Review: THE OLD MAID / QUEEN MARY / MARTHA GRAHAM at Spoleto

Review: THE OLD MAID / QUEEN MARY / MARTHA GRAHAM at Spoleto

by Perry Tannenbaum · June 3, 2026

Scottish Ballet's MARY, QUEEN OF SCOTS is likely to stand as the most spectacular triumph at Spoleto Festival USA 2026, and festival founder Gian Carlo Menotti's 1939 radio opera, THE OLD MAID AND THE THIEF, will probably remain the best theatre.…

Review: THE NOTEBOOK THE MUSICAL at Belk Theater

Review: THE NOTEBOOK THE MUSICAL at Belk Theater

by Perry Tannenbaum · May 22, 2026

THE NOTEBOOK The Musical was a charming chamber piece when I first read Bekah Brunstetter's adaptation of Nicholas Sparks' breakout bestseller. But the touring version is now playing to bigger houses than either its original Chicago premiere or its New York engagement. With Broadway-extravaganza pre…

Review: A RAISIN IN THE SUN at Lee St. Theatre

by Vickie Evans · April 28, 2026

'A Raisin In The Sun', performed at Lee St. Theatre, consisted of a phenomenal cast who brought to life the timeless story, written by Lorraine Hansberry in 1959, of a middle-class family's struggles and dreams in 1950s Chicago and their steps to obtain a better life.…

Review: THE FLICK at Theatre Charlotte

Review: THE FLICK at Theatre Charlotte

by Perry Tannenbaum · February 20, 2026

Kyle J. Britt's high-concept presentation of Annie Baker's Pulitzer Prize-winning play was hit-and-miss at the old Queens Road barn, crash-burning frequently on audibility and unfortunate sightlines. Prospects are better for fuller enjoyment at The Independent Picture House, where the run resumes th…

Review: THE OUTSIDERS at Belk Theater

Review: THE OUTSIDERS at Belk Theater

by Perry Tannenbaum · February 9, 2026

Musically and dramatically, THE OUTSIDERS plays like a top-notch chamber version of WEST SIDE STORY: less-heated animosities between the gangs, no symphonic aspirations to the music, and no hormones - none of these Greaser dudes has a girl! But when the music, the jagged choreography, and the specia…

Review: THE WINTER'S TALE at Davidson Community Players

by Perry Tannenbaum · February 3, 2026
