Review: MARY POPPINS JR. at Casa Manana, Ft. Worth TX


by Pati Buehler - April 22, 2024

Mary Poppins is pretty much a familiar name among parents and children everywhere. Disney's film is the Halmark of popular children's films. However, seeing this as a live theater production is a thrilling experience for young and old. Having seen this gem live onstage three times, I never tire of i...

Review: GIRL FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY at Broadway Dallas


by Sam Lisman - April 19, 2024

Review: DEAR BRUTUS at MainStage Irving-Los Colinas

Review: POTUS: OR, BEHIND EVERY GREAT DUMBASS ARE SEVEN WOMEN TRYING TO KEEP HIM ALIVE at Stage West Theatre

Review: ANN at WaterTower Theatre

Review: LES MISERABLES at Broadway Dallas


by Sam Lisman - February 22, 2024

The era of the seemingly endless tour brought Les Misérables back to DFW during Christmas.  I hadn’t seen it on stage in about a decade (let’s not talk about seeing it on film), so it seemed to be an appropriate time to revisit it. ...

Review: YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN at NTPA Repertory Theater


by Korri Romero - October 10, 2023

Taking on a Mel Brooks classic certainly isn’t without risk. For decades, his work has left audiences with painfully awkward side eyes and awkwardly painful side stitches. Without a doubt, NTPA's rendition of Young Frankenstein leaves viewers feeling the latter....

Review: DISNEY'S BEAUTY AND THE BEAST JR. at Casa Manana , Ft. Worth TX


by Pati Buehler - October 10, 2023
