"The Mystery of Amelia Earhart" - Review by Carol Moore
**** Recommended "The Mystery of Amelia Earhart" starring Leslie Goddard was an absolutely fascinating show. I didn’t realize how much I didn’t know about Earhart. Goddard, a historian, author, actress and lecturer, did extensive research into Earhart’s childhood and private life as well as her more public persona. In fact, she was totally immersed in Earhart, so much so that she never broke character, even in the Q & A after the show. 4 Spotlights
"Ain’t Misbehavin’" - Review by Carol Moore
**** Recommended Drury Lane Theatre’s production, "Ain’t Misbehavin’", is a guaranteed good time. An incredibly talented cast, with the music of the onstage orchestra, makes for a toe-tapping revue celebrating the music of Fats Waller. "Ain’t Misbehavin’" is smooth, sexy and polished. I give it 4 Spotlights.
