Fiely A. Matias and Dennis T. Giacino Get Disenchanted Off-Broadway

A chance meeting at a gay social event in Portland, Oregon 23 years ago has resulted in a longstanding personal and creative partnership between Fiely A. Matias and Dennis T. Giacino. I first met the couple in 2001 when they presented Asian Sings the Blues at the New York International Fringe Festival (click here to read my review of that show).

Giveaway: Two Tickets to See Disenchanted!

This week I had the opportunity to see Disenchanted! and it was fabulous!  This is a great show to see with your friends– a perfect girls night out..  The story is hysterical!  You will see your Disney heroines in a new light– and you will love it!  The actresses are incredible, each having their own unique and amazing voice.  It would be impossible to pick my favorite song (there are so many), but ‘I Just Wanna Eat’ is still running through my head and cracking me up a week later.  Snow White, Cinderella, Pocahontas, Arielle, and so many others will have you laughing out loud and inspire you at the same time.  Don’t miss this great ‘Girl Power’ show– get your tickets before their NYC run ends on January 25th!

But those looking for belting broads that celebrate womanhood’s diversity in all its sparkly and chest voice glory will be amply satisfied with the results.   Read More
