is a feast for the eyes, solace for the soul, and a lure for conventions. Like Dancing With The Stars.
