BWW Review: Raise a Glass High to Monomoy's JOHNNY ON A SPOT
Have you ever been high on what life is and all it throws at you - to become charged by the excitement and wonder of it all, followed by the mayhem, the confusion and the constant need to keep up with the bundles of mess that almost seem too perfectly destined to fall right in your lap? Have you eve
BWW Review: A True King Rises with KING LEAR at Elements Theatre
The truth be told, I have neither read nor seen performed Shakespeare's King Lear, and was therefore as unfamiliar with the plot and its characters as basically anyone can possibly be; I suppose it wasn't mandatory reading when I went to school, for what reason I cannot possibly imagine.

BWW Review: All the World's a Stage in CABARET at the Cape Playhouse
This is the wonder of Kander and Ebb's masterpiece that is Cabaret, now brought to the Cape Playhouse in what can only be described, in the words of Fraulein Bowles, as 'perfectly marvelous,' although even that would be an understatement for such a show as this beautiful theater in the heart of Denn

BWW Review: The Phenomenal Force of THE FANTASTICKS at Monomoy Theatre
Arriving on the Monomoy stage under the direction of Alan Rust, The Fantasticks is the first production of this show I have seen, and I believe it to be the most utterly captivating production that has been on this theater's - rather any I have seen this summer - stage in quite some time.
BWW Review: A Riveting MAY QUEEN Arrives at the Cape Playhouse
