The latest reviews and critic recommendations from Delaware.
Based on the hit film and the incredible true story, Candlelight's CATCH ME IF YOU CAN is the high-flying musical comedy about chasing your dreams and not getting caught.
Delaware Theatre Co opens its season with THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES.
The Walnut Street Theatre opens its 211th season (no typo) with an uproarious YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN.
Leslie Bricusse's book follows the basic outline of the often told tale.
Such a serendipitous time to stage SOUTH PACIFIC at Candlelight; 1949 legendary musical theatre consciously plotted to speak to racial animosity; brown skins vs white skins.
From a short 1976 New York Magazine article by Brit ex pat Nik Cohn (which he later admitted was fictional) was spawned a block buster film that made John Travolta a household name.
I understand why actors have a passive-aggressive relationship with critics.
A musical that is both charming and heartbreaking told by two actors in a very unique way.
A Nubian Princess and an Egyptian war hero Captain fall in love at the risk of their lives and the heartbreak of others.
Bono, friend to Troy the protagonist in UD Rep Ensemble's FENCES, comments 'Some people build fences to keep people out, some people build fences to keep people in'.
While UD Rep Ensemble's general modus operandi is classic plays from the likes of Moliere, Shakespeare and Thornton Wilder, their mission statement includes production of contemporary classics as well.
HONK! Is a musical adaptation of the Hans Christian Anderson story of "The Ugly Duckling".
GUYS AND DOLLS, at Candlelight through February 24, opened on Broadway in 1950 and is front and center in the pantheon of American musical theatre.
The parallel musical storytelling of Jamie and Cathy.
There's a reason that the vast majority of parishioners to musical theatre had not seen SHE LOVES ME prior, including Aisle Say.
In his liner notes, Artistic Director Sandy Robbins comments that Alan Ackybourne's WOMAN IN MIND (December Bee) was on his short list since the inception of UD Rep ten glorious years back.
Aisle Say is prescient.
I'm a bit surprised that the News Journal did not report a run on Scottish plaid leading up to Candlelight's opening of BRIGADOON.
The Walnut Theater opens its 210th season with HOLIDAY INN with music by America's songwriter, Irving Berlin.
Let's start with a basic misconception - FUN HOME is not a comedy.
Candlelight's DO BLACK PATENT LEATHER SHOES REALLY REFLECT UP was a revelation to me.
One wonders what Director Rosanne DellAversano and Music Director James Fuerst talk about at home.
Shakespearean stars were aligned this season with not one but two TWELFTH NIGHTS, staged earlier in the year at UD Rep Ensemble and presently in the sylvan fields of Arden.
In this #METOO world of Harvey Weinstein, Matt Lauer and Donald Trump, one might look a bit circumspect at the staging of a 'bedroom' farce.
