Review: MAGGIE & ME, Tron Theatre
Scotland: May 13, 2024 Ten years after his award-winning memoir, Damian Barr revisits his past onstage with the National Theatre of Scotland in Maggie & Me. This brave piece recounts growing up gay in the straight world of Margaret Thatcher's working class Britain... among the Ravenscraig steelworks of Motherwell. Barr explores touching and timeless themes, but suffers slightly from a long-winded exposition.
Review: IRVINE WELSH'S PORNO, Kings Theatre Glasgow
Scotland: May 13, 2024 Porno lives up to its opening line: sequels are never as good as the original. Edinburgh's infamous pack of misfits (Renton, Bigbie, Sick Boy and Spud) reunite ten years after their appearances in the award-winning Trainspotting. They're all grown up, and surpisingly still alive.

Minneapolis / St. Paul: May 12, 2024 What did our critic think of BLENDED 和 (HARMONY): THE KIM LOO SISTERS at History Theatre/Theater Mu?
Review: WHAT THE CONSTITUTION MEANS TO ME at Open Stage
Central Pennsylvania: May 12, 2024 What the Constitution Means to Me is an important play that brings difficult themes, questions, statistics, and realities into the spotlight. It takes an empathetic, compassionate, thoughtful cast and crew to bring a show like this to life, and the team at Open Stage is just the right team to bring it to the Central PA area.

Boston: May 12, 2024 What did our critic think of AN EVENING WITH LESLIE ODOM, JR. at Emerson Colonial Theatre?
Review: Nashville Repertory Theatre's POTUS...
Nashville: May 12, 2024 Nashville Repertory Theatre closes out its 39th season with one of the best laugh-out-loud comedies we’ve ever seen on a Tennessee Performing Arts Center stage: Selina Fillinger’s uproariously funny, if all-too-real, POTUS or, Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive. Directed by the acclaimed Lauren Shouse and performed by an all-star cast that’s filled with seven of the best actors in Nashville, it’s a smart, incisive and topical farce that’s certain to lift your spirits and feed your soul.
Review: Jason Robert Brown Hits the High Notes at The 92nd Street Y, New York
Cabaret: May 12, 2024 The musical genius that is composer / lyricist Jason Robert Brown took center stage for his one night only performance of An Evening with Jason Robert Brown, part of the Lyrics & Lyricists event at The 92nd Street Y, New York on May 9, 2024. This reviewer was overwhelmed by the awe-inspiring compilation of melodies.
Review: THE LAST 5 YEARS at Fulton Theatre
Central Pennsylvania: May 12, 2024 Fulton has done some remarkable small-scale musicals on their fourth floor stage. Shows like Next to Normal and Five Guys Named Moe easily prove that not every show needs to have a big cast or a bigger budget to be entertaining and engaging. Unfortunately, The Last 5 Years isn’t in that same category for me.
Review: DUA: THE MONSTER'S STORY at Theatre Prometheus
Washington, DC: May 12, 2024 In DUA: THE MONSTER’S STORY, written and directed by Robin Berl, the classic story of Medusa is retold, giving the monster the chance to tell her own tragic tale.
Review: ABANDON ALL HOPE at West Art
Central Pennsylvania: May 12, 2024 Abandon All Hope is a timely show full of hope. I think it resonates especially well with younger audience members who may struggle with identity and acceptance.
Review: ON MIDNIGHT, FRIDAY THE 13TH at Ensemble Theatre
Houston: May 12, 2024 Sometimes, it’s fun to watch a theatre company let their hair down and have fun. And with ON MIDNIGHT, FRIDAY THE THIRTEENTH, the Ensemble Theatre does just that. This is a giggle-filled, fast-paced murder thriller in the vein of Agatha Christie being spoofed at every turn. It is high-energy, camp, and perfect if you want an evening watching a talented cast having a blast going through a farce.
Review: Tracy Letts' AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY at the Carrollwood Players
Tampa/St. Petersburg: May 12, 2024 This Pulitzer Prize winner is both fun and brutal, lengthy but never boring, heart-stopping and soul-stirring, and yet unblinking and sympathetic in its portrait of an American family in unruly disintegration.
Review: DIXIE'S TUPPERWARE PARTY at Kennedy Center
Washington, DC: May 12, 2024 What did our critic think of DIXIE'S TUPPERWARE PARTY at Kennedy Center?
Review: SWEENEY TODD at Eight O'Clock Theatre
Tampa/St. Petersburg: May 12, 2024 If there were a single word to describe my reaction to the powerhouse group of talented individuals in this community theatre, it would be gobsmacked. Each performer brought a unique vibrancy to their role, creating a gorgeous and haunting ensemble in its collective voice.D at Eight O'Clock Theatre?

Review: THE HOUSE PARTY, Chichester Festival Theatre

Review: Studio Tenn's Season-Closing CABARET
Nashville: May 11, 2024 Paul Vasterling, the longtime CEO and artistic director of Nashville Ballet, makes his debut as a director of musical theater with his revival of Cabaret – which he also choreographs – in a much-heralded and eagerly anticipated production for Franklin-based Studio Tenn. The timely and sumptuous revival allows audiences an opportunity to consider the prescience of the classic Broadway musical by John Kander and Fred Ebb that debuted in 1966 and which has continued to fascinate and challenge artists of the theater the world over almost 60 years later.
Review: SHINING IN MISERY at 54 Below Shines!
Cabaret: May 11, 2024 The madcap adventure took us on a tour de force celebration of some of Stephen King’s most beloved characters, brimming with so many references that even the biggest King aficionado would have their work cut out for them. And it’s not only King who earns the honor of a parody—no musical theatre show or pop culture icon was safe!
Review: SKELETON CREW at Guthrie Theater
Minneapolis / St. Paul: May 11, 2024 What did our critic think of SKELETON CREW at Guthrie Theater?
Review: HAY FEVER at Oyster Mill Playhouse
Central Pennsylvania: May 11, 2024 While each individual actor is spectacular in his or her role, what really makes this show engaging are the interactions between the characters.
