Review: WHO’S HOLIDAY! at National Broadway Theatre


by Brian Hilbrand - December 16, 2025

A story, although not written by Seuss, is an after-story of sorts, detailing what happens the night after Cindy Lou Who meets the Grinch, who, interestingly enough, and without giving too much away, end up getting married.  The wild and crazy events that go down as a result of that are nothing shor...

Which also makes 'Rent' tricky. Beyond its now-legendary mythology, its original cast,  its cultural impact, ...

Review: PARANORMAL ACTIVITY, Ambassadors Theatre


by Franco Milazzo - December 15, 2025
