Review: AT THE WEDDING at Brookfield Theatre Of The Arts
What's worse then being at a wedding that you're clearly not welcome at? Being at a wedding you're clearly not welcome at because you're still madly in love with the bride!...
Review: NOISES OFF at Town Players Of Newtown
If one has never seen Michael Frayn’s Noises Off, then now is your chance. The Town Players of Newtown, under the direction of Alexis M. Vournazos, have brought Frayn’s raucous masterpiece of “and then it went wrong” to life and left the audience in stitches!...
Review: THE FERRYMAN at Hole In The Wall Theater
The Hole in the Wall Theater showed commitment, passion, and heart in bringing The Ferryman to the stage, and it’s a performance well worth seeing. The double doors opened, and the audience is greeted with the authentic interior of the Carney household. This cluttered, yet familiar space immediate...

On Saturday, April 5th, I had the pleasure of seeing a phenomenal show that I was not previously familiar with, THE LAST FIVE YEARS, performed at Center Stage Theatre in Shelton, CT!...

Review: A FLEA IN HER EAR at Brookfield Theatre For The Arts
A flea was put in my ear to get to Brookfield Theater. I was late to the party and tickets were going fast, but I was able to make it to closing weekend of their production of A Flea in her Ear and boy, was it worth it....

Review: A FLEA IN HER EAR at Brookfield Theatre
David Ives’s new version of Georges Feydeau’s farce, A Flea in Her Ear is an ambitious three-act play for any small theater, but the Brookfield Theatre more than rises to it. Named one of the greatest farces ever written, it takes a lot to mount the play. You need a stage large enough to accommo...
Review: ALMOST HEAVEN at Castle Craig Players
On Saturday, March 1st, I had the pleasure of seeing an extraordinary production of the musical ALMOST HEAVEN, featuring the music of John Denver, as performed by the Castle Craig Players at the Almira F. Stephan Memorial Playhouse in Meriden, CT. This is much more than a tribute concert. This is a ...
Review: TERRA NOVA at Powerhouse Theatre
Ted Tally’s Obie Award winning play, Terra Nova, tells the compelling story of the ill-fated British expedition based on facts and the letters and journals found on Captain Robert Scott’s frozen body. Briefly, in 1911-12, teams of five Englishmen and five Norwegians competed to get to the South ...
Review: NATIVE GARDENS at Westport Country Playhouse
Karen Zacarías’s Native Gardens is a 90-minute one-act that thrives at the proven winner Westport Country Playhouse. Directed with verve by JoAnn M. Hunter, Native Gardens is a funny but meaningful play about harmony in the neighborhood and in nature....
Review: GUYS AND DOLLS at Center Stage Theatre
On Friday, February 21st, I had the pleasure of seeing one of my all-time favorite musicals, GUYS AND DOLLS wonderfully performed at Center Stage Theatre in Shelton, CT. This musical features music by Frank Loesser and book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows, based on characters created by Damon Runy...
Review: MOON OVER BUFFALO at Music Theatre of Connecticut
There is no better time than now for Music Theatre of Connecticut’s production of Moon Over Buffalo. Or maybe playwright Ken Ludwig should have called it Loons Over Buffalo. This slapstick comedy is sidesplittingly funny about a fading stage couple who still dream of fame and fortune but are reduc...
Review: WHAT THE CONSTITUTION MEANS TO ME at Ridgefield Theater Barn
Who says learning about history – American history in particular – can’t be entertaining as well as educational? Witness Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Broadway juggernaut Hamilton, or, harking back a few deades, the Peter Stone musical 1776?...
Review: PRIDE AND PREJUDICE at Westport Community Theatre
What did our critic think of PRIDE AND PREJUDICE at Westport Community Theatre?...
Review: JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR at TheatreWorks New Milford
They say that limitations encourage creativity, not stifle it. It may not look the way you envisioned it, but with the right people, you can make it happen. The determination from the entire production created a beautiful production that left the audience enthralled....
Review: Bringing the Joy with A CHRISTMAS CAROL at Connecticut Theatre Company
When it comes to a show like A Christmas Carol, you need to have heart and soul, and the cast and crew of Connecticut Theatre Company’s production of A Christmas Carol got my holiday season off to a great start....
Review: SANTA STORY 2 at Downtown Cabaret Theatre

Review: IN THE HEIGHTS at Downtown Cabaret Theatre
On Friday, November 1st, I had the pleasure of seeing a phenomenal opening night performance of IN THE HEIGHTS at the Downtown Cabaret Theatre in Bridgeport, CT!
