Review: Share a killer, thriller, chiller night with Virginia Stage Company

In β€˜Wait Until Dark,’ our heroine can’t see the con men who come to rob her. Page Laws reviews this remake of a 1960s classic.

β€œWhy do I have to be the world’s champion blind woman?”

β€” Susan to Sam in β€œWait Until Dark”

How appropriate for the weather! A thriller that further chills us, its poor paying audience, to the very bone …

Review: A raucous, moving musical at Norfolk’s Wells

Review: A raucous, moving musical at Norfolk’s Wells

Another, lesser-known song by Fats Waller in the often raucous, sometimes deeply moving show β€œAin’t Misbehavin’,” now at Norfolk’s Wells Theatre, advises ladies to β€” speaking of men β€” β€œFind Out What They Like” (and how they like it), and β€œlet ’em have it just that way.” The ladies singing that early 1930s song are talking about, well, sex, but they could just as well be referring to theatrical offerings. That’s what Norfolk State University’s still new Professional Series, in partnership with Virginia Stage Company, is doing, with great success, with its first musical: giving audiences what they want and (judging from the applause) in the way they like it.
