The latest reviews and critic recommendations from Boston.
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
What did our critic think of THE HALF-GOD OF RAINFALL at The Loeb Drama Center?
Berkshire Audiences are fortunate that we often have opportunities to experience world premiere presentations like ON CEDAR STREET.
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
Annette Miller is outstanding.
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.
Audience members quickly engage with the characters before them virtually free of any doubt or distraction.
While I won’t go so far as to say this is a must-see, it is most certainly one that should be seen.
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
What did our critic think of THE SOUND OF MUSIC at North Shore Music Theatre, Beverly, MA?
Director Rosalind Bevan skillfully blends all the ingredients in this Boston premiere of Zora Howard’s 2021 Pulitzer Prize Finalist for Drama.
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.
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.
The subject matter, like Rosalind, does not allow for jokes.
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.
What did our critic think of JAGGED LITTLE PILL at Citizens Bank Opera House?
What did our critic think of BEAUTIFUL - THE CAROLE KING MUSICAL at North Shore Music Theatre, Beverly, MA?
What did our critic think of American Repertory Theater's EVITA? There is little mystery to be found in the musical “Evita.
What did our critic think of ANGELS IN AMERICA, PART I: MILLENNIUM APPROACHES at Central Square Theater in Cambridge, MA?
What did our critic think of CHITA: THE RHYTHM OF MY LIFE WITH SPECIAL GUEST, BROADWAY FAVORITE GEORGE DVORSKY at North Shore Music Theatre, Beverly, MA?
From vaudeville to burlesque, Cape Cod Theatre Company’s GYPSY takes audiences on a musical journey through the life of Gypsy Rose Lee.
The Falmouth Theatre Guild's production of 'Something Rotten' is a riotous and energetic musical comedy that offers a hilarious peek into the Elizabethan era.
What did our critic think of BAREFOOT IN THE PARK at Cotuit Center For The Arts? This is one of dyed-in-the-wool New Yorker Neil Simon's tongue-in-cheek looks at life in mid-century Manhattan.
Every single person on this planet has their own story to tell.
