Review: THE LION KING at The Paramount Theatre


by Shelley Dean - December 10, 2025

Stage adaptations of movies are always tricky, but there’s a certain level of prestige that comes with adapting and pulling off one of the most loved and highly regarded movie adaptations of all time. The Lion King holds a deep residency in so many hearts, having loved the movie from a very early ag...

Review: THE BIG FAT CHRISTMAS SHOW at El Portal Theatre


by Amanda Callas - December 10, 2025

Standout moments include “Lonely Jew”  by a brilliant Rena Strober, which made the entire evening for me.  This hilarious and wildly irreverent ode to the holiday season includes Strober belting “Oy Vey Maria” and pulling missing Hanukkah candles out of her lady bits to add to her menorah.  I could ...

Review: BENGAL TIGER AT THE BAGHDAD ZOO, Young Vic


by Franco Milazzo - December 10, 2025

Bengal Tiger At Baghdad Zoo, arriving now at the Young Vic for its long-overdue European premiere, is ostensibly about the American occupation of Iraq. Really, though, Rajiv Joseph’s Pulitzer-nominated work is about two things: a gold-plated toilet seat stolen from Uday Hussein (son of Saddam and re...

Review: ARIODANTE, Royal Ballet and Opera


by Gary Naylor - December 10, 2025
