REVIEWS
A SWINGIN’ CHRISTMAS… TOO!
Tempe Center for the Arts
His “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch” was sublime and his Bing Crosby to Shana’s Rosemary Clooney is worthy of its own entire show. He shined on “White Christmas”, and their duet, “(I’d Like to Get You on) A Slow Boat to China”, was perfect.

SOME VELVET MORNING

Some Velvet Morning is a provocative play that grapples with issues of misogyny and sexism with an electrifying story of obsession, desire and the roles we play. Directed by Ralph Remington, Some Velvet Morning features actors Brian Runbeck as “Fred,” Christina Denkinger as “Velvet”.

AriZoni Award Nomination – Best Supporting Actor
Then there’s “Mister Cellophane,” the unforgettable lament to forgettability sung by Roxie’s longsuffering husband, Amos; Brian Runbeck’s turtlish rendition is both hilarious and beautifully sung.
