BWW Review: THE FLOWER ROOM at Actor's Express
The Flower Room, a world premiere by Atlanta-based playwright Daryl Fazio, is as good as it can be. The acting is fine. The direction is adequate. The set by Kristina White is superior. Unfortunately, the script, which was showcased last year in the AE Threshold Festival of New Plays, is seri...
BWW Review: DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS at Atlanta Lyric Theatre
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, a musical farce based on the 1988 film of the same name, opened on Friday evening at Atlanta Lyric Theatre, and despite the fact that the book by Jeffrey Lane doesn't manage the governing tension of the story as well as its film predecessor and that the music by David Yazbek...
Review: THE BALLAD OF KLOOK AND VINETTE Makes American Premiere at Horizon Theatre
A man with a criminal past, in search of nothing. A woman 20ish years younger with big dreams, in search of a new beginning. Is instant chemistry enough to keep them together? Horizon Theatre pursues the answer to this question in their newest premiere, THE BALLAD OF KLOOK AND VINETTE....
BWW Review: LOVE NEVER DIES at The Fox Theatre
LOVE NEVER DIES, Andrew Lloyd Webber's sequel to the hit Broadway phenomenon THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, has made its way to The Fox Theatre for the Atlanta leg of the national tour.

BWW Review: THE SLEEPY HOLLOW EXPERIENCE at Serenbe Playhouse

Review: Aurora's ABIGAIL/1702 Scares the Hell out of Atlanta

BWW Review: SENSE AND SENSIBILITY at Synchronicity Theatre
Young playwright Kate Hamill is the best thing to happen to Jane Austen since Colin Firth. Her wonderfully witty and whimsical adaptations of Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility are the best stage adaptations of Austen's work to date. Anyone who saw Bedlam's rapturous production of Sense...
BWW Review: HOLLER IF YA HEAR ME at Kenny Leon's True Colors Theatre Company

BWW Review: SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE at Alliance Theatre
When the 1998 film Shakespeare in Love trotted away with seven Academy Awards, including one celebrating the original screenplay by Tom Stoppard and Marc Norman, nobody could have been particularly surprised. The nimble script and lavish period design made it a veritable shoe-in for Oscar gold. Now,...
BWW Review: MY FAIR LADY at Atlanta Lyric Theatre
In June, the New York Post reported that Colin Firth, who is rumored to have turned down the role of Henry Higgins in the upcoming, highly-anticipated 2018 Lincoln Center revival of My Fair Lady, might still be considering the role. Just a few days ago, they claimed that Lauren Ambrose could be o...
BWW Review: CABARET at Serenbe Playhouse
It's hot out at Serenbe Playhouse this month. But the heat isn't coming from the oppressive Georgia-in-August sun. It's coming from the racy and enthralling production of Kander and Ebb's Cabaret on display at the Kit Kat Club, a neon-framed outdoor cabaret club, complete with cabaret tables fla...
BWW Review: ROBIN HOOD at Serenbe Playhouse
In our family album, there is a photograph of me at around 18 months old, and I'm crying. Though I have no memory of the moment that's been captured for posterity, I've been told that I had just gotten a smidge of dirt on my pink dress. I try not to think about this as I traverse the muddy embankmen...

BWW Review: THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME at Aurora Theatre And Theatrical Outfit
When Aurora Theatre announced that its 22nd season would open with a production of The Hunchback of Notre Dame, a production offered in partnership with Theatrical Outfit, screams of giddy delight could be heard in the Broadway-themed living rooms of theatre nerds all across Atlanta.

BWW Review: BEAUTY AND THE BEAST at Atlanta Lyric Theatre
The live-action remake of Disney's Beauty and the Beast that opened in March of this year has made over $1 billion at the box office so far. That's nine zeros, which easily makes the film the highest earning movie musical of all time. And if all those gold coins in the studio coffers are any indicat...
BWW Review: MY SON THE WAITER: A JEWISH TRAGEDY at 7 Stages Theatre
Funnyman Brad Zimmerman has come to 7 Stages Theatre in Atlanta with his critically acclaimed one-man show, My Son The Waiter: A Jewish Tragedy. Zimmerman calls the show a hybrid. Part stand-up. Part theatre. And the stand-up part is funny. Really funny. That's not surprising given that ...

BWW Review: FATHER COMES HOME FROM THE WARS (PARTS 1, 2, AND 3) at Actor's Express
When Pulitzer Prize winner Suzan-Lori Parks's Father Comes Home from the Wars (Parts 1, 2, & 3) premiered at The Public Theater in New York in 2014, The New York Times called it 'extraordinary' and Huffington Post declared it to be a 'triumphant' work with 'soaring language and provocative debate.' ...
BWW Review: JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR at Atlanta Lyric Theatre
If his four shows currently running on Broadway are any indication, 2017 is the year of Andrew Lloyd Webber. Webber is the first composer to have four simultaneously-running Broadway shows since Rodgers and Hammerstein managed the feat in 1953. And Atlanta Lyric Theatre is joining in the Webber co...
