BWW Review: THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME at Downtown Cabaret Theatre

BWW Review: THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME at Downtown Cabaret Theatre

by Sean Fallon — September 24, 2017

A spectacular performance with first rate acting, singing, directing, choreography, and lighting brings a classic story to the stage, a story that touches on the equal humanity of all people, and the call to recognize the inherent worth and dignity of every one of God's children, demonstrating that

BWW Review: AVENUE Q at Playhouse On Park

BWW Review: AVENUE Q at Playhouse On Park

by Joseph Harrison — September 16, 2017

As a young child, one of my favorite things to do was sit in front of the television, probably with a bowl of sugary cereal, and see what my friends who lived on Sesame Street were learning (and teaching me) that day.

BWW Review: TEA AT FIVE at Connecticut Cabaret Theatre

BWW Review: TEA AT FIVE at Connecticut Cabaret Theatre

by Sean Fallon — August 26, 2017

The life of Katherine Hepburn is brilliantly presented in a one woman show that captivates the audience making us feel as if we are in the presence of the real Katherine Hepburn, both in the first act set in 1938 and in the second act set in 1983.

BWW Review: RAGING SKILLET at TheaterWorks

BWW Review: RAGING SKILLET at TheaterWorks

by Joseph Harrison — July 30, 2017

What do you get when you take one part book launch/cooking demonstration, add a heaping helping of auto-biographical comedy, mix in a portion of supernatural Jewish mother guilt and a strong dose of irreverence? In TheaterWorks' world premiere production of Jacques Lamarre's RAGING SKILLET, this rec

BWW Review: SPAMALOT at Castle Craig Players

BWW Review: SPAMALOT at Castle Craig Players

by Sean Fallon — July 29, 2017

The Castle Craig Players bring Monty Python's classic farce to the stage in a brilliantly comedic portrayal of Arthur, King of The Britons, and his Knights of the Round Table's adventures in trying to find the Holy Grail, a quest loaded with farcical encounters and some great musical numbers.

BWW Review: 1776 at Connecticut Repertory Theatre

BWW Review: 1776 at Connecticut Repertory Theatre

by Joseph Harrison — June 3, 2017

It is a staple image of American History - one that every American child learns about in school and one that comes to mind for many as the barbecues fire up and fireworks are prepared for Independence Day on the Fourth of July.

BWW Review: HEARTBREAK HOUSE at Hartford Stage

by Joseph Harrison — May 21, 2017

From the very moment audiences enter the theater at Hartford Stage for its final production of the 2016-17 season, George Bernard Shaw's HEARTBREAK HOUSE, it is immediately apparent the evening is going to be quite unique.
