Review: BAT OUT OF HELL: THE MUSICAL at Palace Theatre


by Paul Batterson - April 21, 2026

That’s both the draw and the danger of Jim Steinman’s music. While it comes with a built-in 50-and-over audience, jukebox musicals run the danger of relying on nostalgia, being underperformed by its actors, and/or having a paper thin plot. BAT OUT OF HELL avoided two of those three pitfalls. As ...

Review: FOR THE LOVE OF DANCE at Davidson Theatre At The Riffe Center Theatres


by Steve Sucato - April 10, 2026

Review: A‑Maize‑ing Fun: SHUCKED Pops with Heart and Humor at the Ohio Theatre


by Christina Mancuso - April 08, 2026

Originally conceived as an adaptation of the long‑running TV variety show Hee Haw, Shucked popped into the Ohio Theatre on Tuesday night packed with deliciously corny puns, ear-to-ear smiles, and rapid‑fire one‑liners. What begins as a wink‑and‑nod celebration of pun‑loving humor quickly...

Review: THE OUTSIDERS: A NEW MUSICAL at Ohio Theatre


by Paul Batterson - March 18, 2026

Review: JAJA'S AFRICAN HAIR BRAIDING at The Contemporary Theatre Of Ohio


by Paul Batterson - March 10, 2026

Whether it is Floyd’s Barber Shop in THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW, Truvy’s Beauty Salon in STEEL MAGNOLIAS or even the Suburban Salon in EDWARD SCISSORHANDS, hair care is the center of society. Gossip is distributed like shampoo, lies are covered up like hair dye, and life’s tangled knots are cut aw...

Review: COLUMBUS CHILDREN'S THEATRE'S CABARET at Riffe Center


by Paul Batterson - February 23, 2026

In the Columbus Children’s Theatre production of CABARET, nothing is what it appears to be. A line can be repeated but cast a completely different meaning and things that are commonplace in the first act take on a darker symbolic meaning by the second....
