BWW Review: Rodgers & Hammerstein's CINDERELLA Performs at The Landmark Theatre
by Natasha Ashley - February 14, 2019
No doubt you will see tiaras, beautiful ball gowns, slippers made of glass, pumpkins, a Prince, and a clock striking midnight in the current touring production of Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella. Yes, the modern production keeps all those familiar things from the fairytale and the original 1957 musical starring Julie Andrews intact. However, this production - like the most recent Broadway revival on which it is based - features a new book by Douglas Carter Beane (2013 adaptation). He gives the audience new characters and a more sympathetic stepsister. He also provides the Prince with a story/personality and grants Cinderella the power to decide her own destiny. Put succinctly, there are many socio-political undertones within the story and the characters that inhabit it.

BWW Review: CHICAGO at Rochester Broadway Theatre Leauge
by Colin Fleming-Stumpf - February 06, 2019
If you see steam rising out of the top of the Auditorium Theatre over the next few days, or if East Main Street feels just a little bit hotter than usual, it's because Chicago, Broadway's longest running American musical--and certainly its sultriest-- is in town. And while you may come for the fishnets, you'll stay for the passion and intrigue that this staple of Broadway always delivers, from the opening song to the final curtain call.
