It was a huge coup for the Rochester Broadway Theatre League to book a run of the Broadway smash “The Book of Mormon” during its first national tour. Local audiences have taken advantage of the opportunity, with the six-night stand of the Tony-, Grammy-, and Drama Desk-winning musical completely selling out the Auditorium Theatre, save […]

South Park Season 16, Episode 12
It’s been quite some time since “South Park” has done a Halloween episode: “Hell on Earth 2006” was the last time the show celebrated the holiday (and caused waves of controversy over a was-it-too-soon-or-not Steve Irwin joke), and it’s about time the show returned to some Halloween themed hoodwinks.

“South Park” Season 15, Episode 9: No Habla Espanol
It seems despite the last two episodes nothing is going to change in the little mountain town of South Park. This week we saw no mention of Stan’s parents’ divorce, the world being made of shit, his and Kyle’s near falling out, or Jameson, for that matter. Is it a cop out? Yeah, pretty much. […]
