Review: Moonbox Productions presents a splendid SWEENEY TODD: THE DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET
What did our critic think of Moonbox Productions' SWEENEY TODD: THE DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET at Arrow Street Arts?...
Review: FAT HAM is a bold, fresh re-imagining of Hamlet
What did our critic think of FAT HAM at the Calderwood Pavilion At Boston Center For The Arts?...
Review: ASSASSINS at The Lyric Stage Company Of Boston
What did our critic think of ASSASSINS at The Lyric Stage Company Of Boston?...
Review: COPENHAGEN At Berkshire Theatre Group
Michael Fray’s script is brilliant. He uses a delicate but superbly balanced mix of complex scientific dialogue related to Physics with general human behavior, and interpersonal dynamics. While there are ample opportunities for the non-scientific to give up based on theoretical and technical conte...
Review: POTUS At Speakeasy Stage is a Fast Paced Look At the Behind the Scenes of the White House
It’s well known that running this country as the President of the United States isn’t a one-man job. It takes an entire team of people to run this country, and many of those folks behind the scenes are women. However, due to the fears of some citizens, we have yet to have a woman serve as the Pr...
Review: With POTUS, SpeakEasy Stage Company Finds the Laughs in Politics
What did our critic think of POTUS: OR, BEHIND EVERY GREAT DUMBASS ARE SEVEN WOMEN TRYING TO KEEP HIM ALIVE at Roberts Theatre, Calderwood Pavilion At Boston Center For The Arts?...
Review: With PRAYER FOR THE FRENCH REPUBLIC Boston Has its First Must-See New Play of The Fall Season
What did our critic think of PRAYER FOR THE FRENCH REPUBLIC at The Huntington Theatre? The Joshua Harmon play “Prayer for the French Republic” – now being given a superbly rendered production by the Huntington – raises questions that have faced the Jewish people for generations, chief among ...
Review: THE HALF-GOD OF RAINFALL is a Compelling Blend of Myth and Reality
What did our critic think of THE HALF-GOD OF RAINFALL at The Loeb Drama Center?...
Review: ON CEDAR STREET at Berkshire Theatre Group
Berkshire Audiences are fortunate that we often have opportunities to experience world premiere presentations like ON CEDAR STREET. While it is difficult to say what the future may hold for the new musical, it is safe to say that the production which continues on the Larry Vaber stage at Berkshire T...
Review: THE DING DONGS Are Not Selling Avon
Despite its somewhat whimsical title, playwright Brenda Withers has crafted a taut story that is more dramatic cat-and-mouse game than comedic Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner? Director Rebecca Bradshaw’s previous experience mounting the play at the Kitchen Theatre Company with this same trio of act...
Review: GOLDA'S BALCONY at Shakespeare & Company
Annette Miller is outstanding. She takes the audience on a fascinating and detailed journey in which she seamlessly shifts between aspects of Meir’s character ranging from nurturing caregiver to the “Iron Lady” of Israeli Politics....
Review: FAITH HEALER at Barrington Stage Company
Friel harnesses the power of story telling common to both that culture and contemporary theater to weave a tightly woven tapestry with such depth, richness, and color it could easily be compared to the work of the great impressionist painters. Under Boyd’s direction, Innvar, Dold, and Egolf show t...
Review: FENCES at Shakespeare & Company
Audience members quickly engage with the characters before them virtually free of any doubt or distraction. We become deeply engaged and by the time real conflict sets in during act two, we feel both for them, and with them. August Wilson’s FENCES is considered a landmark work of American theatre ...
Review: BLUES FOR AN ALABAMA SKY at Barrington Stage Company
While I won’t go so far as to say this is a must-see, it is most certainly one that should be seen. BLUES FOR AN ALABAMA SKY represents yet another first-rate production for the award-winning theatre in downtown Pittsfield and those involved in bringing it forward for Berkshire arts enthusiasts to...
Review: OFF PEAK at Great Barrington Public Theater
Berkshire audiences fortunate, and wise enough to wind their way over the river and through the woods to the Daniel Arts Center McConnel Theater (on the campus of Bard College in Great Barrington) to experience Great Barrington Public Theater’s production of OFF PEAK before it closes July 23 are s...
Review: THE SOUND OF MUSIC Fills the Air at North Shore Music Theatre
What did our critic think of THE SOUND OF MUSIC at North Shore Music Theatre, Beverly, MA?...
Review: Gloucester Stage Serves Up a Savory STEW
Director Rosalind Bevan skillfully blends all the ingredients in this Boston premiere of Zora Howard’s 2021 Pulitzer Prize Finalist for Drama.
...
Review: MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET at Berkshire Theatre Group
Although one may learn some new tidbits about the artists, it really isn’t the thinnish volume of connective tissue incorporated between the 22 musical numbers, but those very Rock-a-Billy songs themselves, that offer the primary reason to see MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET....
Review: TINY FATHER at Barrington Stage Company
Overall, the presentation is synergistic as well as effective and we become absorbed in what starts out with an examination of the humorous side of reality and ends with the sense and sensibilities many face in this thing we call life....
Review: PHOTOGRAPH 51 at Berkshire Theatre Group
The subject matter, like Rosalind, does not allow for jokes. As the dialogue confirms, the world of science can be a rather lonely place. The ensemble cast is professional, polished, and well balanced....
Review: CABARET at Barrington Stage Company
The season opening CABARET on the Boyd-Quinson Stage, should leave little doubt that Alan Paul doesn’t play around; intends to carry on in the style and tradition that Berkshire audiences have come to both anticipate, and appreciate; and Julie’s words were justified....
Review: JAGGED LITTLE PILL rocks out at Citizens Bank Opera House
What did our critic think of JAGGED LITTLE PILL at Citizens Bank Opera House?...
Review: BEAUTIFUL - THE CAROLE KING MUSICAL is exhilarating at North Shore Music Theatre, Beverly, MA
What did our critic think of BEAUTIFUL - THE CAROLE KING MUSICAL at North Shore Music Theatre, Beverly, MA?...
Review: A.R.T.'s EVITA is Stirring and Gloriously Sung
What did our critic think of American Repertory Theater's EVITA? There is little mystery to be found in the musical “Evita.” After all, it begins and ends with the death of its title character, Eva Perón....
