Review: BEETLEJUICE at Rochester Broadway Theatre League
by Colin Fleming-Stumpf - February 16, 2023
What did our critic think of BEETLEJUICE at Rochester Broadway Theatre League? If you're a fan of late 80's pop culture, the occult, or musicals with a decidedly heavy metal Halloween-meets-'A Chorus Line' aesthetic, than the Rochester Broadway Theatre League has got the show for you. 'Beetlejuice', the musical based on Tim Burton's 1988 cult classic film, is currently playing at the Auditorium Theatre until February 19th.

by BWW News Desk - February 10, 2023
For theaters across the country, the post-pandemic time has brought critical challenges.

Review: WOODY SEZ at Geva Theatre
by Colin Fleming-Stumpf - February 09, 2023
What did our critic think of WOODY SEZ at Geva Theatre? With rare exceptions, there probably aren't many theatregoers of my generation (Millennial) or younger who have a passing familiarity with the life and legacy of Woody Guthrie beyond 'This Land is Your Land.' I certainly didn't before heading to Geva Theatre to catch a performance of 'Woody Sez', the biographical story of Woody Guthrie written by David M. Lutken, Nick Corley, Darcie Deaville, Helen Jean Russell, and Andy Teirstein. But after leaving Geva that night, it was abundantly clear that this man's story is one everyone should know, because there likely never lived another American so of-the-people as Woody Guthrie.

by Noah Casner - February 03, 2023
From the moment Mandy Patinkin stepped on stage, it was clear that this show was going to be something incredibly special.

Review: AIN'T MISBEHAVIN' at Geva Theatre
by Colin Fleming-Stumpf - January 25, 2023
What did our critic think of AIN'T MISBEHAVIN' at Geva Theatre? It's curious that 'Ain't Misbehavin'' feels like such a perfect show for a Rochester audience, given that Fats Waller has no apparent Rochester connection; he was born in New York City, died in Kansas City, and spent the bulk of his short life entertaining audiences across the U.S and abroad.
