Beautifully choreographed by Seth Travaglino and directed by Chris Marshall, this is one of the finest high school shows you'll see.

With Belvo and Meyer leading the way, this is as funny an ODD COUPLE as you will likely see.

It's sold out for its entire 13-show run; does it live up to the hype?

A mime verbally announces his love. Two girls fall head over heels with the same boy during auditions for Romeo and Juliet. A senior has a last homework assignment...and it's a doozy. Dancers try to uncover a mystery of what has happened to their dance shoes and fluffy slime. A young man is incarcerated in a Burundi prison.

It starts off like a very funny 1950's sit-com with a gay twist and ends as a devastating plea for respect and self-acceptance.

If you are a teacher or a parent, it will leave you battered, shattered, withered, at times elated and almost always looking at things in a new way.

It's tons of fun and enchanting, despite some weaknesses with the show's new book.

It's one theatrical ride that you need to experience!

Although it comes across as 'The Breakfast Club' meets 'Natural Born Killers,' it's powerful as hell.

Three heavy-hitting actors (Ned Averill-Snell, Ami Sallee and especially Christopher Marshall) bring Frayn's ideas and rich language to life.

BWW reviewer, Peter Nason, celebrates 2018 with his choices for the best in local theatre (Tampa, St. Pete and Sarasota) that the past year had to offer.

This fun holiday sequel to 'Pride and Prejudice' is escapist fare, mere fluff, but that's what's so right about it.

Despite its flaws, it will immediately put you in the Christmas spirit!

It will tap its way into your heart.

The show offers lots of nice voices and some incredible moments, but it's overall very inconsistent.

The Tampa Bay Area Premiere of a show that is heartbreaking and funny, and that features one of the finest performances local audiences have seen in quite a long time.

It's a beautiful show, gorgeously mounted, with a couple of questionable moves that do not detract from its overall loveliness.

It was like an entertaining musical mash-up tour of the Tony Award Winner's charmed life, and I didn't want it to end.

Carolan Trbovich wouldn't mind if you summed up her life in a single word: Wicked. Oh sure, some would think it might mean that she was being labeled as crafty or iniquitous. But that's not the case. For her, the word 'wicked' means 'life saver.' Literally. Because of the popular Stephen Schwartz show, Ms. Trbovich is continuing to make her mark in the arts, doing what she does best.

Laura Benanti discusses her favorite shows (including 'The Muppets Christmas Carol') and what to expect from her upcoming Sarasota performance: 'A fun, relaxed evening of stories and song that appeal to all ages.'
