Review: IRVING BERLIN'S WHITE CHRISTMAS at Candlelight Music Theatre
by Greer Firestone - November 28, 2022
After a stellar run of showstoppers and extraordinary, electric entertainment in 2022, Candlelight returns to the seasonal theme of sentimental and saccharine with Irving Berlin’s WHITE CHRISTMAS The Musical. Sentimentality and nostalgia are good. And, the venue is to be applauded for staging this show. It’s good box office. IRVING BERLIN'S WHITE CHRISTMA at Candlelight Music Theatre.

Review: MEMPHIS at Candlelight Music Theatre
by Greer Firestone - October 09, 2022
What did our critic think oHockadoo! MEMPHIS, The Musical, running at Candlelight through October 30, is a compelling show in many respects. Memphis is the story of Huey Calhoun (loosely based on real-life 1950s disc jockey Dewey Phillips) and his mission to bring blues and soul music to a white southern audience in a VERY segregated Memphis. Huey optimistically believes that music can transcend race, and with him on his journey is aspiring singer Felicia Farrell. The two fall in love, but must contend with social barriers, a prejudiced mother, and an overprotective brother. f MEMPHIS at Candlelight Music Theatre?

Review: THE PLAY THE GOES WRONG at Wilmington Drama League
by Rosanne DellAversano - September 15, 2022
BWW Delaware review of THE PLAY THE GOES WRONG at Wilmington Drama League. The end of summer blues got you down? A little stressed because you're going back to in-person work? Fear not!
