BWW Reviews: BOOK CLUB PLAY Brings Intellect, Laughs to Horizon
After seeing the Horizon Theatre's new play on its sold-out opening night, I wouldn't have been surprised if it had opened with, 'This is the story of six friends picked to read a book and have their discussions taped to find out what happens when people stop being polite and start getting real... '...
BWW Reviews: Simplistic SISTER ACT Raises Voices, Hearts in Joyful Atlanta Return
While 'Sister Act: The Musical,' playing through Sunday at the Fabulous Fox Theatre, is by no means the epitome of theatrical storytelling, it succeeds in spades in its primary goal, and that is simply to entertain and empower. With a toe-tapping 70's inspired score, a script that never takes itself...
BWW Reviews: You'd Be Psycho to Miss Amazing 39 STEPS at GTA's Southern Stage in Buford
Don't walk, don't run, don't drive, don't take a ride with strangers on a train, but fly as fast as you can North by Northeast of Atlanta to the Gainesville Theatre Alliance's new Southern Stage in Buford and their side-splitting production of 'Alfred Hitchcock's The 39 Steps.' This is the maiden sh...
BWW Reviews: Hilarious ASSISTANCE Cast Provides Cure For Case of the Mondays at Pinch 'N' Ouch
How many times, at 1:27 on a Saturday morning, have you, in between handfuls of Cool Ranch Doritos, wished that someone would make a sequel to the 1999 movie classic 'Office Space?' Well, put down the Red Bull, because you are in luck! A new tale of hilarious, and sometimes depressing, life on the l...
BWW Reviews: Impressive, Tireless Cast Highlights GA Ensemble's Charming HELLO DOLLY!
'Hello Dolly...it's so nice to have you back where you belong.' I have to admit, prior to seeing the ebullient production of 'Hello Dolly!' at Georgia Ensemble Theatre, I generally considered the musical, by Jerry Herman (music and lyrics) and Michael Stewart (book), to be a relic of a bygone era, b...
BWW Review: FABULOUS LIPITONES At Theatrical Outfit A Must-See with Humor, Heart
There are few things that are as quintessentially American as the music of a barber shop quartet. The tight harmonies, the classic songs, and the styrofoam red, white, and blue hats conjure visions of small-town Main Streets and smells of popcorn and apple pie. In the world premiere of John Markus (...
BWW Reviews: PETITE ROUGE: Cajun Little Red Brings Fun, Gumbo to All Ages
With an exceptionally talented cast and sharp direction and choreography by Justin Anderson and Lori Werner respectively, 'Petite Rouge' is an appealing way for a family with young children to spend an afternoon or evening (To read the Broadway World Atlanta feature with the 'Petite Rouge' director ...
BWW Reviews: Actors' Express EQUUS- Challenging, Astounding Theatre
'Equus', now playing through April 21st at Actor's Express, is not a show that will appeal to everyone as it treads not so lightly on a number of rather taboo issues. That being said, if your sensibilities are not easily rattled, you will no doubt be astounded by the insight, artistry, and ability o...
BWW Reviews: I LOVE YOU...NOW CHANGE at Stage Door - Can't Miss Date-Night Fun
Whether it is a case of art imitating life, or the other way around, 'I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change,' playing now through April 14th at Stage Door Players, is a hilarious, slice-of-life musical that holds the mirror up to human nature, and then laughs at it. With book and lyrics by Tony-Win...
BWW Reviews: Aurora's DROWSY CHAPERONE - New Laughs in a Nostalgic Show
Before Oscar Hammerstein II, Jerome Kern, and Richard Rodgers revolutionized the American musical, Broadway was filled with shows comprised of simple, silly characters; fun, up-beat songs; and storylines and plot-twists that rarely made sense. While 'The Drowsy Chaperone' didn't debut until 1998, th...
BWW Reviews: MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET Brings Smiles and Heart to Fox
In recent years, many theatre purists have derided the trend of Broadway jukebox musicals, but 'Million Dollar Quartet', currently playing at the Fox Theatre, takes the best of all aspects of the genre, fusing the emotional reality of 'Jersey Boys' with the infectious joy of 'Smokey Joe's Cafe', to ...
BWW Reviews: Surrounded by 'Little Girls,' Sally Struthers Tap Dances a Fine Line for ANNIE
When Theater of the Stars premieres its 2012 production of 'Annie' Saturday night at Atlanta's Fox Theatre, audiences will find a familiar face in the role of disillusioned orphanage matron Miss Hannigan. But then, Sally Struthers has quite a bit of familiarity with the role, too....
BWW Reviews: For Tom Robbins, FIDDLER ON THE ROOF Feels Like Coming Home
Tom Alan Robbins first stepped into the role of Russian milkman Tevye in the classic Tony-winning musical Fiddler on the Roof some 40 years ago, as a high school student. This week, he returns to his stage roots at Atlanta's Fabulous Fox Theater, once again taking the Fiddler lead....
BWW Reviews: Idina Menzel Lights Up an Atlanta Summer Night
Outdoor events can be dicey propositions in any case, but rarely more so than on a July evening in Atlanta, where heat, humidity, and evening thunderstorms often combine to create miserable conditions. Not so on this night. As Atlanta's Chastain Park Amphitheater played host to Broadway legend Idina...
BWW Reviews: Twist - an American Musical
Reworking a classic story is not a new concept in the theatre world. Just ask the creators of Wicked or West Side Story. Taking something that audiences are already familiar with and turning it on its ear can be quite a task and is not without its challenges. First, there are the constant comparison...
BWW Reviews: Pageant: The Musical at 14th Street Playhouse
