Review: Disney's FROZEN at Hippodrome Theatre
What did our critic think of FROZEN at Hippodrome Theatre?
Review: SIX THE MUSICAL at The Hippodrome
Get ready to rock with SIX THE MUSICAL - a high-octane, award-winning stage sensation, telling the tale of the wives of Henry VIII in a queenly concert experience.
Tightened and Thrilling HAMLET at Chesapeake Shakespeare Company
I think the minimalism and starkness is intended to be clarifying; we are meant to be focused on the hearts of the various intertwined stories Shakespeare presents, and perhaps less distracted by other things going on at the very large periphery the playwright has laid out.
Review: A Compleat HADESTOWN at Hippodrome Theatre
So, by virtue of all of these elements this show is compleat in the senses fostered by the archaic spelling of the word, what Webster's renders as 'having all the necessary or desired elements or skills.
Review: TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD at Hippodrome Theatre
What did our critic think of TO KILL A MOCKING BIRD at Hippodrome Theatre? Chances are, if you're a product of the American education system, you read Harper Lee's 1960 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, in high school or college.
Review: THE SOUND INSIDE Thrills and Bemuses at Everyman Theatre
The Sound Inside, by Adam Rapp, now gracing the boards at Baltimore's Everyman Theatre, is one of those all-too-rare plays that just bowls you over, even if, afterwards, you’re not quite sure where you’ve been during its bemusing 90 minutes.
Review: FPCT's DEAD MAN'S CELL PHONE Only Rings Softly
The play doesn’t do either superficiality or depth well.
Review: DON'T BOTHER ME, I CAN'T COPE at Bmore Broadway Live
What did our critic think of DON'T BOTHER ME, I CAN'T COPE at Bmore Broadway Live? Dance and Bmore, one of the newer players on the Baltimore theatre scene, has launched its inaugural program, Bmore Broadway Live, with a production of Vinette Carroll's award winning musical, Don't Bother Me, I Can't
Review: Strange But Relatable JUMP at Everyman Theatre
Families, sisterly conflicts, alienation from parents, suicidal tendencies, dissociation, nostalgia for childhood mingled with mature reevaluation of it: all these themes and tropes are universal.
Review: HURRICANE DIANE at Iron Crow
What did our critic think of THEATRE REVIEW: HURRICANE DIANE at Iron Crow?
Review: RIDE THE CYCLONE At Arena Stage
Go See It! Join the enthralled cult! It’s for anyone who was ever a theater or choir kid.
Incredible Songs and Ingenious Book Propel Audience Bliss With JAGGED LITTLE PILL at Hippodrome
We do get a sort of happy ending, but not with a gratifying round of absolution for everyone.
Review: A CHRISTMAS CAROL AT CHESAPEAKE SHAKESPEARE COMPANY at Chesapeake Shakespeare Company
Chesapeake Shakespeare Company is an absolute treasure
Review: TINA, THE TINA TURNER MUSICAL at The Hippodrome
Phrases of praise like ‘tour de force’ and ‘vocal tsunami’ get bandied about so often that they can begin to lose their impact.
Review: Uninhibited AIN'T NO MO' at Baltimore Center Stage
As the director says, this is a 'Black play that speaks to Black people and talks about Black shit.
Review: Happenstance Theater's POCKET MOXIE at Theater Project
In a tribute to Vaudeville, Happenstance Theater presents POCKET MOXIE.
Handsome Production, Tedious Script: THE LION IN WINTER at Everyman Theatre
You not only have to have the talent to do the technical side of costume drama well, and have actors who can emote convincingly and then (in this case) reverse gears convincingly, and then reverse gears again as many times as the script calls for.
Review: HOLIDAY at Washington's Arena Stage: Deeply Flawed Show, Flawless Performance
They sure don't write them like Holiday anymore.
A Pretty-Much Perfect TWELFTH NIGHT at Chesapeake Shakespeare Company
There’s so much to like in Chesapeake Shakespeare Company’s current revival of Twelfth Night, a production that succeeds in big things and small, that I can’t imagine any spectator walking away unsatisfied.
Review: DINNER AND CAKE at Everyman Theatre
Funny, sharp, elegant and engaging--DINNER AND CAKE serves up an evening of original and uniquely entertaining theater.
Good Times, Fun, and Some Laughs: SWEET CHARITY at Cockpit In Court
Dated and flawed as I consider it, Sweet Charity is something of a landmark in the world of the American musical, and this rendition is admirable.
Review: Stunning, Well-Made HOUSE OF THE NEGRO INSANE at Contemporary American Theater Festival
A well-made, stunning play, about racist mental hospital practices in the not very long-distant past, with four strongly-imagined characters and an explosive ending.
Review: A Love Story, a Critique, a Cry of Despair: SHEEPDOG at Contemporary American Theater Festival
In the end, it is largely the combination of sensitively-selected detail and poetic diction on the one hand, and the big-picture view of various interlocked social problems that makes the show so extraordinary.
Review: BABEL At Contemporary American Theater Festival Probes the Dilemmas That Could Be Presented By Eugenics
Babel, which invites us to contemplate a world, apparently in the near future, in which the human genome is so well understood that every person’s – and fetus’s – potential, including the potential for antisocial behavior – is determinable, and if a child cannot be “certified” while in
