• Posted Bostonist loves Billy Connolly to Bostonist
  Billy Connolly is performing for a week-long stint at the ART in Harvard Square and Bostonist was in the audience last night. Let us tell you right now - this show is well worth your entertainment dollars. Bostonist and our guest had suffered through a very trying day and evening before making our way to the theatre, and we were more than a little grumpy. The first two minutes of Connolly's act were enough to...

We finally had a chance to see the performance this week. The first thing you'll notice on entering the theatre is that it feels much more like attending a night club or a concert than you'd expect from the...
• Posted Wings of Desire @ ART to Bostonist
  Bostonist had the opportunity to attend the ART's stage adaptation of "Wings of Desire" this week. We're a little embarrassed to admit that we haven't seen the film, so we won't be offering any comparisons. We've come to expect great things from the ART's stage design, and so it was a bit of a disappointment when the curtain rose on an essentially barren stage. Aside from some shafts of light illuminating falling sand (a...
