They’re Just Like Us - While Britney Spears has not performed any egregiously outrageous antics recently, her consistent creation of gossip-monger fodder cannot be denied. “They’re Just Like Us” satirizes gossip and celebrity obsession such as that especially associated with the classy Ms. Spears. The main moral of this West-Coast premiere show? The line between a celebrity and an ordinary person is not all that great because, admit it, you slurp down Frappuccinos just as frequently as Britney.

Glorious - No one can assess his or her own talents completely objectively, but avoiding delusional notions of grandeur is a completely different story. Florence Foster Jenkins, a 1940s singer, fancied herself the decade’s greatest soprano when, in reality, everyone else viewed her as a total flop. Witnessing narcissism, especially when based on a true story, always proves an intriguing experience.
