Review: PIPPIN at Short North Stage

Review: PIPPIN at Short North Stage

by Paul Batterson · August 10, 2026

What did our critic think of PIPPIN at Short North Stage? Production director Edward Carignan said PIPPIN is a “legacy” show – a performance that can be pulled out of the vault, dusted off, and re-released every five years or so. SNS last did this Stephen Schwartz musical (a personal favorite …

Review: AC/DC POWER UP TOUR at Ohio Stadium

Review: AC/DC POWER UP TOUR at Ohio Stadium

by Paul Batterson · July 17, 2026

Perhaps the biggest change was the audience. In the 1980s, AC/DC was the rebellious band parents warned their children about. Now, the band is the spectacle parents bring their children to experience. It was a little unnerving to hear a mother asking, “Timmy, would you like a cookie?” before the…

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

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 …
