"The Thrills Are Alive: Alert Julie Andrews! Doug Elkins brings Fraulein Maria back to Joe's Pub"

"New Yorkers are going to be very happy when Fraulein Maria, polished up and with additional recruits, returns to Joe's Pub on Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday (and again on January 12). A couple of years ago, when Elkins was coping with the breakup of his marriage and the dissolution of his dance company, he popped in a DVD and watched The Sound of Music with his son Liam."

"The Hills Are Alive (Ditto a Career)"

"The outcome was "Fräulein Maria," Mr. Elkins's characteristically free-associative take on "The Sound of Music," which opens at Joe's Pub on Wednesday night in its second run, after its premiere there last December. Its return in expanded form is a bright light for those who have long admired Mr. Elkins's fabulous capacity for movement invention; his fun-house way of collapsing together, then teasing out different movement traditions; and his clever, funny physical references to choreographers from Martha Graham to Trisha Brown."
