Still More Theater Saturday - Three Women

We received complimentary tickets to Three Women for review purposes. Any and all opinions expressed are our own.

What: Three Women

Where: Theater for a New City

             155 First Ave.

              New York, NY

When: This event occurred from April 16 through May 3, 2026

The musical Three Women isn't so much a linear musical with a plot as a very short song cycle. If you read the description, there is a whole story to the show, but you don't always get all of that, just bits and pieces through the songs. Although the characters were given names, as indicated in the playbill, it was not always easy to figure out who was who and the relationships between them within the context of the show.

The songs were generally pleasant, some more so than others. They were mostly on the light side. It is not possible to name any particularly likable songs as there was no song list in the playbill. However, anyone who appreciates country and western-type storytelling songs would probably enjoy them. There were, however, a few much darker songs, including one with a suicidal theme. 

The quality of the singing voices varied. Some sounded much better than the others. In general, though, the female voices were much better than the male ones. The lead actor, who was also the composer and lyricist, had the least nice voice, but there seemed to be a problem with his microphone, which may have contributed to this. 

The gist of the story was fun except for some questionable elements. A man's relationship with a girl who seemed much younger than himself was particularly disturbing. Although it is possible the actress just looked particularly young but was actually older than she looked, it was impossible to tell with the information given. For this reason, among others,  it would have been better if this were a story with dialogue, and you didn't have to work so hard to keep up with it.

And that's our view. Tune in tomorrow for this week's Sunday Scoop.

Sometimes, it's hard to know how to communicate with your kids. Some of us didn't just grow up in a different generation but in a whole different world. You have to find a way to bridge the generation gap in a way they can relate to. 

One mother found a way to do that through texts. Tammy J. Cohen began to send her son meaningful texts every day. These texts were more than just your average checking-in texts. They shared knowledge, gave advice, even shared how much she loved him, and more.

Theater Thursday - Cable Street

We received complimentary tickets to Cable Street for review purposes. Any and all opinions expressed here are our own.

What: Cable Street

Where: 59E59 Theaters

             59 E. 59 St.

             New York, NY

Who: Recommended for Ages 13 and Up

When: Through May 24, 2026

Cable Street tells the little-known true story of the Battle of Cable. This incident took place in the East End of London in 1936, wherein Jewish, Irish, and communists neighbors banded together to keep the fascists from marching through their town. 

This new musical is full of rousing songs and a few poignant ballads. Generally, the songs are quite stirring, even if they don't exactly stick in your head. There may be a bit too many reprises of some, however.

The entire show is very moving, as are the performances. It is not always easy to watch, however, due to depictions of antisemitic violence, among other things, which may trigger some people. Ultimately, however, its message is one of hope. It reminds us of what can be accomplished when different groups set aside their differences and come together for a good cause. This is something that is all too often forgotten today. 

The show is part of the Brits on Broadway series. Accordingly, it is being performed by the original British cast. Therefore, it may be hard to understand the accents sometimes, but that doesn't take away from its inspirational power. 

And that's our view. For more about Cable Street or to purchase tickets, visit
