Sulcas gets props for conjugating perspicacity from a noun to a verb in this review of Catch 27 at P.S.122, which featured Katy Pyle and Eleanor Hullihan’s super-awesome Centaur Show (C.C. saw an excerpt of this last winter at a Chez Bushwick “Ambush”) Alastair Macaulay gets the creepy series award for describing the female French [...]

Wakin Up
Compare Daniel J. Wakin’s latest “blog post” on ArtsBeat, with Britney Spears’ account of the final birthday performance of Elliott Carter’s opera, What Next, which Brit wrote exclusively for Counter Critic. If you ask me, Britney not only has a better sense of humor, but she was oddly more articulate. For what it’s worth, Lou [...]
Four calling birds, three French hens, two shots of the same choir…
The Times’ Classical Music Section is getting as much bang for its buck out of the fancy red garments of the NAMBLA-approved St. Thomas Choir of Men and Boys. First, from the left (photo by G. Paul Burnett) in Bernard Holland’s piece on “Messiah” phenomena… Then from the front (photo by Richard Turmine) in Vivien [...]
Is Alex Ross trying to tell us something?
So I was catching my daily dose of A. Ro.’s notoriously demure blog, Le Rest c’est Noise, when much to my dismay, I came upon this earth shattering phraseology that has C.C.’s heart breaking and her fingers shaking: “…In the past I’ve posted pictures of our cats …” …Wha?…Our cats?…Our cats?…Wait, wait. You mean, like…”our [...]
Semi-Douche: L. Ro. on Doug Elkins
Now, y’all know we could eat us up some Claudia La Rocco like, any day. And you know, this is going to hurt us more than it hurts her, but what must be done, must be done. Thus…in her otherwise erudite and kick-ass endorsement of Doug Elkin’s Sound of Music inspired dance piece at Joe’s [...]

That’s What WE Said
So, once T-Bone Tommasini gets over his fear of domes, his review of The Met’s War and Peace starts to take on a more sober quality. I guess, the opening night of the original 2002 production, a supernumerary took a superplunge off the edge of the stage. T-Bone still had some trepidations about the slanting [...]
It’s Carter, Bitch
Music Review: Elliott Carter at The Miller Theater by Britney Hey y’all…So, I like…went to this music thing up ‘t that Columbia school…and like…it was actually real cool…even though at first ah was like…huh?…but then later it was like…okay… So there’s this old guy Elliott…and he’s like, real old, and it was like his birthday [...]

Starting Monday and moving backward… Alastair Macaulay is feeling easy, breezy and beautiful in France Jennifer Dunning goes to the NuDance Festival and makes it out alive Moving Theater gets a kick in the nuts for not getting Gia Kourlas “a decent seat” Doug Elkins has run a long long way for his comeback at [...]
