“Les Misérables” did not get the love it deserved. Critics were respectful but not swooning. Audiences showed up but did not stampede the box office. It won Oscars in a couple of technical areas, but Anne Hathaway’s transcendent performance as Fantine is the only aspect of the film to win universal praise. For me, it was the most emotionally transporting [...]

The Michael Feinstein Great American Songbook Initiative’s new exhibit, Blast from the Past: Roaring Hot ‘20s Jazz, is now open. Large urban jazz powerhouses of the 1920s, including Chicago and New Orleans, were not the only cities dancing to the syncopated rhythms of hot jazz. Indiana musicians heard the new sound and not only played it, but influenced the music [...]
The rap on “Rise of the Guardians” sure is nasty. It didn’t get nominated for an Academy Award for animated feature, while lackluster fare like “The Pirates! Band of Misfits” did. And DreamWorks Animation recently announced layoffs after “Rise of the Guardians” under-performed at the box office. Don’t buy the bunk. “Guardians” is easily the best animated movie from last year. It might seem [...]
Last year, Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre’s production of Ken Ludwig’s “Lend Me a Tenor” was a crowd favorite. From the same pen comes “The Fox on the Fairway,” a tribute to English farces of the 1930s and 1940s. This madcap adventure about love and golf takes the audience through a whirlwind of mistaken identities, slamming doors and over-the-top romantic shenanigans. [...]

“Hyde Park on Hudson” exists in that nether realm floating somewhere between history, biography and legend. Its central characters are none other than Franklin D. Roosevelt, the King and Queen of England, and FDR’s contingent of relatives and retainers. But the film is not so much about the real people as our modern conception of them. It’s now well known [...]
