The latest reviews and critic recommendations from Delaware.
Who doesn’t enjoy an evening of young musical theater performers strutting their stuff on a professional stage? Not me and certainly not the enthusiastic Opening Night audience of ANNIE now playing at The Candlelight Theatre.
It doesn’t matter if you know the stage version, or the movie version, or don’t know anything about it, just know ARSENIC AND OLD LACE has an easy to follow plot that leads you down a path of hijinks straight to your funny bone.
For many, the wild and unpredictable ride of a roller coaster is exhilarating and euphoric, while for others, it is traumatic and elicits multiple phobic fears.
The Walnut Street Theatre’s opening night production of 1776 is, quite simply, magnificent.
George Abbott earned the reputation of Broadway’s “show doctor” in the 1950s because he had an uncanny ability to fix troubled musicals quickly and commercially.
The Smyrna Opera House’s Cabaret isn’t just good—it’s a minor miracle.
A monster of a musical hits The Candlelight Theatre stage.
Producing a play called POTUS: Or, Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive in today’s political climate takes nerve.
What did our critic think of THE PRODUCERS - A MEL BROOKS MUSICAL at The Candlelight Theatre?
Disney’s The Little Mermaid, loosely based on the fairytale of Hans Christian Andersen, tells the simple story of the beautiful young mermaid, Ariel, and her longing to leave her ocean home and live in the world above with humans.
City Theatre Company’s CHICAGO was met with a warm audience response on opening night—and deservedly so.
Aisle Say is really dating himself as he references Laurel and Hardy’s MARCH OF THE WOODEN SOLDIERS.
It’s the same thinking every year.
Ragtime, like the mega-musicals of the late 1990s (Les Mis, Phantom, Miss Saigon), is epic in scope.
In four decades of sitting in darkened houses across Delaware and Pennsylvania, Aisle Say has seen hundreds of productions come and go.
Candlelight Music Theatre’s summer production of Escape to Margaritaville offers audiences an irresistible tropical vacation without ever leaving Ardentown.
Wilmington Drama League has mounted a joyous and exuberant Hairspray, a dazzling production before a sold-out audience.
Delaware Theatre Company’s latest production, Stompin’ at the Savoy, bursts onto the stage with heart, harmony, and a whole lot of swing.
Resident Ensemble Players’ King Lear is not a safe, reverential staging—it is a bold, bracing confrontation with one of Shakespeare’s most devastating works.
I HATE HAMLET by Paul Rudnick is cute, silly little nod to all you theater nerds.
What did our critic think of BRIGHT STAOver recent years, Candlelight has taken a few risks on mainstage shows.
The Wilmington Drama League has done it again, delivering a production that is equal parts gut-busting comedy and deeply moving storytelling.
Aisle Say is a history junkie.
Even with a sentimental attachment (more on that later), Aisle Say had not visited Wilmington Drama League for years.
City Theatre remains true to its mission with a stunning, joyous, provocative rock n roll SPRING AWAKENING.
