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

Review: WHAT THE BUTLER SAW, Theatre Royal Windsor
UK / West End: May 09, 2024 Landmark show creaks at the edges, but gets its share of laughs in this highly accomplished touring show
Review: BETWEEN THE LINES, New Diorama Theatre
UK / West End: May 09, 2024 Sparks fly in this plucky grime infused play, but it doesn't quite catch fire
Review: THE GOVERNMENT INSPECTOR, Marylebone Theatre
UK / West End: May 09, 2024 Nikolai Gogol's 1836 satire The Government Inspector caused a stir for calling out the Russian government's corruption. It's easy to see why Peter Myers wanted to bring its relevant story to the stage two centuries later, but the biting commentary under the silliness is lost in translation in this chaotic production in spite of the talent onstage.
Review: VANITY FAIR, Open Bar Theatre
UK / West End: May 09, 2024 Pub garden theatre specialist Open Bar Theatre has returned for a spring season with a deft and slightly chaotic version of William Thackeray's Vanity Fair. Dealing with the fortunes of two young women, the story explores early 19th-century English society, specifically how money and ambition can define a person's fate.
Brighton Fringe Review: WHOA MAMA!, Spiegeltent, Bosco Theatre
UK / West End: May 09, 2024 The strapline for Stephanie Ware’s WHOA MAMA! had me intrigued – a one woman comedy about a 40-something woman and her choice to remain childfree. There’s certainly no shortage of rhetoric on this subject, particularly on social media where the childfree “movement” has a real chokehold. But the concept of a clownish comedy that explores the “opinions, arguments and science” behind this choice felt like a fresh take.
Review: SPIRITED AWAY, London Coliseum
UK / West End: May 09, 2024 Hayao Miyazaki’s legacy is one for the ages. The co-founder of Studio Ghibli revolutionised the Western consumption of anime and set a new standard for Japanese animated films. London isn’t a stranger to the stage adaptations of his creations: a major example is My Neighbour Totoro, which took up shop at the Barbican to great acclaim last year and has already announced a West End run for next year.
Review: TINA: THE TINA TURNER MUSICAL at Ohio Theatre
Columbus: May 08, 2024 This musical would flounder without a dynamic leading woman. In this case, TINA has two – Zurin Villanueva (who performed in the May 7 show) and Ari Groover because of the energy and vocal demands of the role.
Review: CORIOLANUS at Portland Center Stage
Portland: May 08, 2024 What did our critic think of CORIOLANUS at Portland Center Stage?
Review: TO LIFE: A CELEBRATION OF SHELDON HARNICK'S LEGACY ON HIS 100TH at 54 Below

No Mystery: Go See CLUE at Hippodrome
Baltimore: May 08, 2024 So, even with one major problem, the muddy sound denign, whether to go see this show is no mystery. The solution: catch it while it’s here.
Review: REEFER MADNESS at NextStop Theatre Company
Washington, DC: May 08, 2024 'Reefer Madness' is an incredibly smart and pointed show impersonating something far more pedestrian, and NextStop Theatre Company manages to capture this perfectly without ever feeling overproduced or trite. |
