List submission - Confessions tour
by James Renner 27 Apr '19

27 Apr '19

Tickets are on sale now for James Renner's "Confessions of a True Crime Addict" at the Music Box Concert Hall, May 30 at 7 p.m. James Renner celebrates our obsession with true crime and shares weirdly funny stories about his life hunting serial killers and hosting crime shows. His job often places him in compromising situations – from being scammed into buying crack for his neighbor to accepting rides in cars from strange men at crime scenes. He explores the big questions behind our guilty pleasure, such as why is true crime so popular and whether killers are born bad or made that way. From Serial to Making a Murderer, Renner takes us through the absurd world of popular crime and finds the humor at its heart.

by Roy Berko 26 Apr '19

26 Apr '19

*•••••••••••••••••••••••••••* *CAPSULE JUDGEMENT: After seeing A BRONX TALE on Broadway, I wrote: “Look for A Bronx Tale to be one of the hits of the 2016-2017 Broadway season.” Anyone who sees the touring version of the musical now on stage in CLE will know why I made that prediction. Yes, this is an excellent production of a nicely conceived musical drama. Go! “Divertitevi”! Enjoy yourself! * *To read the entire review go to: **www.royberko.info* <http://www.royberko.info>*. ** To read the capsule judgements of the other Cleveland reviewers go to: **www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com* <http://www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com> *••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*
