BWW Reviews: Riveting Performances Propel Long Wharf's CURSE OF THE STARVING CLASS
The darker side of the production is offset by riveting performances by Ivey and Tighe - and that really adorable scene-stealing lamb handled by William Berloni.
BWW Reviews: Seven Angels Takes Us on Trip Down Memory Lane with George Burns in SAY GOODNIGHT, GRACIE
The play is as much a love letter from Burns to his comedy partner and wife and a tribute to his friendship with comedian Jack Benny as it is a memoir of his career, which spanned 90 years until he turned 100.

John Waters' tale of hair hoppers and integrationists receives a workman-like production in Broad Brook.

The play has cool charm, blustery humor and just enough frostbite to keep it from being too sweetly romantic.

BWW Reviews: CLOUD NINE Time Travels at Yale January 22-26
Caryl Churchill's gender-bending, time-traveling farce is liberated by the Yale School of Drama.
BWW Reviews: BREATH & IMAGINATION Shouts a Jubilant Song

Beauty, Princess Leia, the Beast and the Jedi curse!

BWW Reviews: Enjoy Some Christmas Cheer from a Disgruntled Elf in THE SANTALAND DIARIES
Kready, dressed in full elf garb that incudes candy-cane tights (Margaret Charbonneau, costume design), often reclining in an ornate Santa throne decorated with a background of Christmas trees (Michael Lenaghan, set design), brings personalities to life with recreations of SantaLand moments under th
BWW Reviews: CONNetic Dance's NUTCRACKER SUITE & SPICY More Mild Than Wild
With NUTCRACKER SUITE & SPICY, a critic learns Trix are for kids.
BWW Reviews: Sarah Ruhl's DEAR ELIZABETH, Play About Poets, is Poetry Itself
It's amazingly sad yet funny, intense yet whimsical, deep yet obvious, revealing yet obscure -- all at the same time and both Fisher and Mays capture our imaginations as they creating characters experiencing the wide range of emotions.
BWW Reviews: Playhouse On Park's DRIVING MISS DAISY a Comfortable Ride
Playhouse on Park's somewhat bumpy production of DRIVING MISS DAISY proves to be smart holiday programming.
