What did our critic think of THE BAKERY TOUR - CUPCAKE at Varsity Theatre Minneapolis?

I had the chance to see the national tour of Mrs. Doubtfire while it was at the Ordway Center for the Performing Arts this week, and it ended up being a really fun night at the theater. The musical is based on the well-known 1993 film starring Robin Williams, and it follows the same story about a struggling actor who disguises himself as a nanny so he can keep seeing his kids after a divorce.

PRIME Productions is bringing the world premiere of Abuelita to the stage this season, a heartfelt and magical new play by Playwrights’ Center Core Member Nathan Yungerberg, directed by Shá Cage.

What did our critic think of MIDNIGHT SUN TOUR - ZARA LARSSON at The Fillmore Minneapolis?

Cardi B’s Little Miss Drama Tour stop at the Target Center in Minneapolis was packed wall to wall. The show was completely sold out, and the crowd was already loud before anything even started. When the lights finally went down and the intro “Dead / Get Up 10” kicked in, smoke rolled across the stage and the whole place started screaming as Cardi came out.

Pachamama—the Inca-Quechua word for Mother Earth—meets Beethoven in composer Gabriela Lena Frank’s piece Pachamama Meets an Ode. Inspired by Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, the work reflects on the ideals of joy, unity, and progress that shaped Beethoven’s time during the Industrial Revolution, while inviting listeners to look at them from a new perspective.

A tornado, a pair of sparkling shoes, a yellow brick road, and a loyal dog named Toto—The Wizard of Oz has been delighting audiences for generations.

What did our critic think of STRANGE HEART: THE DREAM SONGS OF JOHN BERRYMAN at Open Eye Theatre And Skinny Dog Production?

Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None has been keeping readers and audiences guessing for decades, and Lyric Arts’ current production shows why the story still works so well. Running through March 22 in Anoka, the play delivers plenty of suspense, a steady build of tension, and a mystery that keeps the audience trying to figure things out right up until the end.

Singer-songwriter Morgan James has built a career around doing things her own way. The Broadway veteran and soul powerhouse has never been content to simply cover a song—she reshapes it, pulling new emotion and perspective from music listeners thought they already knew.

We’re excited to chat with DeVon Wycovia Buchanan, who plays Andre Mayem in the touring production of Mrs. Doubtfire at the Ordway in Saint Paul from March 17–22, 2026.

On February 27, 2026, I made the drive from Minneapolis down to the Des Moines Performing Arts Civic Center to catch the national tour of The Outsiders. I’d been hearing a lot of buzz about the show, and since it hasn’t made its way up to Minnesota yet, I figured it was worth the road trip to see it early. Turns out, it absolutely was.

Seeing The Music Man in Mason City just feels right. When the new national tour came through the North Iowa Area Community Auditorium, it felt a little different than seeing a typical touring Broadway show. This is the town where the musical’s creator, Meredith Willson, was born and raised, so the story has a real connection here.

Water for Elephants has officially set up shop at the Orpheum Theatre, and it honestly doesn’t take long to get swept up in it. From the start, it feels less like you’re sitting in a theatre seat and more like you’ve wandered backstage at a traveling circus that just happens to break into song.

The touring production of Water for Elephants will be at the Orpheum Theatre in Minneapolis from March 3–8, 2026, bringing its thrilling mix of circus, acrobatics, and musical theater to audiences. One of the standout performers is Sam Kellar-Long, whose role has him singing, dancing, performing aerial stunts, and even puppeteering, all in the same show.
