Review: FIRST STATE BALLET THEATRE AT THE GRAND OPERA HOUSE at The Grand Opera House
Delaware: May 10, 2024

It is not surprising to those who work in the live arts, performing arts or fine arts, that we understand a vibrant arts community attracts visitors who spend money and help keep local businesses thriving. They keep Delaware residents spending their money locally, vital income for local merchants.

Review: CHICAGO at Århus Teater
Denmark: May 10, 2024

Der er mord, korruption, magt, begær og alt det, der drev Chicago tilbage i 1920'erne, på menuen i musicalen 'Chicago', der netop nu spiller på Århus Teater. En pompøs, underholdende forestilling, der desværre går på kompromis med dansen. 

Review: 2024 DPAC Rising Star Awards
Raleigh: May 10, 2024

The DPAC Rising Star Awards is a regional competition that brings together high school musical theater students from Central and Eastern North Carolina to perform and compete for the chance to represent the Triangle in The National High School Musical Theater (otherwise known as The Jimmy) Awards in New York City on June 24th. The national competition celebrates outstanding student performances in high school musical productions from all over the United States. This year, students from 31 local high schools submitted applications in the hopes of being selected as a Triangle Rising Stars' Top 20 finalist.

Review: CABARET at Blackfriars Theatre
Central New York: May 10, 2024

One of theatre’s many powers is its ability to reflect the happenings of the outside world, illuminating events and societal trends, and even portending things to come. When “Cabaret” was written in 1966 we were only one generation removed from the biggest global conflict in world history, in which America and much of Europe battled down the forces of fascism and tyranny. The show explores the period leading to this tumultuous era, and now in 2024 as American democracy once again feels fragile and antisemitism is on the rise around the world, “Cabaret” is, unfortunately, quite topical.

Review: TWELFTH NIGHT, Regent's Park Open Air Theatre
UK / West End: May 10, 2024

“More matter for a May morning.” Given that the majority of Shakespeare’s plays began with outdoor performances of one kind or another, it’s a perfect fit for the leafy surroundings of Regent’s Park – which has made it all the more conspicuous for its absence from the programming over the past few seasons. Owen Horsley steers the ship as this well-loved comedy docks in north London for the next few weeks.

Review: FLEX at Penumbra Theatre
Minneapolis / St. Paul: May 10, 2024

What did our critic think of FLEX at Penumbra Theatre?

Review: GILLIAN COSGRIFF: ACTUALLY, GOOD, Soho Theatre
UK / West End: May 10, 2024

Gillian Cosgriff: Actually, Good begins with Cosgriff performing using a looper pedal, with backwards vocals and some chords from the onstage keyboard. She gives us context for several things in order to understand the show, including that the Whitsundays are islands and Australians like to make touristy things that are “big” like the “Big Prawn.”

Review: THE SABBATH GIRL Lights Up Penguin Rep Theatre Through May 26
Rockland / Westchester: May 09, 2024

The composing team of Gitter and Berg turn out some very serviceable tunes that drive both the story and the character arcs with a simple style that helps the passionate performers invest their characters with a lot of heart.

Review: Wednesday GUITAR NIGHTS Are Wonderful at Birdland
Cabaret: May 09, 2024

Frank Vignola makes the guitar sing. And his May 1st GUITAR NIGHT brought singer Karrin Allyson's tones, too, along with the band and guest violinist and a varied repertoire.

Review: SPIRITS TO ENFORCE at The Midnight Company
St. Louis: May 09, 2024

A veritable hail-storm of verbal shrapnel, with shreds and shards of Shakespeare, frenzied fund-raising fragments, and a sprightly sprinkle of super-powers.

Review: THE HELLO GIRLS at Terrace Theater/Kennedy Center
Washington, DC: May 09, 2024

What did our critic think of THE HELLO GIRLS at Terrace Theater/Kennedy Center? The Hello Girls tells the notable story of the 223 female telephone operators who served in the Army Signal Corps during World War I.

BWW Review: TINA: THE TINA TURNER MUSICAL - Simply the Best in Columbus
Columbus: May 09, 2024

TINA: The Tina Turner Musical came blazing in like a bolt of lightning with thunderous applause on opening night at the Ohio Theatre, just as most of our state was under severe tornado warnings.  TINA tells the remarkable story of the musical legend, and shares it all – the good, the bad, and the ugly – so be prepared for some cringe-worthy moments of raw and jolting physical, verbal and emotional abuse.  Despite that, TINA also shares her triumphant journey of resilience, redemption, freedom, and ultimate superstardom.  ritic think of TINA at Ohio?

Review: THE GLASS MENAGERIE at SF Playhouse
San Francisco / Bay Area: May 09, 2024

Tom Wingfield opens Tennessee William’s haunting memory play with this admonition: “Yes, I have tricks in my pocket, I have things up my sleeve. But I am the opposite of a stage magician. He gives you the illusion that has the appearance of truth. I give you truth in the pleasant disguise of illusion.” What follows in this stunning production is a sometimes surreal, always emotionally devastating remembrance of a broken family teetering on the edges of disillusion and the hope of salvation.

Review: JOHN LLOYD YOUNG Wows with His Lush Tenor and Soaring Falsetto
St. Louis: May 09, 2024

The Blue Strawberry in Midtown St. Louis welcomed John Lloyd Young on Wednesday evening for the first of two Shows.Highlights from his set included a soulful performance of the R & B classic “Show and Tell,” and a haunting introspective rendition of The Hollies song “The Air That I Breathe.” To say that Young’s voice is special is an understatement. His phrasing is impeccable. His vowels are open, pure, and rich. Young’s tenor is lush and resonant with pitch-perfect head and chest voice and a falsetto that soars. His vocal stylings are magnificent.  

Review: GOD OF CARNAGE at Whippoorwill Hall Is an Audience Pleaser
