The spectacle of theater is part of what continues to draw crowds in the age of smartphones and streaming services. Upon sitting down to watch a live performance, the dazzling lights, sounds and sets never fail to mesmerize an audience. To those sitting in the auditorium, such theatricality might appear to have an almost effortlessly magical quality to it.
It’s funny: A musical about the ephemerality and fickleness of the limelight has become a timeless tradition on Broadway. Nevertheless, it is for good reason.
The "Hand Made in America: Contemporary Custom Footwear" exhibition within the School of Human Ecology honors 11 different shoemakers' functional, undying artistry. Curator Amara Hark-Weber's background as a professional shoemaker distinguishes the space, where viewers can interact with the shoemaking process from conceptualization and construction to completion.
Irish rock band Flogging Molly performed at the Sylvee on March 3. They were joined by openers Anti-Flag and Skinny Lister. Despite the absence of Flogging Molly violinist Bridget Regan, all bands gave motivating and political performances that energized the audience.
August Wilson’s shocking drama “Fences” opened with a home run last weekend in the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Mitchell Theatre.
“Cocaine Bear” is based on a real story that took place in 1985 in which a bear encountered an abandoned bundle of cocaine, ate it and then died. That bear, nicknamed Pablo EskoBear, is now stuffed and displayed wearing a sideways baseball cap at a tourist trap in Kentucky.
It’s both hilarious and ridiculous that Cory Wong’s March 2 show at the Sylvee opens with the main theme of the “Halo” video-game soundtrack, an artifact of meme culture that’s circulated around so ironically that it was the last thing I expected to hear in a packed concert venue. Somebody standing behind me asked, “Is that what I think it is?”
From the moment he stepped on stage at the Sylvee on Feb. 28, Bob Weir invited his audience to “enjoy the ride,” and for three hours and two sets I did just that.
A charismatic artist who lives in Brooklyn, New York, Ella Jane graced her fans at the High Noon Saloon last Thursday night. Her powerful vocals and intimate disposition towards the crowd were telling of her character and performance mastery.
There’s a scene in “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” where our hero Scott Lang is caught in a “probability storm.” Thousands to millions of Ant-Man clones pop into existence around him, representing every possible choice he could make at each moment. Despite being the manifest of infinite possibilities, the clones invariably have one thing to say upon appearing: “What the hell?”
The doors opened at 8 p.m. to a cozy, quaint tavern. There is a standard table bar past the doors with an elevated stage sitting directly in front. A pit naturally forms in the middle.
The University of Wisconsin-Madison’s theatre department kicked off 2023 with the story of a girls’ indoor soccer team in Vilas Hall’s Hemsley Theatre earlier this month.
"The Banshees of Inisherin" is the fourth movie written and directed by the brilliant Martin McDonagh. The film has drawn recognition from some of the most prestigious awards in the industry, receiving nine Oscar nominations and three Golden Globe wins, including Best Picture Musical/Comedy. Given the film’s glowing critical reception, I had high expectations for it going in. And yet, “The Banshees of Inisherin” still managed to exceed those expectations in every way.
Crowds swarmed The Sylvee on Friday, Feb. 3, where indie-pop darlings Fitz and The Tantrums performed for a sold-out house.
On a frigid Wednesday evening, Madison, Wisconsin residents trickled into the Majestic Theatre on King Street. Some were expecting a show, and some awaited a spiritual journey. Lamps were strewn about the stage, some casting a warm glow onto the floor.
The “re:mancipation” project, unveiled recently to public viewing on Feb. 6 in the Chazen Museum of Art, resounds immediately like a reclamation — its morphology suggests something redone or revised. And indeed, the exhibition anchors the flawed and disingenuous historical fixture as both its spatial and thematic center: the marbled sculpture of a supposedly freed slave kneeling at Lincoln’s feet.
Four bands, two DJs and one amazing show — Arthurfest, a fundraiser-turned-DIY music festival at the Nottingham Cooperative, raised the bar for local music in Madison, creating a performance that will shine on in Madison indie history.
The Daily Cardinal staff assembled their reviews of some of the past year’s most acclaimed and anticipated albums, all of which have been nominated for 2023 Album of the Year at the upcoming 65th Grammy Awards ceremony on Feb. 5. Our writers and editors sing their praises and share their thoughts on the lineup, a selection that features a host of various sounds and textures spanning from pop and rock to R&B and rap.
The year is 2001 — it’s been one month since 9/11, pop-punk and butt rock are at their peaks, and rock music is falling behind other forms of popular music. Then, Fugazi releases “The Argument.”
“I'll be the pill that you wanna swallow / When you're looking for the joy,” Damiano David broods over a punk-spirited bass riff on the song “READ YOUR DIARY,” the eleventh track from Måneskin’s 17-track album “RUSH!” This could very well be a lyric derived from any of the band’s many musical influences such as Black Sabbath, Aerosmith or Arctic Monkeys.
