Review: HARVEY at Castle Craig Players
On Saturday, May 2nd, I had the pleasure of seeing another first-rate production put on by the Castle Craig Players at the Almira F. Stephan Memorial Playhouse in Meriden, CT. It is always nice to see a high quality show I was not previously familiar with. HARVEY, by Mary Chase, has somehow eluded m...

Review: PRIMARY TRUST at Westport Country Playhouse

Review: THE WEDDING SINGER at Warner Theatre
On Friday, April 17th, I had the pleasure of seeing a phenomenal show at the Warner (specifically the Nancy Marine Studio Theatre) in Torrington, CT, THE WEDDING SINGER, based on the 1998 movie that is set in 1985. The book for this stage adaptation of the film written by Chris Herlihy is written by...
Review: LAUGHTER ON THE 23RD FLOOR at Sherman Players

Review: GOD OF CARNAGE at Town Players Of Newtown
At the end of the day, the cast is what made God of Carnage so successful and funny, and praise should be given towards the whole cast for their performances and to Terry Sagedy, who brought it all together....
Review: THE GIN GAME at Community Theatre At Woodbury
A typical pitfall of talking plays is that the modern audience may struggle to focus if there is no action to go along with the talking, but a smart production can find ways to keep an audience engaged. And CTAW’s production of The Gin Game was very smart indeed. The moments of levity between the ...
Review: SORDID LIVES at Connecticut Theatre Company
The variety of conflicts and the hyper-stylized character tropes employed in Sordid Lives is why it works as a comedy and, under the direction of Duane Campbell, the Connecticut Theatre Company’s production of Sordid Lives honored that and delivered a raucous evening at the theater....

Review: ONE MAN, TWO GUVNERS at Town Players Of New Canaan
There’s something wonderfully nuts about The Town Players of New Canaan taking on One Man, Two Guvnors, Richard Bean’s 2011 hit based on The Servant of Two Masters by Carlo Goldoni. The original, written in 1743, is a classic commedia dell’arte comedy built on disguises, twins, and glorious ch...
Review: ASSASSINS at Brookfield Theatre
What did our critic think of ASSASSINS at Brookfield Theatre?...
Review: WHAT THE DICKENS at TheatreWorks New Milford
If I had a nickel for every time that I’ve reviewed the same show, I’d have 2 nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but I’m surprised that it took so long in my reviewing history to happen. It shouldn’t be a surprise, however, that in both cases, they are to review Christmas productions. For the fir...
Review: MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET at Connecticut Theatre Company
Cozy, cute, and full of Christmas cheer. That’s what you get with Miracle on 34th Street. That was abound and aplenty at the Connecticut Theatre Company’s production of the motion picture classic! CTC’s production of Miracle on 34th Street kept the joy of the season at the heart of this produc...
Review: WRECK THE HALLS at Sherman Players
Holiday traditions are sweet, but sometimes the stress of the holidays outweighs the joys. That's where Wreck the Halls comes in: It points out the pain of the holidays and is committed to making you laugh. And this raucous production of Wreck the Halls had the audience rolling!...
Review: CONSCIENCE at Westport Community Theatre
What did our critic think of CONSCIENCE at Westport Community Theatre?...
Review: ANNIE at Fairfield Center Stage

Review: MARY POPPINS at Broadway On Main Theatre Company
