Review: TOPSY TURVY at The Actors Gang
Los Angeles: Evan Henerson on May 30, 2024 The latest play by The Actors’ Gang, written and directed by founder/Artistic Director Tim Robbins, is a melancholy reckoning over the early days of the covid pandemic...The gods are around for TOPSY TURVY, but they’re contemplative, grouchy and decidedly critical of the poor blighters who have disturbed them
Review: THE LEHMAN TRILOGY at American Conservatory Theatre
San Francisco / Bay Area: Steve Murray on May 30, 2024 A fresh off the boat Jewish immigrant from Bavaria stands in awe of the musical box that in New York City in 1884.

Review: COMPANY National Tour at the Denver Center
Denver: Jon Bee on May 30, 2024 The breadth of Sondheim's work all have one thing in common: the thumbprint of the musical artist that is Stephen Sondheim. Once you see enough of his shows, however, you start to notice the diversity in the stories. West Side Story, A Funny Thing Happens on the Way to the Forum, and Sweeney Todd, just to name a few, are all vastly different tales. Add to the list another Sondheim classic, but told in a whole new way, and you have the revival of Company currently on its national tour and the latest show to make a stop at the Buell Theatre.
Review: STRATEGIC LOVE PLAY, Soho Theatre

Denver: Jon Bee on May 30, 2024 I often think that are lives are marked in core memories, much like how they are pictured in the movie Inside Out. Moments in time that stand out from the rest: the good, the bad, and the ugly. If you had the chance to tell the story of your childhood, what moments would make the cut? In the latest show coming out of the DCPA Theatre Company, one playwright puts their core memories on display in Where Did We Sit on the Bus?

San Diego: ErinMarie Reiter on May 30, 2024 The world premiere musical “TL;DR: Thelma Louise; A Dyke Remix” playing at Diversionary Theatre is a dynamic, irreverent, and funny punk musical that contemplates questions of queer representation, who gets their happily ever after, and what that even looks like from a highly entertaining feminist and queer perspective.
Review: LAZARUS at Capitol Musical Theatre, Wroclaw
Poland: Natalia Jarczynska on May 30, 2024 Everything invites you to go with the flow. The music, lights, and atmosphere absorb you into the deep cosmos of Bowie's world.

Great vocals combined with the ease and lights make the experience intense and smooth.

Review: ROMEO AND JULIET, Sadler's Wells
UK / West End: Vikki Jane Vile on May 30, 2024 Leeds based Northern Ballet always pack a punch when they visit London every May, and this time was no different, with Massimo Moricone’s slick and captivating Romeo and Juliet.
