BWW Review: PETER PAN 360 at AT&T Performing Arts Center
by Kyle Christopher West - November 22, 2015
Like THE WIZARD OF OZ or CINDERELLA, PETER PAN is the kind of story reinvented as frequently as is it remembered. In a story packed with pirates, Indians, fairies, and flying, Peter's plan to never grow up is relatable to every kid and every kid-at-heart alike. In its newest incarnation, PETER PAN 360, producers Herrick Entertainment and Threesixty Entertainment bill the show as an 'undeniably impressive as a stage spectacle [with] fast-paced, action-packed staging. [This show features] 22 actors, stunning puppets, epic music, dazzling flying sequences, and the world's first 360 degree CGI (Computer-Generated Imagery) theatre set.'

BWW Review: Dixie's Tube Top Is 'Funner Than Funnel Cake'
by Kyle Christopher West - November 21, 2015
Somehow, it seems unfair to call Dixie Longate a 'drag queen.' Sure, she's an over-the-top personality in a tall wig and high heels, but her act is so much more than glitter and gossip (of which there is plenty). Her new show, NEVER WEAR A TUBE TOP WHILE RIDING A MECHANICAL BULL AND SIXTEEN OTHER THINGS I LEARNED WHILE I WAS DRINKING LAST THURSDAY is the kind of show that makes you laugh, makes you cry, and then makes you laugh until you cry. But how can you describe it?
