Review: MILO IMAGINES THE WORLD More Than Meets the Eye at Alliance Theatre
When a show is titled Milo Imagines the World, it’s easy to assume that anything might happen. And currently on the Hertz stage of the Alliance Theatre, that is exactly what is going down....
Review: THE DARK LADY at Synchronicity Theatre
When one studies history it is easy to forget how much detail is lost. The real lives of the legends we read about in books, their influences, their fears, those they know and, importantly, those they love are often missing from the annals of time. Some of these people, standing just in the peripher...
Review: Good Trouble Makes for Good Theater - YOUNG JOHN LEWIS Premieres at Theatrical Outfit
Telling the story of the beginnings of Georgia-based Congressman John Lewis's life through his early days as a civil rights activist, the show blends musical theatre with hip-hop for a fresh new tale that could only be made in Atlanta....
Review: MILLIONS at Alliance Theatre
What would you do if a fortune in cash fell from the sky? This theoretical question can be a popular conversation starter at dinner parties or on long road trips. The answer usually varies from large purchases, to paying off bills, to helping the needy. But have you ever thought what you would reall...
Review: Doubt It Not, DOUBT at Actor’s Express is Stunning
Atlantans have only just finished celebrating Easter and the recent papal placement of Leo XIV when a third gift has been bestowed upon saints and sinners alike - the new production of John Patrick Shanley’s Doubt: A Parable, directed by Freddie Ashley at Actor’s Express....
Review: WAITRESS at Aurora Theatre
Aurora Theatre’s fresh and fulfilling WAITRESS combines what I would consider the core ingredients for a great musical – strong talent, creative vision, and heart, to create a production as sweet and satisfying as one of Jenna’s tasty masterpieces....
Review: PRIDE AND PREJUDICE by The Atlanta Shakespeare Company and Belle Esprit
Romance. Wit. Engaging. Timeless. These are a few words that could be used to describe Jane Austen’s 1813 novel Pride and Prejudice a literary classic that is still devoured by readers over two hundred years later. A novel so beloved has certainly had its share of adaptations which have brought th...

What did our critic think of TOPDOG UNDERDOG at Actor's Express?...
Review: I CARRY YOUR HEART WITH ME is captivating and resonant at Horizon Theatre Company
Some stories are so emotional, so raw, and so real that it can be hard to tell it more than once. So, when someone draws up enough courage and strength to share these sometimes-difficult glimpses into their life – to quote a great American playwright Arthur Miller “Attention must be paid.” Suc...
Review: RAGTIME Soars at City Springs Theatre Company
What did our critic think of RAGTIME at City Springs Theatre Company?...
Review: JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR at Springer Opera House
Today, an entire genre of Christian rock exists to mix praise with modern music. But in 1970, it was unheard of until Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's Jesus Christ Superstar burst onto the scene. The mix of heart-pounding guitar chords with the story of the final week of Christ's ministry was re...
Review: World-Premiere: BUST, Makes Meaning Out of Madness at Alliance Theatre
BUST, the Alliance Theatre and Goodman Theatre world-premiere co-production written by Pulitzer Prize-finalist Zora Howard is 'a revelatory and genre-defying exploration of community, conflict, and the far-reaching impacts of historical racism.' Directed by Tony Award nominee Lileana Blain-Cruz, BUS...
Review: KING OF PANGEA: Performers Shine Amid Rocky Plot at Aurora Theatre
In a theatrical world filled with musicals based on books and movies (and musicals based on movies based on books too), it's a rare treat to get a truly original piece. In fact, it's something audiences and reviewers alike have been clamoring for, if any theater-based message board or social media p...

Review: A CHRISTMAS STORY: THE MUSICAL at Springer Opera House
COLUMBUS, GEORGIA — A Christmas Story is one of the most beloved holiday films of all time.

Over the past ten years, productions of the ...
Review: A HOLIDAY SPECTACULAR Where You Least Expect It
The Six Flags Holiday Spectacular is a brand new Christmas-themed show that is one of the biggest features of Six Flags Over Georgia’s Holiday in the Park.

Review: HAIRSPRAY 'Can't Stop the Beat' at Out Front Theatre Company
At Out Front Theatre Company, 2024 Atlanta has become 1960s Baltimore as audiences flock to see their current production of Hairspray. Filled with humor and catchy tunes, it’s a show that is charming and fun while giving the viewers a deeper message too, one about equality and giving the underdo...
Review: MISERY at Springer Opera House
A critically injured novelist. His “number one fan” coming to his aid. At first, she is a godsend. But when fandom turns into obsession, events take a darker turn. The play may be called Misery, but at the Springer Opera House, the show is a pleasure. Read the review.

Review: JERSEY BOYS at the Springer Opera House
Featuring golden oldies like “Sherry,” “Walk Like a Man,” and “Oh, What a Night,” Jersey Boys might look like a vehicle for boomer nostalgia. But at the Springer Opera House, it is so much more than that. The stellar performances and dynamic directing make Jersey Boys a moving show that ...
