BWW Review: SOMETHING ROTTEN! at Bass Performance Hall
by Christina Hoth - January 19, 2018
It's Hard to be the Bard. In fact, it is extremely hard to write anything original today. Hollywood keeps revamping the classics, Television keeps remaking the greats, and Broadway keeps reviving the hits. So when Something Rotten! arrived on Broadway in 2015, bypassing its initial proposed preview in Seattle, the unprecedented play had a bit of buzz backing its debut. Finally, an original musical comedy was taking an angle that no other had attempted--the origin of the musical!

BWW Review: I LOVE YOU, YOU'RE PERFECT, NOW CHANGE at Theatre 3
by Samuel Weber - January 16, 2018
After 18 years, a Dallas theatre staple is coming to an end of its time. For nearly 2 decades, Theatre 3 has presented Joe Dipietro and Jimmy Roberts' musical revue I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change in what had become a Dallas tradition. Though I am personally not a fan of the book of the show, or musical revues in general, this earnest production in the heart of Uptown clearly has earned its place.
