Last Night: My Fair Lady at the Orange County Performing Arts Center June 4th, 2008
Better Than: Saving gas by not showing up.
In my mind, My Fair Lady equals Audrey Hepburn. It doesn't get much cuter than Audrey Hepburn, right? But last night the beautiful, adorable, simply amazing (more adjectives!) Lisa O'Hare gave Hepburn a run for her money. That voice! That presence! She truly stole the show.
And she wasn't the only one. The performances were sparkling and flawless, each actor moving i
Quirky Portland electro-pop thrillers YACHT and spunky LA punk funsters Mika Miko are playing Samueli Theater at the Orange County Performing Arts Center Thursday June 26, and we have two tickets to give away.

Here's a video of YACHT's “I Luv a Computer” to whet your appetite.
Full disclosure: I'm not much of a classical dance fan. I enjoy a sharply performed Robot, a good Pop-and-Lock, the occasional well-executed Worm. Por ejemplo:
C'mon, who could argue with that?
But when I heard the Kirov Ballet was performing at the Orange County Performing Arts Center, I decided to put aside my personal prejudices in an effort to expand my cultural horizons. After all, this is the Kirov we're talking about, not just any old ballet troupe. Opting out of seeing them because I

Hey! Did you see me at the Orange County Performing Arts Center Friday night? If you were there, you couldn't miss me. I was the young guy.OK, all jokes aside, I really was at OCPAC Friday night for the Blue Note 70th Anniversary tour. It was the early show and my friend Rick and I got there about five minutes before the band hit the stage. Where I come from - and by that I mean a punk/indie background - a 7:30 p.m. start usually means 8:20. Well, when you're dealing with music catered more towa
It's a fact of barely contested sprawl that with little room left to build out, residences are being built up. And so we now have high-rise living spaces popping up in Irvine, Santa Ana and places you really don't want to be caught dead in. And so we now have a charity tour of some bitchen high-rise abodes.

South Coast Repertory and Orange County Performing Arts Center are doing something bold this month. They are collecting from audiences at each venue's shows non-perishable food that will be donated to the Orange County Food Bank, whose services are needed more than ever. Nice, you're saying, but what's so bold about that? Every elementary school's fourth grade class does the same thing, right? Well, what is bold about the Arts Can Food Drive is, and let me repeat, they are encouraging audience m
Some of the eateries within the Patina umbrella may benefit from a stellar site (not least Patina itself, in LA's Disney Concert Hall), but the Market Café, next to the Orange County Performing Arts Center, sure isn't one of them.For starters, it's tucked away down a path in between OCPAC buildings and office blocks. It's just a couple minutes' walk from South Coast Plaza, but it seems that few shoppers are making the effort to get there, despite the lack of interesting lunchtime options at the

favorite part of the touring production of Fiddler on the Roof, now currently
