Review: AT THE WEDDING at Studio Theatre
Washington, DC: March 18, 2024

At the Wedding is a comedy with tragedy sprinkled in like celebratory confetti that proves difficult to clean up once dispersed. It tries to squeeze in a lot of different ideas, tones, and resonances into barely over an hour. Not all of it lands, but there are seriously funny moments mixed in with the ones that fall flat–and in a story about messy resilience, the unevenness sometimes works.

Review: Camille Diamond's OVER THE MOON…ON PLUTO TRANSIT is a stellar show
Cabaret: March 18, 2024

Camille Diamond has been nominated for a MAC Award for Best Debut and it’s not hard to see why. Her crystal clear, mellifluous voice and wonderful storytelling abilities had the audience captivated from the moment she entered Don’t Tell Mama’s Original Room on the weekend.

Review: 42ND STREET at Osceola Arts
Orlando: March 18, 2024

There are some standard musical theatre moments that never fail to take my breath away. From the powerful 11th hour “I want” song to a perfectly in sync kick line, certain musical mainstays will simply never get old for me. And one of the best examples of musical nirvana, I believe, is a well-choreographed and expertly executed tap number. Nothing thrills like seeing a group of performers executing the complex and rhythmically entrancing dances that are extremely difficult to master but seem effortless due to the skill and talent of those on stage. So, I was thrilled to have the chance to take in Osceola Arts’ latest production of the classic musical 42ND STREET and I am here to tell you, it did not disappoint. This fantastic production includes some of the finest choreography (and dancing) I have seen on stage here in Central Florida in my four years here and is a fabulous foray into a bygone era of classic movie musicals that provides non-stop entertainment and musical theatre magic in every moment.

Review: NATASHA, PIERRE & THE GREAT COMET OF 1812! at Seacoast Repertory Theatre
New Hampshire: March 18, 2024

What did our critic think of NATASHA, PIERRE & THE GREAT COMET OF 1812! at Seacoast Repertory Theatre? The Seacoast Repertory Theatre is staging a regional premiere of “Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812!,” Dave Malloy’s Broadway sensation that’s a fusion of Russian folk music with indie rock, electronica, and pop mixed in.  

Review: Brunch at RED HORSE by David Burke Bernards Inn-The Sunday Meal Gem

Review: SALLY MAYES Continues Her Reign at The Green Room 42

Review: THE DIVAS BALL at Vincent Victoria Presents
Houston: March 18, 2024

It’s fun, a bit quirky, and has a Fellini-sized cast that should make your head spin in all the right ways. Apparently, it takes an army to make a diva, but then again, is that a surprise?

Review: THE BARBER OF SEVILLE, Wilton's Music Hall
UK / West End: March 18, 2024

In the week when an Arts Council England report lambasted the current state of opera and questioned its relevance to wider society, Charles Court Opera’s The Barber Of Seville stands as a stern rebuff to those who consider this art form to be dated and irrelevant.

Review: MAMMA MIA! Delivers Dynamo Performance at the Ohio Theatre
Columbus: March 18, 2024

With familiar hits such as “Dancing Queen,” “Mamma Mia,” and “Honey, Honey,” MAMMA MIA! has a leg up on most musicals: audiences already know the songs. But to surmount and overcome the expectations of audiences is no easy feat. The 25th Anniversary Tour of MAMMA MIA! blows all expectations out of the Grecian waters!

Review: THE 39 STEPS at SF Playhouse
San Francisco / Bay Area: March 18, 2024

What did our critic think of THE 39 STEPS at SF Playhouse? Director Susi Damilano and a superb cast spin comic gold out of Patrick Barlow’s parody of Hitchcock’s spy caper filled with chase scenes, female bombshells, and Nazi villains

Review: COUGAR, THE MUSICAL at The Kujawsko-Pomorski Music Theatre, Torun
Poland: March 18, 2024

What did our critic think of COUGAR, THE MUSICAL at The Kujawsko-Pomorski Music Theatre, Torun? This theater is different, founded 10 years ago, and offers a small, intimate, and friendly ambiance. With 150 seats on the top floor of an old building in a charming old town, it creates an atmosphere of a welcoming and safe space where laughter is normal, the actors are close not only in their physical dimension. As far as I know, the repertoire is tailored to the off-broadway model and to be frank, I can't wait to explore more.
