And Miss Reardon Drinks a Little Written by Paul Zindel Directed by Shay Gines Presented by Retro Productions at Gene Frankel Theatre, NYC May 5-20, 2017
New York's Retro Productions has been pursuing its mission statement of telling "good theatrical stories which have an historical perspective" for over a decade now. With an emphasis on 20th-century plays, Retro, under artistic director Heather E. Cunningham, operates according to the belief that giving expression to these voices from our past helps us to better contextualize and understand our present. Indeed, it is not difficult to envision the connections between the late-1960s setting of Retro's newest revival, the darkly comic And Miss Reardon Drinks a Little, and 2017's own tensions around race, gender, military conflict, and political upheaval. Truthfully -- and significantly -- it wouldn't take much adjustment at all to reimagine the play, which has reached its half-century anniversary, as taking place in our contemporary milieu.

To be honest, I almost forgot that we're supposed to be in a "girls' season" of American Idol. The boys sorta stepped up last week, and I got all the Anthony Perkins/Evan Lysacek realness I needed from Paul Jolley (who will so, so be eliminated if he keeps playing this "country ballads only" game like it's season four or something). But hey, look: These girls almost All awesome! We've got some countrified mademoiselles, a couple of grudge-bearing belters, a discolored weirdo named Kezban, and one total disaster named Zoanette who keeps Muppet-belching her way to the Top 20. Riveting stuff.
Here's the supercut of last night's "Girls' Hollywood week" highlights. Let's inspect it minute by minute and talk about all the ferocious femmes we're torqued about -- and also the disasters that no one seems to acknowledge.
