REVIEW: Andy Karl Throws a Wicked Balboa (Book by Stallone, Bloody Alex Timbers Director) in New Broadway Musical, 'ROCKY'
Both an adrenaline-infused spectacle and a surprising tale of blossoming romance between two lonely outsiders, ROCKY is a visceral and heart-stopping theatrical experience for everyone brave enough to follow their dream. Werther Without You: Jonas Kaufmann Cut Off in Metropolitan Opera's Massenet Simulcast, Peter Gelb Blames Satellites
Like a chord unresolved, or getting mugged just before you get home, so, too, did Massenet's Werther get undercut on the final note. One of the more heart-wrenching endings in Francophone opera, the would-be dramatic death of German tenor Jonas Kaufmann's title character found little actual sympathy no thanks to the Met's bumbling tech department.
