What did our critic think of KINKY BOOTS at Broadway San Jose?

San Jose is turning up the heat with SOME LIKE IT HOT! It bursts onto the stage in a blaze of jazz, joy and unapologetic flair. With dazzling choreography, comedy, and a story that balances the 1930s Prohibition era with 21st-century heart, this Broadway tour redefines what musical comedy can be.

What did our critic think of & JULIET AT BROADWAY SAN JOSE NOW THRU OCTOBER 12 at Broadway San Jose? Playing now through October 12 at Broadway San Jose, & Juliet is a much-needed confection of mayhem, laughter and empowerment all delivered by one of the most professional casts and creative teams I've seen in a long time.

What did our critic think of LES MISÉRABLES at Orpheum Theatre?

Imagine the opposite of Dorothy's dull house landing in the tehnicolor world of Oz, and you'll have an idea of what Vau de Vire Presents The Soiled Dove is like!

SHUCKED opened last night at BroadwaySF’s Curran Theatre and let me just say—the show popped! The story begins in the idyllic and insulated, corn-reliant town of Cob County, where a wedding is about to take place—until the corn suddenly begins to wither, threatening the town’s very existence.

It was the 1984 Grammys, and a friend and I were lucky enough to score tickets in the cheap seats at LA’s Shrine Auditorium. Michael Jackson’s Thriller was a global phenomenon, and the excitement was electric even before the award show began.

While many performances deliver a pleasing experience, only a rare, luminous creation possesses the alchemical magic to truly dazzle, delight, and forever enchant an audience, leaving an indelible mark on their hearts and minds.  And what, you ask, is this extraordinary show? Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Moulin Rouge! The Musical, a jukebox musical like no other. Prepare to be utterly captivated!

It’s a good guess that ticket buyers walking into the Golden Gate Theatre will anticipate a rip-roaring concert of Neil Diamond's greatest hits – and the show absolutely delivers on that front.

The national tour of Shrek the Musical, in all its gassy, green glory, opened at Broadway San Jose and captivated the audience from start to finish. Hilariously funny, heartwarming, and—strangely enough—healing, Shrek the Musical is theater magic at its finest and is a must-see for audiences of all ages, especially kids.

What did our critic think of KIMBERLY AKIMBO at Curran Theatre!

Broadway San Jose has another laugh-out-loud hit on their hands with CLUE, the high-energy farce based on the classic board game and the 1985 movie of the same name. Though the movie became a cult classic, nothing compares to the raw energy of Sandy Rustin’s stage adaptation of Jonathan Lynn’s screenplay.
