READ ART NOW NASHVILLE'S REVIEW OF 'A CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY HANGOVER'
If MAS Nashville's latest effort is indeed A ChristMAS Holiday Hangover, then the yuletide morning after never had it so good. The talented quintet that wowed their audiences in March and June was back for a third time Wednesday night with a thoroughly enjoyable cabaret that proves the party's still on. And the seven-piece band that backed them was just as sharp as the women out front.

MAS NASHVILLE ANNOUNCES THE LINDA LANE SHOW, STARRING MELODIE MADDEN ADAMS
Melodie Madden Adams takes to the stage as her fictional alter ego in The Linda Lane Show: Pageants, Prayers & Pianos, presented by MAS Nashville on Monday, September 19 at The Basement.
In her new one-woman cabaret show, Madden Adams takes her audience back to the 1960s to embody the fictional Linda Lane - described as "a journey of song and storytelling" - a simple girl with a simple dream. "It's a reflection of Linda herself," Madden Adams explains. "It's a delightful balance of elegance and naivete, glamour and reality, humor and grit. If you long for the days when performers were poised, polished, multi-talented and dripping with finesse."

READ THE REVIEW OF "Five: An Encore Performance" on broadwayworld.com
Nashville theater-goers may have experienced the second coming on Monday night - what with the return of those FIVE divas with their Encore performance - and while it might not have been part of that much-discussed rapture we've heard so much about of late, they certainly responded rapturously to the entertainment provided by the quintet of versatile triple threats.
In fact, judging from the expressions on the faces of those aforementioned audience members, they certainly appeared to be transported, so who knows? Maybe it was "the rapture" we experienced at the Belcourt Theatre - just in a different manner than anticipated.

READ THE REVIEW OF "Five: A Cabaret" on broadwayworld.com
Nashville theatre-goers are a pretty lucky lot, with a great deal to be thankful for actually, what with the wealth of talent you can find in our little burg. We may be known around the world as Music City USA, but those of us in the know can rightfully and justifiably attest to the fact that you could refer to us just easily as "Theater City USA."
Certainly, you'd be hard-pressed to find any city around the globe with more musical talent than you'll find in Nashville, which means, of course, that musical theater here is really good - even when it's bad (and do you really need me to list examples? I think not, but I can if called upon to do so...), it's far better than you'd find anywhere else. Nashville is fairly teeming with talented people - it's that simple.
