I would be brief for this text as I’m still processing this show. It was a mixture of contradictions that was made to impress. It was a mixture of contradictions that aimed to impress. I was impressed and in a way obsessed by certain points.

What did our critic think of QUO VADIS at Gdynia Musical Theater?

What did our critic think of DEAR EVAN HANSEN at Teatr Muzyczny Poznan?

It’s either an activity associated with an image of an old granny, an old school activity like in France, connected with Irish routs like in the UK or Ireland. There is also a third possibility, a young, vibrant, bringing together people from different backgrounds with a fresh but great respect for tradition.

It all starts with an old-fashioned welcome drink. I mean real old school, from 70 years ago. Vodka, lard spread on bread, and fermented cucumber in a vintage bar with all the newspapers and old songs performed. You're starting to get in the mood!

I love watching dance in all possible forms and I think we don't get enough of it in Polish scenes, so when the opportunity to see dance in pure form presented itself, I couldn't resist and I never have enough!

As summer has already hit us with heat and steam, we all think about the holidays as the school year ends. There are some goodbyes, some tears, and waving bye-bye. There are also some summaries, and I was honored to witness the 15th birthday of a musical school designed with passion, kindness, and what we love the most: THE MUSICALS!

A comic opera with music by Jacques Offenbach, directed by J.J. Polonski, the master of the Polish magical music scene (look at The Beaty and The Beast or Pippin!), which brings the opera feerie into a modern version. Laughter, wild metaphors, fabulous costumes, and a sprinkle of fairy tale magic are mixed like a smoothie made by a unicorn on a sugar high.

Even though most of the Polish theaters are taking well-reserved sun-soaked snooze to recharge the batteries some places are welcoming the audience. Escape the heat and go to the theater!

This is my very first time at the Polish National Opera and as we all know, first times can be overrated. This is certainly not the case here.

This review would be awkwardly short but it's extremely difficult to put the feeling into words as this performance shows us how powerful the musical experience can be. I loved of course the lyrics, the plot, the characters, but, oh well, the music here is second to none. Period.

Everything invites you to go with the flow. The music, lights, and atmosphere absorb you into the deep cosmos of Bowie's world. It’s like you’re soaring through the air and doing it without effort. When music plays, it seems like gravity doesn't exist. Great vocals combined with the ease and lights make the experience intense and smooth.

What did our critic think of CAVALLERIA RUSTICANA / PAGLIACCI at Wroclaw Opera?

What did our critic think of I LOVE CHOPIN at Wroclaw Mime Theatre?

What did our critic think of GOLDEN RECORDS at Capitol Musical Theatre, Wroclaw?

What did our critic think of FRIENDS. THE UNAUTHORIZED MUSICAL PARODY at The Kujawsko-Pomorski Music Theatre, Torun?

We all love love stories, even those with Unhappy Ending and there is something comforting with the feeling of moving forward and turning pages. Agnieszka Osiecka was not the most optimistic writer but I love her texts, full of the virtuosity of the word itself and this bitter-magical taste of vulnerability and courage to live.

What did our critic think of 44TH STAGE SONG REVIEW at Capitol Musical Theatre, Wroclaw?

What did our critic think of COUGAR, THE MUSICAL at The Kujawsko-Pomorski Music Theatre, Torun? This theater is different, founded 10 years ago, and offers a small, intimate, and friendly ambiance. With 150 seats on the top floor of an old building in a charming old town, it creates an atmosphere of a welcoming and safe space where laughter is normal, the actors are close not only in their physical dimension. As far as I know, the repertoire is tailored to the off-broadway model and to be frank, I can't wait to explore more.

What did our critic think of TICK TICK... BOOM! at Roma? Some discoveries will change your life forever. My life was transformed when I first tried a date caramel made with three ingredients: dates, peanut butter, and hot water.
