The latest reviews and critic recommendations from Connecticut.
Fairfield County native, and winner of season one of "The Voice," Javier Colon, will be starring as one of Bridgeport's favorite sons this summer when he portrays the Greatest Showman on Earth in the musical Barnum at the Fairfield Museum Commons the weekend of June 27 - 29.
Dominique Morisseau's Skeleton Crew, the third of her Detroit trilogy of plays, opened at the Westport Country Playhouse.
What happens if you take the upbeat and danceable pop music of a Swedish supergroup, place it in a beautiful sun-drenched setting, add in a dash of comedy, some athletic dancing, and a pinch of bright colors, and wrap it all in a simple, but entertaining, story? You get MAMMA MIA!, the hit musical f
What starts off as a "he said, she said" recounting of what appears to be a simple hookup between two Princeton freshmen turns into something more penetrating and harrowing in playwright Anna Ziegler's powerful and jarring "Actually," which is now running at Hartford's Theaterworks through June 22.
On Friday, June 7, I had the pleasure of seeing ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST at the Ridgefield Theater Barn in Ridgefield, CT.
What starts off as a 'he said, she said' recounting of what appears to be a simple hookup between two Princeton freshmen turns into something more penetrating and harrowing in playwright Anna Ziegler's powerful and jarring 'Actually,' which is now running at Hartford's Theaterworks through June 22.
With an excellent cast, THE 25th ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE is highly entertaining, at ACT of Connecticut, in Ridgefield, CT.
Connecticut Theatre Company's take on the James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim's musical presents a charming, intimate and funny production of an already beloved musical.
It never ceases to amaze me how prolific and creative the theatrical community is here in Connecticut.
I LOVE YOU, YOU'RE PERFECT, NOW CHANGE is an excellent show that takes a comedic look at male/female dynamics among singles and among married people.
World premiere musicals don't come around every day, so when given the opportunity to be the first patrons to experience the thrill of a new show, I will always recommend you jump at that chance.
I had the pleasure of catching Downtown Cabaret Theatre's production of THE FULL MONTY before they closed on May 19th.
I had the pleasure of seeing Neil Simon's THE DINNER PARTY at the High Plains Community Center presented by The Orange Players.
A lot can happen in 15 years.
There are some musicals that simply epitomize the genre.
LEND ME A TENOR is brilliantly performed by The Castle Craig Players! I highly recommend this comedy that features a very talented cast!
I believe that I can say with confidence that Fairfield Center Stage puts THE SECRET GARDEN on in such a manner that Broadway would never be able to compete with! This show is a brilliant continuation of Fairfield Center Stage's consistent remarkable ability to bring familiar things to an audience
Young meets old in Trying, a moving play about an intergenerational working relationship that grows into friendship in 1967.
What makes someone a true artist? Does it have to do with skill? Passion? A unique eye? Or is it about letting go of earthly things and embracing the traditions set forth by generations of artists before them? And what happens when the path to artistic enlightenment leads to a deep-seated conflict w
On Sunday, April 28, I had the pleasure of seeing THE WAFFLE HOUSE FIVE as put on by Pantochino Productions at the MAC in Milford, CT.
On Saturday, April 27, I had the pleasure of seeing SNOW WHITE at the Downtown Cabaret Children's Theatre in Bridgeport, CT.
Summer 1993 was an eventful year for this reviewer.
On Friday, April 5, I had the pleasure of seeing a phenomenally performed comedy about comedy! As expected, the Connecticut Cabaret Theatre in Berlin, CT has delivered another high quality show, THE COMPLETE HISTORY OF COMEDY (ABRIDGED) by Reed Martin and Austin Tichenor.
Sometimes the best cure for a sour mood or a gray day is a bit of nonsense.
Don't let Greek history and mythology intimidate you.
