Review: A GENTLEMAN'S GUIDE TO LOVE AND MURDER at The Masque Theatre & Milnerton Playhouse
South Africa: Judith Herbig • May 21, 2026
A polished and highly entertaining production with excellent singing, sharp comic performances and beautifully slick set changes. Stylish costumes, standout performances and the wonderfully dark humour of the musical make it a thoroughly enjoyable night at the theatre.

Cabaret: Stephen Mosher • May 21, 2026
Audrey Landers and Daniel Landers have dipped their toes in the cabaret waters, and found a place where their brand of musical comedy should fit in quite nicely.
Review: PIPPIN at Signature Theatre
Review: PIPPIN at Signature Theatre
Washington, DC: Aidan O'Connor • May 21, 2026
Certain facets of the human condition are foundational to our very existence – change, connection, desire. One such particularly toxic universal truth is a constant need to be something more than we currently are. To search for happiness in external achievement rather than within ourselves, in our simple joys. Pippin at Signature Theatre breathes within that precise virulence, relatively orchestrated by a troupe of impeccably costumed and choreographed players. A feast for the eyes in all senses, Matthew Gardiner’s production surpasses even the highest of expectations.
Review: JOB-SIDE PRODUCTIONS RESURRECTED WITH CROUCH’S I, BANQUO at Job-Side P
Review: JOB-SIDE PRODUCTIONS RESURRECTED WITH CROUCH’S I, BANQUO at Job-Side Productions Jobsite
Tampa: Drew Eberhard • May 21, 2026
British Playwright Tim Crouch has tackled the tale of Macbeth’s friend and ultimate cohort with I, Banquo, a 40-minute one-man tour-de-force that is a dramatic retelling of the famous Scottish Play from the perspective of Banquo’s Ghost.
Review: MONTY PYTHON’S SPAMALOT Presented by Broadway In Chicago
Review: MONTY PYTHON’S SPAMALOT Presented by Broadway In Chicago
Chicago: Rachel Weinberg • May 21, 2026
Monty Python’s Spamalot is a jubilant and genuinely hilarious touring rendition of the 2023 Broadway revival. If you’re looking for hearty laughs and a winning combo of slapstick humor,witty pop culture, and musical theater references, Spamalot’s got it in spades.
Review: DRACULA: A FEMINIST REVENGE FANTASY, REALLY at SF Playhouse
Review: DRACULA: A FEMINIST REVENGE FANTASY, REALLY at SF Playhouse
San Francisco / Bay Area: Steve Murray • May 21, 2026
Kate Hamill’s cheeky feminist reimagination of Bram Stoker’s Dracula is a lot to chew tacking issues of toxic masculinity, female empowerment, and even a political message on unchecked power and megalomaniacal dangers. It’s a times bold, moody, haunting, well-acted and unusually comic.
Review: REVELL HALL in Burlington, NJ-A Marvelous Destination Restaurant
Review: REVELL HALL in Burlington, NJ-A Marvelous Destination Restaurant
Food + Wine: Marina Kennedy • May 21, 2026
The recently opened Modern American restaurant, Revell Hall is in the charming and historic city of Burlington, New Jersey.
Review: JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR at Studio Tenn
Review: JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR at Studio Tenn
Nashville: Carolan Trbovich • May 21, 2026
Jesus Christ Superstar began as a concept album in 1970 before making its stage debut in 1971. The original 1970 concept album was the brainchild of composer Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyricist Tim Rice.
Review: OR, at Constellation Theatre Company
Review: OR, at Constellation Theatre Company
Washington, DC: Laurie Sara Oliver • May 21, 2026
Writers have a somewhat embarrassing tendency to glorify the act of writing. There are too many author protagonists to count. Liz Duffy Adams leans into this trend with a tasteful sense of irony in her 2009 play, OR. She picked an interesting subject for the task with Aphra Behn. 
Review: CINDERELLA at Ballet Des Moines
Review: CINDERELLA at Ballet Des Moines
Des Moines: DC Felton • May 21, 2026
What did our There is a magic that only happens when seeing a show live. Sometimes it comes from a special effect, and other times from the beauty of telling a story. When that magic happens, it becomes a memory that will last not till midnight, but for a lifetime.
Review: A CHORUS LINE at Park Square Theatre
Review: A CHORUS LINE at Park Square Theatre
Minneapolis / St. Paul: Jared Fessler • May 21, 2026
Park Square Theatre is celebrating its 50th season with a really solid, engaging production of A Chorus Line, running through June 14, 2026. It’s one of those shows that still lands emotionally no matter how familiar you are with it, and this staging keeps things focused on what matters most: the people onstage.
Review: CAMELOT at The John W. Engeman Theater
Review: CAMELOT at The John W. Engeman Theater
Long Island: Michelle Nielsen • May 21, 2026
Lerner & Loewe’s magical tale of CAMELOT has been brought to life at The John W. Engeman Theater in Northport by Director Drew Humphrey*. A rarely performed show on Long Island, this production was worth waiting for! Humphrey, a veteran director, choreographer, and performer, created a masterpiece with this classic tale of love, loss, virtue, betrayal, and hope.
Review: PUEBLO REVOLT at Ground Floor Theatre
Review: PUEBLO REVOLT at Ground Floor Theatre
Austin: Joni Lorraine • May 21, 2026
In Dillon Christopher Chitto’s PUEBLO REVOLT, now playing at Ground Floor Theatre, history breathes through two brothers standing at the edge of revolution. Funny, tender, deeply human, and quietly devastating, PUEBLO REVOLT transforms the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 from a distant historical event into something immediate and painfully recognizable: a story about identity, survival, belonging, and the cost of resistance.
Review: GENTLEMAN JACK, Sadler's Wells
Review: GENTLEMAN JACK, Sadler's Wells
Dance: Franco Milazzo • May 21, 2026
At this point in the history of humanity, a ballet translated from screen to stage or built around a real person is more likely to raise eyebrows than expectations. That’s not to say they have a uniform quality - Rambert’s Peaky Blinders: The Redemption Of Thomas Shelby blew the roof off Sadler’s Wells while Birmingham Royal Ballet’s tribute to Black Sabbath was an unholy mess. No, the main qualm is that it all smacks of hopping onto a passing bandwagon and hoping fervent fans of the source material fill the stalls.
Review: L.A. Premiere of Héctor Armienta’s ZORRO! by Pacific Opera Project
Review: L.A. Premiere of Héctor Armienta’s ZORRO! by Pacific Opera Project
Los Angeles: Shari Barrett • May 20, 2026
Based on the adventures of Johnston McCully's legendary pulp hero, Armienta infuses his opera with the music and sounds of early-19th century Alta California, including flamenco, corrido, and mariachi, with all performed exquisitely by the 24-member POP Orchestra.
Review: THE PAVILLION at 100 Lives Repertory
Review: THE PAVILLION at 100 Lives Repertory
Oregon: Krista Garver • May 20, 2026
Now onstage at 100 Lives Repertory, THE PAVILION is a play about time – the Narrator will tell you so at the outset. It’s also a play about scope. Craig Wright's poetic script opens with the creation of the universe and narrows, with breathtaking precision, to the story of two people at their 20th high school reunion in Minnesota.
Review: FIDDLER ON THE ROOF at Plaza Theatrical
Review: FIDDLER ON THE ROOF at Plaza Theatrical
Long Island: Michelle Nielsen • May 20, 2026
The classic showstopper, FIDDLER ON THE ROOF at Plaza Theatrical in Elmont is not to be missed! A deeply experienced director, Kevin F. Harrington pulled no punches with this production. From the costumes, scenery, and set pieces to the music, dancing, and acting, the show was polished from start to finish!
Review: 'MY LORD, WHAT A NIGHT' at Penguin Rep
Review: 'MY LORD, WHAT A NIGHT' at Penguin Rep
Rockland / Westchester: Peter Danish • May 20, 2026
​​​​​​​At a moment in American life when conversations about race, exclusion, immigration, and human dignity once again dominate the national discourse, Penguin Rep Theatre could scarcely have chosen a more resonant production than 'My Lord, What an Evening.'
