The Zombies Odessey Comes to Boston: At the Wilbur Theatre Tonight, Oct. 6

October 6, 2015 | Filed under: Music, Rock

Say this about the Zombies: They were ahead of the curve. We live in a world where you can’t turn on the TV or go to a multiplex without running into a zombie. Back in 1961, keyboardist-songwriter Rod Argent and singer Colin Blunstone and their mates proved a pretty prescient …

September 29, 2015 | Filed under: Music, Rock

It was 1984 and I was talking with the Kinks singer and main songwriter Ray Davies about the oft-contentious relationship he had with his younger brother, lead guitarist Dave. “I love him,” Ray said, softly. “But sometimes … he’s family …and I don’t really like family.” Nine …

It’s back in Boston for a another run. From Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the folks who gave you the world’s first animated talking poo in “South Park,” it’s “The Book of Mormon.” Two and a half hours of merriment and mirth and scatological humor and a celebratory sendup of …

July 29, 2015 | Filed under: Film

Boston-area film-maker Richard Tilkin decided he wanted to make a documentary about a subject everyone virtually avoids at all cost: The inevitability of leaving this mortal coil. How do we regard our life knowing that – but not dwelling upon it? How does what we think happens after death affect …

We saw “Mamma Mia!” twice, in 2001 and 2004. It show, it has legs, even though it received a few slings and arrows in the press. Well, it’s back once again. It will not die. “Mamma Mia!” is the kind of play that is a punching bag for certain types, both …

July 28, 2014 | Filed under: Music, Punk

The Sex Pistols, the Clash, the Jam — they get punk rock respect more than three decades down the pike, but their contemporaries the Damned are oft seen as a footnote, a comic one at that. The band remains fronted by singer Dave Vanian, forever dressed as a dapper vampire, …

Notes from the Field: Anna Deveare Smith Takes on the School to Prison Pipeline at the A.R.T. through Sept. 17

In “Notes from the Field: Doing Time in Education,” Tony nominee Anna Deveare Smith has bitten off a lot and given us a lot the chew on. Tough stuff, most of it, no smooth digestion here. Has she given us too much? Well, maybe. Smith, the writer and sole actor …

Dictators NYC: Heart Punch to the Head at Somerville’s ONCE Ballroom Sept. 16
