Review: RAGNAROK, Platform, Glasgow
Scotland: March 28, 2024

A young girl and her brother battle forward, seeking a future in a promised land. Two souls in a sea of thousands, they move through a fractured world as dream and reality clash around them. A collision of ancient myth and modern spectacle, Ragnarok takes its inspiration from Norse mythology’s cyclical tale of the same name. It is a story about fate and self-determination, mortals and gods, the world’s end and its rebirth.

Review Roundup: What Did the Critics Think of MJ THE MUSICAL in the West End?
UK / West End: March 28, 2024

The multi-Tony Award®- winning musical MJ has now opened at the Prince Edward Theatre.

Review: MADAMA BUTTERFLY, Royal Opera House
UK / West End: March 28, 2024

There are few things more life-affirming than christenings, orgies and operas. And few works are more life-affirming and cathartic than Giacomo Puccini’s Madama Butterfly.

Review: THE EXPLORERS CLUB at Stirling Community Theatre
Australia - Adelaide: March 28, 2024

A gloriously silly show that will tickle your funny bone.

Review: WOMAN IN BLACK, Theatre Royal Glasgow
Scotland: March 28, 2024

Sometimes tactical stagecraft, talented actors and a minimalist set are all you need to evoke spine-chilling terror.

Review: PIERRE NOVELLIE: WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING?, Soho Theatre
UK / West End: March 28, 2024

Pierre Novellie: Why Are You Laughing? has an interesting question for a name, but the reason he is asking does not actually come into play until the end of the show. Novellie has a French first name, an Italian last name, is South African and moved to the Isle of Man, but, “there’s no time to explain that.”

Review: CAMBODIAN ROCK BAND at TheatreSquared
Arkansas: March 27, 2024

What did our critic think of CAMBODIAN ROCK BAND at TheatreSquared?

Review: MJ: THE MUSICAL, Prince Edward Theatre
UK / West End: March 27, 2024

This slathered-in-schmaltz hagiography is like watching the Zone of Interest: you know the disturbing stuff is always just out of view.

Review: THE PENELOPIAD at Women's Theatre Collective
Sacramento: March 27, 2024

Margaret Atwood’s play, The Penelopiad, is a fascinating glimpse into an oft overlooked character. The book of the same name was published in 2005 as part of the Canongate Myth Series, in which contemporary authors write their version of ancient myths. Atwood’s story concerns Penelope, wife of Odysseus, and recounts events from her point of view.

Review: HOME, I'M DARLING at Jarrott Productions
Austin: March 27, 2024

What did our critic think of HOME, I'M DARLING at Jarrott Productions? Now onstage at Trinity Street Playhouse is Jarrott Productions latest offering to our theatre scene: HOME, I’M DARLING. Winner of the Olivier Award for Best Comedy in 2019, playwright Laura Wade’s HOME I’M DARLING raises questions about the authenticity of nostalgia, the pressures of conforming to traditional gender roles, and the ways in which individuals construct their own identities.

Review: ALAN CUMMING IS NOT ACTING HIS AGE delights Sanders Theatre audience
Boston: March 27, 2024

What did our critic think of ALAN CUMMING IS NOT ACTING HIS AGE at Sanders Theatre? In his eponymous show Alan Cumming Is Not Acting His Age, the performer definitely lives up to the title.

Review: WOLF PLAY at Wilbury Theatre Group
Rhode Island: March 27, 2024

At the beginning of ‘Wolf Play,’ Hansol Jung’s gripping, intense drama, now playing at Wilbury Theatre Group, an individual casually walks on stage, faces the audience, and poses the question, “What if I said I am not what you think you see?”

Review: 54 Below Celebrated the Marquis Theater in a Jubilant Night of Song
Cabaret: March 27, 2024

54 Below is known for its seemingly endless variety of themes as happy reasons to group songs from musical theatre. Here's another, looking at some shows that came to the Marquis, starting in 1986. There were over 30 musicals that played the Marquis Theatre, and nine were revisited with songs and stories at 54 Below.

ČARODĚJKY ZE SALEMU v Divadle J. K. Tyla v Plzni
Prague: March 27, 2024

What did our critic think of ČARODĚJKY ZE SALEMU at Divadlo J. K. Tyla V Plzni? Po 55 letech od první premiéry se do Plzně vrátila inscenace Čarodějky ze Salemu Arthura Millera. Jeho dílo je silně politickou hrou zasazenou na pozadí skutečné historické události, čarodějnických procesů v Salemu. Hra je reakcí na procesy poloviny 20. století v USA, tzv. Mccarthismus, kdy byli nejen umělci, ale hlavně federální úředníci stíháni za vykonstruované vazby na komunistickou stranu.

Review: BREEDING, King's Head Theatre
UK / West End: March 27, 2024

'Why do you want to be a parent?' This expansive, almost unanswerable question is one of many asked to gay couple Zeb and Eoin when they decide they want to adopt. In Breeding, writer Barry McStay unpacks the ‘new normal’ of queer parenthood in a crowd-pleasing narrative that doesn’t shy away from the darker moments.

Review: A FROGGY BECOMES at Open Fist Theatre Company
Los Angeles: March 27, 2024

Writer Becky Wahlstrom imbues A FROGGY BECOMES with an absurdism that is only complemented by the absurdism of the ’80s with the neons and the poofy hair and the synthesized music.

Review: HAND TO GOD at The Roustabouts Theatre Co
San Diego: March 27, 2024

If the saying “laughter is the best medicine” is true, then the irreverent and funny “Hand To God” by The Roustabouts will cure what ails you. 

Review: HAEMOSPORIDIAN, Lyric Hammersmith
UK / West End: March 27, 2024

Haemosporidian is a critique of the destructive force of new developments clad in dark tragicomedy. Callum and Henry live in less than perfect conditions, but they’re happy and care deeply for each other. Among the mould stains and thin walls of their estate, they feel at home. When a demolition notice arrives in the shape of an evil toff, they’re forced out of their unlikely idyll

Review: OPENING NIGHT, Gielgud Theatre
UK / West End: March 26, 2024

Now a stage musical, John Cassavetes’ 1977 film Opening Night was a commercial flop when it was released, later becoming something of a cult classic of American independent cinema. Director Ivo Van Hove specialises in bringing work to the stage that may be called “challenging”. Challenging can be hugely successful, but I’ve rarely seen a production more determined to confuse and frustrate an audience.

Review: JUST IN STYNE: KAREN SINGS JULE Spreads the Joy at Birdland
Cabaret: March 26, 2024

Karen Mason was transcendent in JUST IN STYNE: KAREN SINGS JULE at Birdland Jazz Club. The versatile singer rocked the house last night, on Monday March 25th with a gorgeous selection of Jule Styne classics.
