BWW Reviews: SMOKEY JOE'S CAFE, a Pleasant Summer Escape at Cain Park
by Roy Berko - June 23, 2013
A musical review, by the very nature of its structure, is usually not of great interest to those theatre-goers who want a story line or an over-riding theme. Someone attends a musical review because there is a tuneful style or type of music that you like or there are some singers performing who you want to hear.

by Roy Berko - June 15, 2013
MEDEA, a masterpiece example of classical tragedy, is one of the Western world's greatest plays. It is a daunting undertaking.

It's worth going just to see this amazing actress spin her maniacal magic.

Nick Blaemire, Adrienne Warren and More Headline BC/EFA Concert THE WHO'S TOMMY, 7/29
by BWW News Desk - May 29, 2013
When 18-year old Orange High School senior Miles Sternfeld began preparing for his senior project, he knew exactly what he wanted to do: bring Broadway to Cleveland. And that's exactly what he's done. With the help of mentor, Sean Szaller (who also serves as the production's musical director), Sternfeld set out to produce a 1-night only benefit performance of "The Who's Tommy" which, coincidentally, was the first full blown musical he was in as a child. Miles was also very clear that he wanted all proceeds from this production to benefit Broadway Cares - and Joe Norton at BC/EFA was happy to jump on board to offer his support.
