Review: STRAIGHT NO CHASER'S HOLIDAY ROAD at Palace Theatre


by Paul Batterson - December 04, 2025

Straight No Chaser has been a holiday tradition with many repeat attenders because their show doesn’t easily fit into a preset gift box. They are either a comedy group that harmonizes extremely well or an a cappella group that thrives because it doesn’t take itself too seriously. If you take away ei...

Review: SOME LIKE IT HOT at Ohio Theatre


by Paul Batterson - November 20, 2025

At first glance, SOME LIKE IT HOT might seem to fall into the “If it’s not broken, don’t try to fix it” category of entertainment. The traveling musical production runs Nov. 18-23 at the Ohio Theatre (39 E. State Street in downtown Columbus)....

Review: THE ROOMMATE at The Contemporary Theatre Of Ohio


by Paul Batterson - November 11, 2025

Review: PAUL MCCARTNEY'S GOT BACK TOUR at Nationwide Arena

You might expect the crowd would come from the same template of older fans trying to surf on a wave of 1960s nostalgia. And there were some of those. However, there were also teens, college students, and members ...

Review: THE WITCH OF NOVEMBER at Abbey Theater Of Dublin


by Paul Batterson - November 10, 2025

Review: STEVE HACKETT'S GENESIS GREATS, LAMB HIGHLIGHTS & SOLO WORKS TOUR at Southern Theatre


by Paul Batterson - November 05, 2025

Review: SOWETO GOSPEL CHOIR'S PEACE TOUR at Southern Theatre


by Paul Batterson - October 31, 2025

In the end, the choir’s music prevailed over any language barrier. The cavalcade of different voices kept the mostly full theatre dancing, raising their arms in agreement, and being moved by the power of things they couldn’t understand....

Review: MUMFORD & SONS' RUSHMERE TOUR at Nationwide Arena
