BWW Review: SMART PEOPLE in New Haven

BWW Review: ASSASSINS at Yale Repertory Theatre
The American Dream. Disillusionment. Political, and personal alienation. The right to be happy. All of these concepts come to vivid life on stage in Yale Rep's latest production of Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman's dark, but brilliant musical ASSASSINS....
BWW Review: SPRING AWAKENING at Downtown Cabaret Theatre
Downtown Cabaret Theatre in Bridgeport provides a mature audience with a powerful and thought provoking performance of Spring Awakening, a well performed musical that will generate emotion and meaningful discussion....
BWW Review: CHAPATTI at Square One Theatre Company
Chapatti, written by Irish playwright Christian O'Reilly, fills the house with enough comedy, drama, romance, darkness, and light that patrons will leave knowing that they have enjoyed a bold and life-affirming performance....
BWW Review: CLOUD 9 at Hartford Stage
Sexual politics, liberation and the cost it weighs on those seeking it (and from whom they are seeking it from), and the fluidity of expression (both in gender and in sexuality) are all on display at Hartford Stage in its latest production of Caryl Churchill's CLOUD 9....
BWW Review: RUMORS at Ridgefield Theater Barn
Over-the-top characters have deliberately comical interactions at a house party in which the host has shot himself earlier in the evening, before the guests arrived. An excellent cast and compelling storyline captivate the audience in this Neil Simon farce....
BWW Review: NAPOLI, BROOKLYN at Long Wharf
A taste of Italian life via Brooklyn....
BWW Review: A MOON FOR THE MISBEGOTTEN at Playhouse On Park
'There is no present or future-only the past happening over and over again - now." These words from Eugene O'Neill's A MOON FOR THE MISBEGOTTEN illustrate so poignantly the emotions on display on stage at Playhouse on Park in their current production of the O'Neill classic. Whether the past being re...
BWW Review: Opera House Players' THE ROBBER BRIDEGROOM at Broad Brook Opera House
It's always a pleasure catching up with an old friend, hearing stories you haven't heard in years, laughing together about inside jokes and just feeling comfortable together. These feelings can often be the same when experiencing a theatrical piece again after a long absence. What makes it even more...
BWW Review: THE WHO'S TOMMY at the Warner Theatre
When the first electric chords of the Warner Stage Company's THE WHO'S TOMMY reverberate through the Warner Theatre in Torrington, CT, the audience knows they are in for something different. And TOMMY delivers - it rocks, and deftly tackles the difficult task of bringing an iconic piece to life on t...
BWW Review: SUNSET BABY at TheaterWorks
How do you build a world and a home at the same time? What gets lost in the struggle? How can a generation be so brilliant and so self-destructive at the same time? These are the questions that playwright Dominique Morisseau notes are what spark and guide her play SUNSET BABY, currently in its Conne...
BWW Review: THE COMEDY OF ERRORS at Hartford Stage
A lot can change in 500 years. Our world (and worldview) is so different than our ancestors who lived that long ago. But one thing that is as true in 2017 as it was back in the 16th century, is that audiences love a good comedy. And that is why William Shakespeare's THE COMEDY OF ERRORS, now playing...

BWW Review: [TITLE OF SHOW] at Playhouse On Park
Broadway has given us many things - both successes and flops, brilliant (and sometimes not-so-brilliant) music, and the opportunity to sit in an audience and be transported to a new reality. For some, myself included, the countless hours spent in an audience (or on a stage), at home listening (and r...
BWW Review: THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME at The Bushnell
Intense is probably one word to describe The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, which opened last night at The Bushnell in Hartford, Connecticut. Mesmerizing is another. The Broadway play by Simon Stephens stemmed from the Mark Haddon novel awed its audience with its intelligence, enthus...
BWW Review: KENNY ROGERS' FINAL TOUR at Mohegan Sun
Over the weekend, the legendary singer Kenny Rogers hit the stage at Mohegan Sun for his final tour, The Gambler's Last Deal....
BWW Reviews: OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY in New Haven
Other People's Money @Long_Wharf...
BWW Review: A CHRISTMAS CAROL at Hartford Stage
It's a story most of us have heard or witnessed before. Crotchety and greedy old Ebenezer Scrooge, complaining about the poor, turning down the invitation of his nephew to Christmas dinner, and begrudgingly giving Bob Cratchit the day off for Christmas. We fondly remember past portrayals of Scrooge ...
A Chorus Line at Downtown Cabaret
The award-winning musical comes to the The Downtown Cabaret Main Theatre stage with soulful characters that offer gripping and touching stories....
BWW Review: AN AMERICAN IN PARIS at The Bushnell
A musical infused with ballet and a passionate love affair, An American in Paris delights at The Bushnell....
BWW Review: NOW OR LATER at Square One Theatre Company
In the aftermath of a contentious election year, Square One Theatre opens its season with a political play, "Now or Later" by Christopher Shinn....
BWW Review: MY FAIR LADY at Broad Brook Opera House
A beautiful transformation takes place on stage at the Broad Brook Opera House in the Opera House Players' solid, beautifully presented production of the classic Lerner and Loewe musical, MY FAIR LADY. A classic such as this one requires love and care to ensure that audiences experience all the thin...
BWW Review: BEAUTY AND THE BEAST at the Warner Theatre
It may be a "tale as old as time", but the Warner Stage Company's season opener, Disney's BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, feels fresh, exciting and, as expected, magical. It is hard to find anyone who is not already familiar with the classic Disney tale of Belle, her unfortunate imprisonment in an enchanted ...
BWW Review: UNNECESSARY FARCE at Playhouse On Park
Lately, there have been a lot of slamming doors on Park Road in West Hartford. In its latest production, UNNECESSARY FARCE by Paul Slade Smith, Playhouse on Park gives audiences a fun romp filled with mistaken identities, the Scottish mafia, bumbling crooks (and equally bumbling police officers) and...
BWW Review: RELATIVITY at TheaterWorks
Can a great man also be a good man? Is a person defined by the impact they make on the world or by the impact they make on those they love? Does the importance of a piece of art or a scientific breakthrough outweigh the personal actions of the artist/scientist? These are some of the questions that a...
BWW Review: A GENTLEMAN'S GUIDE TO LOVE AND MURDER Comes to The Bushnell
The hilarious broadway musical comes to Connecticut, bringing with it laugh-out-loud entertainment you won't want to miss....
