Currently I review theater—Broadway to Off-Off, at the Observer and 4 Columns. Now and then I contribute to American Theatre. And I review TV for The A.V. Club. My companion books to various Broadway hits—Moulin Rouge! The Musical, Wicked, Jersey Boys, and Spring Awakening—may be found at my Amazon author page here.

Longest-serving theater editor and chief drama critic for the weekly magazine and media company, from 2003-17. Before that I was its theater writer from 2000-03. In my nearly 17 years at the company, I led the brand to dominance as the go-to alternative for savvy and informed reviews of everything from the splashiest Broadway opening to the hottest young talent Off-Off Broadway. Reviewed long-running Broadway shows such as Hamilton, The Book of Mormon, and Waitress..
