...verb!" And indeed, no one who's seen Monk and her company in performance would disagree. She rejects the traditional titles of "singer," "dancer," "choreographer" and "composer" and lets her work suggest its own categorization as it (and she) leaps from dance to poetry to extended vocal technique, an emotionally charged form of singing expressed using only singular sounds, and no words...
...ensemble began the performance by singing a beautiful, haunting solo from the edge of the balcony in Sanders, with a single spotlight illuminating her face.

What to Look For Directed by The Simpsons and King of the Hill alum Brad Bird and featuring the vocal talents of Jennifer Aniston and Harry Connick Jr., this isn't your standard Disney fare.

Virginia Woodruff (the Gypsy Queen) shows strong potential, but poor blocking and choreography prevent her from shining the way her solo "Acid Queen" could. Christopher Monteleone (Captain Walker) displays little-to-no chemistry with his shrill melodramatic wife (played...
