‘The Phantom of the Opera’: A Broadway legend

Andy Ottone | Monday, April 24, 2023

What do you first think of when you hear the words “Broadway Musical?” Some might think of the magical “Wicked,” the tear-jerking “RENT” or the mega-hit “Hamilton.” However, many people think of one show, a show that has won countless awards and accolades, the longest running show in the history of Broadway and the third

Scott Pilgrim’s precious little franchise

Andy Ottone | Thursday, April 6, 2023

It was like every other romantic story before it: Boy meets girl, boy already has a girlfriend, boy tries to date both at once, boy finds out he has to defeat his new girlfriend’s seven evil ex-partners, boy breaks up with old girlfriend and finally, boy fights the seven evil exes.

This is the final week of Lent, and — knowing that this is a time for repentance — Scene wants to ask forgiveness for our grave errors.

Sitting down with Samuel B. Jackson, ‘20

Andy Ottone | Wednesday, March 29, 2023

I had the great pleasure of recently sitting down with Notre Dame alumnus Samuel B. Jackson ‘20 for an interview regarding his recent work with the Steppenwolf Theatre Company in Chicago, as well as his journey after graduating.  Editor’s note: the audio for the first two questions was not recorded fully due to a technical error,

‘Ghosts’: Dead and loving it

Andy Ottone | Friday, March 24, 2023

Picture this: an idyllic, young, married couple inherit a beautiful house in the New York countryside and plan to open a bed and breakfast. We follow the trials and tribulations the two of them face in establishing their business, such as nosy neighbors, home renovations and establishing themselves as a reputable establishment. There is one

Andy Ottone | Monday, February 27, 2023

On Feb. 24, I engaged the creative mind behind the sold-out entirely student-produced musical, ”Dawn’s Early Light.” Solomon Duane (‘24) opened up about the production, his creative process and his influences in the creation of the show.

Andy Ottone | Thursday, February 9, 2023

There’s 104 days of summer vacation, and it’s been 5,488 days since the official debut of the first episode of “Phineas and Ferb” on Disney Channel. As a lifelong fan of the series, it is my pleasure to bring you through the show’s development, what came after it ended and what the show means to

‘Poker Face’ plays a winning hand

Andy Ottone | Tuesday, January 31, 2023

A casino, a rest stop, a Texas BBQ restaurant and a touring heavy metal band. What do they all have in common? Murder, lies and a woman who finds herself caught up in all of it. Poker Face, whose first four episodes out of ten are out right now on NBCUniversal’s Peacock, is the most

2022 was the year of Pinocchio

Andy Ottone | Thursday, January 19, 2023

Who doesn’t love Pinocchio? Whether it’s Carlo Collidi’s original novel or Walt Disney’s 1940 feature film, many know the story of the wooden boy with the growing nose. In 2022, three film adaptations were released, and I took it upon myself to watch all three. I would be remiss to not mention an influence on

This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bou This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bouts will begin its preliminary rounds. A men’s boxing tournament that benefits the Holy Cross Mission in Bangladesh, Bengal Bouts seems to perfectly combine two integral aspects of Notre Dame’s identity: a passion for sports and a commitment to social impact.

This week, From the Archives takes a long overdue look at the history of Bengal Bouts. While this tournament predates the Observer by nearly four decades, we uncovered a selection of stories that capture at least a part of the rich history of this Notre Dame tradition.

We asked you to Ask The Observer Sports Department We asked you to Ask The Observer Sports Department and you responded with the request: “Northwestern @ Notre Dame 2014 Football Breakdown”. That game was a heartbreaking loss for a Notre Dame team that had started 6-0 before stumbling down the stretch to a 7-5 record. A bowl game win over LSU salvaged some optimism for the program’s future, but that loss to Northwestern was a shocking result that contributed to one of the more appalling stretches of Irish football in the Brian Kelly era.
