On Broadway, a revival of Glengarry Glen Ross, by David Mamet, has been a sold out success, due to the presence of Al Pacino as Shelly Levine, a pathetic real estate salesman. His performance is excellent, as well as the rest of the seven member cast, especially Bobby Cannavale and David Harbour, under the direction of Daniel Sullivan.
 
Off-Broadway, The Great God Pan, by Amy Herzog, is a memory play about a young man, who may or may not have been sexually abused as a child by a friend's father. The seven member cast are fine, but the play is too vague for the audience to care very much. The opening night party took place at Heartland Brewery with guests like Lois Smith, Shuler Hensley and Kerry Butler and many more.
 
Happy Merry Hanu-Mas is a holiday variety entertainment by Marc Kudisch and Jeffry Denman, who sing, dance exchange banter and spread holiday cheer, accompanied by three excellent musicians. The opening night party took place in the music room of the theatre,
 
Flipside: The Patti Page Story, by Greg White, is for fans of the popular singer of the 50s and 60s, who sold more than  100 million records. Two actresses play the singer as a young lady and an older woman reminiscing about her career, recreating 28 of her songs. While the story is dull, the songs are pleasant.
 
Marge Champion was honored by Food for Thought Productions and Cause Celebre at the Keep Dancing Gala: Survivors and Thrivers at Chez Josephine. Among the guests were Susan Charlotte, Lee Roy Reams, Rex Reed and KT Sullivan.
 
The Cort Theatre celebrated its centennial with a cake and proclamation from the mayor. The cast of Grace and alumni from previous shows were among the guests.
 
An exhibition of Sounds of Color, by Colucci, was held at the National Arts Club, and the artist, Steven Colucci, greeted everyone with cocktails. It was a delightful event.

Film Society at Lincoln Center presented Spanish Cinema Now December 7-16. Tristana, by Luis Bunuel, Spain/Italy/France,1970, is a brilliant masterpiece by
 the great Spanish director. An orphaned girl
(Catherine Deneuve) becomes the ward of an elderly man

(Fernando Rey), who becomes her lover. She escapes with a young painter, but returns when illness strikes her and she exacts vengeance on the man who had taken advantage of her in her youth. It is devastating film, magnificently acted by the two stars. Orange/Honey (Miel de naranjas), by Imaol Uribe, Spain/Portugal, 2012, is a grim, depressing tale of military justice, under Fanco's dictatorship in 1950 in Andalucia, where rebels are executed summarily. One soldier risks everything joining the underground. It is a terrible view of life under military rule.
 
Film Society at Lincoln Center is presenting press screenings for the 22nd Annual New York Jewish Film Festival Jan 9-24. The Fifth Heaven, by Dina Zvi-Riklis, Israel, 2011, takes place in 1944 as World War II is ending. It is the story of a 13-year old girl (Amit Moshkovitz) placed in an orphanage and her romance with a 25-year old freedom fighter, with tragic consequences. The cast is wonderful, especially the lead, and the film is absorbing and impressive. 
 
The Trial of Adolf Eichmann, by Michael Prazan, France, 2011, is a documentary about the capture, trial and execution of the Nazi responsible for the transportation of millions of Jews to the gas chambers during World War II. He showed no remorse. The film is a powerful indictment of evil.
 
All In, by Daniel Burman, Argentina, 2011 is about an immature divorced man with two young children, who reunites with a former girlfriend. As well as being a gambler (poker), he is also a liar. This, supposedly, romantic comedy is not funny and the two leads are irritating,
 
Let's Dance, by Gabriel Bibliowicz, Israel, 2012, is a documentary about the success of modern dance in Israel and the world. The archival clips are interesting , and some of the brief selections of dance are good to see, but there are too many talking heads. Dance is better seen, than talked about.
 
Sellebrity, by Kevin Mazur, USA, 2012, is a fascinating look at the world of the paparazzi who pursue celebrities and their children, and make their life miserable. Interviews with Sarah Jessica Parker, Salma Hayek, Sheryl Crow and others reveal the price of fame. It shows the photographers, in action, causing fights and mishaps to secure their photographs. It is not a pretty picture. The days when publicists could control their clients' reputation is over.
 
Opera in Cinema from Emerging Pictures presented Cendrillon, by Massenet from the Royal Opera House filmed in July 2011. Although well sung, especially by Joyce DiDonato in the title role, the production itself, the first time given at the house, was disappointing. The set was minimal and mostly barren, consisting of a chair in the center of the stage, with the fairy tale of Cinderella printed on the  walls, and  the costumes, especially in the second act court scene at the ball, were unattractive and totally weird. The choreography was uninspired, and the entire production was unpleasant to watch. The orchestra, under the baton of Bertrand de Billy played the score excellently and the entire cast sang beautifully. It was a joy to hear it, but not to see.
 

12-21-12 (L-R) Frank Wood. Lois Smith. Cory Michael Smith. Mario Cantone. Ruben Santiago-Hudson. Leslie Uggams. Michael Shannon. Paul Rudd. Kate Arrington. Ed Asner celebrate the Centennial of the Cort Theatre with a cake and a proclamation from the mayor at the Cort Theatre.
