Amas Musical Theatre presented a rehearsal of Romeo & Bernadette, by Mark Saltzman, director/choreographer Justin Ross Cohen, which will open at A.R.T./New York Theatres, 502 West 53rd St, on January 23. A talented ten member cast headed by Nikita Burshteyn (Romeo) and Anna Kostakis (Bernadette) performed two of the songs from the show. They were quite entertaining, and I promised to attend opening night.

MoMA is presenting  Modern Matinees: Jack Lemmon, Jan 1-Feb 28 .  Days of Wine and Roses , by  Blake Edwards , 1962, stars  Jack Lemmon  and  Lee Remick , as a married couple, whose lives are destroyed by alcohol. 

 As alcoholics,  they lose their jobs, and their ability to perform like decent human beings. It is a grim picture of drinking to excess. The two stars give a realistic and strong performance in a depressing film.
 

Columbus Library presented The Professor, by Wayne Roberts, 2018, starring Johnny Depp as a college lecturer, who learns he has six months to live. He turns into a crazy human animal to the delight of his few students, who remain in his class. The plot and the acting is absurd, Depp is dull, and so is the film.
