Review: BACK TO THE FUTURE at Des Moines Performing Arts
by DC Felton - October 20, 2024
'Great, Scott!' Des Moines Performing Arts is opening another season of fantastic shows coming directly from Broadway. One exciting thing about this season is that all six shows in the season ticket package are in the first year of their national tours. Their 2024/2025 season kicks off with the Lawrence Olivier Award winning musical 'Back to the Future.' While the show won Best Musical in London, it didn't fare as well on Broadway. While both productions are still running, the question I had coming into this was if the show would hit 88 miles per hour and be a hit or not.

Review: MOULIN ROUGE! THE MUSICAL at Des Moines Performing Arts
by DC Felton - August 30, 2024
Another season comes to a close at Des Moines Performing Arts, and they are going out with a big spectacle. On Tuesday, the tour of 'Moulin Rouge' opened at the Civic Center for a two-week run. Having seen the show in New York in the summer of 2022, I was looking forward to seeing this show again and seeing how the show was reimagined for the tour. While I loved the impressiveness of the show on Broadway, I wondered if they could recapture that magic on the tour. Were they able to recapture that magic? Continue reading to find out.
