ARTS & LEISURE

FILM | Randy Shulman
Sloppy and uncertain of its aim, Leatherheads lacks a script worth all the obvious effort invested in it.

STAGE | Tom Avila
Lord of the Flies at Round House is ultimately harmed by taking things too far, while The Happy Time at Signature is a spoonful of pure wonderful.

STAGE | Kate Wingfield
Arena offers two Arthur Miller masterpieces with a shared cast deeply in tune with the playwright's universal voice.

STAGE | Tom Avila
Fearless and energetic, rainpan 43's all wear bowlers reminds us how good it can be when you stop taking yourself seriously.

OPERA | Kate Wingfield
The Washington National Opera's Rigoletto has everything in place to deliver fuel-injected poignancy but for one subtle element.

MUSIC | Doug Rule
You don't have to be a cynic to realize the new greatest hits set from George Michael is little more than a marketing gimmick.

Plus: Out On the Town arts calendar, including our new Dining Guide.
