Fuddy Meers

Different Stages' production of Fuddy Meers never quite manages the chaotic verve of a Warner Bros. cartoon to which it seems to aspire, but there are laughs to be had from David Lindsay-Abaire's consistently inventive and surprise-filled script and from these actors' handling of it.

Carmen: Hot! Hot! Hot!!

Austin Lyric Opera's latest staging of Bizet's Carmen is such a refreshing and vivid presentation -- and at the City Coliseum, no less -- that this tale of a gypsy love-sorceress and her jealous soldier-lover should smolder in audiences' imaginations well after this production's last embers have flickered out.
