BWW Reviews: Fantasies Come True on AVENUE Q

BWW Reviews: Fantasies Come True on AVENUE Q

by Leah Rocci — August 8, 2012
'AVENUE Q" opens the CATCO 2012-13 season with a delightful and satirical look at the struggles of coming into adulthood after college. But this is not the average coming of age story!...
BWW Reviews: BEST OF SHADOWBOX LIVE 2012 is a Columbus Best Bet

BWW Reviews: BEST OF SHADOWBOX LIVE 2012 is a Columbus Best Bet

by Lisa Norris — July 23, 2012
Approaching the 1 year anniversary of moving into their new Brewery District space, it seemed an appropriate time for Shadowbox live to roll out a calm, laidback revue of the past year. However, much like their new edgy warehouse space, the "Best of Shadowbox Live 2012" serves not to relax and refle...
BWW Reviews: Idina Menzel Makes Stunning Columbus Debut

BWW Reviews: Idina Menzel Makes Stunning Columbus Debut

by Lisa Norris — June 24, 2012
Idina Menzel marked her Columbus debut last night, with the Columbus Symphony's Picnic with the Pop's series at the new Bicentennial Pavilion. Opening to a crowd of over 7,000 people on a perfect summer night....
BWW Review: MEMPHIS ‘Tears Down the House’ at the Ohio Theatre

BWW Review: MEMPHIS ‘Tears Down the House’ at the Ohio Theatre

by Christina Mancuso — June 1, 2012
"Everyone want[ed] to be black" on Tuesday Night at the Ohio Theatre as MEMPHIS came to town and literally tore down the house. From its onset, MEMPHIS was clearly a liberating celebration in every sense of the word. Its jumping and jiving, soulful, high energy rock-n-roll, powerful singing, and e...
BWW Reviews: Getting Addicted is Easy at Shadowbox Live's REEFER MADNESS, Sundays Now

BWW Reviews: Getting Addicted is Easy at Shadowbox Live's REEFER MADNESS, Sundays Now through July 8, 2012

by Lisa Norris — April 30, 2012
Shadowbox Live presented the completely campy REEFER MADNESS again last night, and in Julie Klein's warped little director's brain, it was pure "mockumentary" delight. REEFER MADNESS is a wacky musical adaptation of the 1936 exploitive propaganda film by the same name that became a cult classic. ...
BWW Reviews: BILLY ELLIOT Electrifies the Palace Theatre

BWW Reviews: BILLY ELLIOT Electrifies the Palace Theatre

by Christina Mancuso — March 23, 2012
I was one of the lucky ones who had the chance to see Billy Elliot: The Musical on Broadway before it closed on January 8, 2012. Although this scaled-down NETworks version may lose some of its grandiose sets and sparkle, Billy Elliot still transmits enough electricity to power all of Columbus' Pala...
BWW Reviews: Shadowbox Live's RENT Delivers

BWW Reviews: Shadowbox Live's RENT Delivers

by Lisa Norris — March 12, 2012
When you take on an iconoclastic production such as Jonathan Larson's RENT, you either have a whole lot of talent in your back pocket, or you are just plain ludicrous. Fortunately for Shadowbox Live, it was a case of the former that resulted in a fantastic opportunity to see this incredible story ab...
BWW Review: Barber's ‘AHHHHHH......DAGIO’ Remains Masterful While New CSO Format

BWW Review: Barber's ‘AHHHHHH......DAGIO’ Remains Masterful While New CSO Format Falls Flat

by Christina Mancuso — October 24, 2011
Although acoustically favorable to the strings, the Southern Theatre hosted a new (and not improved) Columbus Symphony Orchestra format which fell flat on many levels....
BWW Reviews: Columbus Symphony 'Pops' with Fine Classics from Opera to Broadway

BWW Reviews: Columbus Symphony 'Pops' with Fine Classics from Opera to Broadway

by Christina Mancuso — October 17, 2011
The Columbus Symphony Orchestra kicked off its Pops series with 'Opera to Broadway', where Canadian Conductor, Jean-Marie Zeitouni, took the audience through a journey of popular music, from 19th Century opera to Broadway favorites, and back to operetta, merging all genres into one expressive, cohes...
BWW Reviews: Diana Ross Reigns Supreme in Concert Despite Lack of Intimacy

BWW Reviews: Diana Ross Reigns Supreme in Concert Despite Lack of Intimacy

by Christina Mancuso — September 28, 2011
Diana Ross was a well-oiled machine on Tuesday night at the Ohio Theatre, and her voice surely did not falter. Ms. Ross dazzled the Columbus audience with her style as well as her timeless classics, despite her lack of audience connection....
JERSEY BOYS Review:  'Oh, What a Night,' at the Ohio Theatre

JERSEY BOYS Review: 'Oh, What a Night,' at the Ohio Theatre

by Christina Mancuso — August 22, 2011
Swooning baby boomers flock to the Ohio Theatre on opening night to follow the private lives of four blue-collared dropouts from New Jersey on their rise to stardom. A stellar cast, provoking story, and familiar songs will have you cheering these boys on as they climb up the charts and into your he...
