REGIONAL REVIEWS

Review: GIRL FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY at Broadway at The Hobby Center
Houston: May 01, 2024

It is not a flashy musical with special effects and huge dance numbers, but rather a somber meditation on Depression Era America and deep cuts of Bob Dylan’s songbook. It’s brilliant, and it will make you think. It’s akin to watching ghosts sing Americana arias, something you will never quite shake. 

Set in the World of Haute Couture, BIZET'S CARMEN Opens at Theatro Municipal de Sao Paulo
Brazil: May 01, 2024

The passionate work, which entered the canon and the hearts of the public due to its protagonist's transgression and the unforgettable Habanera aria, is set in a haute couture atelier with the signature of a specialist in the theme, director Jorge Takla, Ronaldo Zero as associate diretor and musical direction by Roberto Minczuk.

Review: DISASTER! THE MUSICAL at West Hudson Arts & Theatre Company
New Jersey: May 01, 2024

Disaster! puts a comedic spin on the beloved classic disaster movie genre, infused with the funky beats of disco! As the curtains rise on the grand opening of New York City's latest sensation, the floating casino known as the Barracuda, an impending earthquake threatens to turn the night upside down.

Review: Musikal Masih Ada and the Turbulent Lives of Cancer Patients
Indonesia: May 01, 2024

On April 23rd 2024, Yayasan Kanker Indonesia (Indonesian Cancer Foundation) produced the original musical Musikal Masih Ada (Still Remains the Musical), in collaboration with Taman Ismail Marzuki, Jakpro, and new performing arts company Adpro. The musical ran for two shows at Graha Bhakti Budaya, Jakarta.

Review: DAVID ET JONATHAS at Grand Théâtre
Luxembourg: May 01, 2024

At the helm of a formidable cast of actors and musicians, Bellorini and his company crafted a memorable show with a uniquely layered narrative, that surely touched the hearts and minds of everyone in the audience.

Review: A CHORUS OF DISAPPROVAL, Salisbury Playhouse
UK / West End: May 01, 2024

What can be more cheering on a dreary, wet evening than seeing a jolly Alan Ayckbourn comedy?

Review: EPISTROPHY for Outstanding Cuisine in a Cozy and Welcoming Setting
Food + Wine: May 01, 2024

Here’s the best reason to head downtown! Dine at Epistrophy on Mott Street, the cozy, welcoming Italian restaurant with a great vibe and an outstanding, unique menu.

Review: LAUGHING BOY, Jermyn Street Theatre
UK / West End: May 01, 2024

When Connor dies whilst in the care of the NHS, his mum, Sara, wants answers. Premiering under Stephen Unwin’s taut direction, Sara Ryan’s Laughing Boy is a bittersweet docu-play about brutal neglect and apathy. While it’s a damning inquiry into the shortcomings of public health, is it a good play or is it a great production of a rather mediocre one? In our opinion, it's the second.

Review: SISTER ACT, Kings Theatre Glasgow
Scotland: May 01, 2024

This divine revival of the iconic movie follows nightclub singer Deloris van Cartier (Landi Oshinowo), whose life takes an unlikely turn after she witnesses a mobster murder. Seeking refuge in a holy convent, she poses as a nun revamping the sisters' struggling choir... despite protests from the austere Mother Superior (Coronation Street's Sue Cleaver). 

Review: BEAUTIFUL: THE CAROLE KING STORY at Argenta Contemporary Theatre
Arkansas: April 30, 2024

What did our critic think of BEAUTIFUL: THE CAROLE KING STORY at Argenta Contemporary Theatre?

Review: A VOLTE SI SOGNA al TEATRO OLIMPICO
Italy: April 30, 2024

A VOLTE SI SOGNA al TEATRO OLIMPICO UN RECITAL DI GRAN CLASSE PER FESTEGGIARE I 60 ANNI DI CARRIERA DI GIGLIOLA CINQUETTI

Review: STEEL MAGNOLIAS at Theatre Memphis
Memphis: April 30, 2024

What’s up with all these therapists’ offices masquerading as beauty parlors? Women walk into these places as broken shells of themselves and often walk out feeling on top of the world. Sure, they get their hair and/or nails done, but they get so much more than just that. They’re renewed.

Review: FROZEN, Greenwich Theatre
UK / West End: April 30, 2024

Is serial killing ever a forgivable act? A controversial question certainly and the central premise of Bryony Lavery’s Frozen. Told from three points of view, this play explores the impacts of trauma and loss on very different members of society.

Review: PIPPIN - 50TH ANNIVERSARY CONCERT, Theatre Royal Drury Lane
UK / West End: April 30, 2024

Stephen Schwartz's 70s musical Pippin makes a triumphant return with a note perfect casting at Drury Lane's concert version, with Fosse-inspired choreography and costumes given a disco pride vibe. Alex Newell's vocals do not disappoint, Jac Yarrow is a fine lead, while Patricia Hodge is a poignant Berthe.

Review: MINORITY REPORT, Lyric Hammersmith
UK / West End: April 30, 2024

It ought to echo with eerie prescience in 2024 as an ever-closer prophecy for an age where AI and algorithms will dictate the minutiae of our lives. But David Haig's new stage adaption is more like a cyberpunk-themed orgy at Printworks.

Review: THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME at Lincoln Theatre
Columbus: April 29, 2024

Brilliant acting mixed in with a powder keg of singing, dancing, and orchestration stuns its audience.

Review: ANASTASIA THE MUSICAL at Ouachita Baptist University Jones Performing Arts Center
Arkansas: April 29, 2024

What did our critic think of ANASTASIA THE MUSICAL at Ouachita Baptist University Jones Performing Arts Center?

Review: SONGBOOK SUNDAYS Delights Once More at Dizzy's
Cabaret: April 29, 2024

The 'Songbook Sundays' makes the second day of a weekend a first-rate experience. Rodgers & Hammerstein were on tap on April 21 in a season that included a focus on Frank Loesser, with Johnny Mercer's turn coming up in June.

Review: BALLET HISPÁNICO CELEBRATES 2024 SEASON at New York City Center
Dance: April 29, 2024

What did our critic think of BALLET HISPÁNICO CELEBRATES 2024 NEW YORK CITY CENTER SEASON at New York City Center?

Review: Hale Centre Theatre's MAY WE ALL is a Celebration of Country
Salt Lake City: April 29, 2024

MAY WE ALL on Hale Centre Theatre’s Centre Stage in Sandy is the regional premiere of a country jukebox musical from Florida Georgia Line that features more than two dozen songs from artists such as Brooks and Dunn, Reba McEntire, Dolly Parton, Kacey Musgraves, Miranda Lambert, Keith Urban, Kenny Chesney, and more.
