The latest reviews and critic recommendations from Cincinnati.
With the combination of great direction by Joe Bertucci and an excellent execution by the rest of the team, The Carnegie’s production of Hello, Dolly! is a fantastic example of how a Golden Age musical should be presented through a local company.
With stunning design elements, a highly professional cast, and an engaging plot, Beetlejuice is very worthy of its nearly sold-out run at the Aronoff Center in Cincinnati, OH.
A Magical Cirque Christmas came to Cincinnati, OH for a night of jaw-dropping spectacle, pure talent, and holiday cheer.

The team at Cincinnati Shakespeare Company knows how to produce a successful play from all standpoints.
The Children’s Theatre of Cincinnati’s production of The SpongeBob Musical: Youth Edition makes a splash using its vast resources to create striking visuals and cast performers who made the zany roles their own in the best way.
A love story at its core, director Bridget Leak uses a great deal of nuance to form the connection of its two characters as they navigate the slow burn of attraction, grief, and life itself.
Trouble in Mind made its Broadway premiere in 2021, 66 years after it was produced off-Broadway at Greenwich Mews Theatre.
Moulin Rouge! is based on the 2001 Baz Luhrmann film of the same name and originally starred Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman.
From the opening of a quirky theatre etiquette lesson from the monkey, to the city-specific references of Skyline Chili, to the dance party curtain call reprise of 'I Like to Move It, Move It', Madagascar the Musical provided the audience with countless zany and laughable moments.
This production of The Jungle Book is visually beautiful and engaging, and appeals to audiences of all ages.

What did our critic think of TINA: THE TINA TURNER MUSICAL at The Aronoff Center?
What did our critic think of THE BAND'S VISIT at The Aronoff Center?
Lincoln Center Theater has a vast and now legendary history of producing lavish revivals of some of the most amazing golden age musicals.
Almost every season there is a classic, crowd-pleasing favorite where the audience sighs with relief and nostalgia at the first measure the orchestra plays.
'Oh Boy!' BUDDY: THE BUDDY HOLLY STORY is rockin' and rollin' now through Feb.
If you have ever taken a piano lesson or tried to learn any kind of instrument, Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park's '2 Pianos, 4 Hands' will bring back all the nostalgia of those hours spent begrudgingly practicing and praying that you'll magically know how to play those certain cords if you stare at
15 years after the movie premiered, Mean Girls is still making 'Fetch' happen, this time onstage.
I'll be the first to admit that when I read the show blurb for Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park's 'Alias Grace,' I was a little anxious and hesitant about seeing it.
