Review and Photos: DISNEY'S LITTLE MERMAID PREMIERED AT HELSINKI AND LOOKS MAGICAL

by Rosanna Liuski — September 5, 2019
I step into the auditorium. The awaiting audience is as if underwater already because of the lighting that resembles water. As the show starts, we get the logo of 'The Little Mermaid' projected onto otherwise transparent screen. The music plays the classic tunes, for example Part of Your world. It l...

BWW Review: MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS at Suomenlinna

by Rosanna Liuski — July 8, 2019
Murder on the Orient Express is a performance filled with excitement, colorful characters and plot that opens up to the audience bit by bit, just at right times. The performance doesn't leave you could though Suomenlinna could, but surely gets you on an emotional ride if you are just willing to take...

BWW Review: FREAKY FRIDAY Musical Hits Samppalinna's Summer Theater, a Scandinavian Premiere!

by Rosanna Liuski — July 6, 2019
Mother and daughter swapping bodies. To me it reminds of the movie filmed in 2003, starred by Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis, which was my only reference to the title. Fortunately, from the show's program I was able to read more of its history and was surprised: it's based on a book published in...

Review and Photos: FOMO by Ryhmisnuoret, the Youth of The Group Theatre

by Rosanna Liuski — June 2, 2019
All in all, FOMO was a great show and the actors' work in this was anything but lazy. The storyline focuses on the variance of the happenings of the life of the youth that actually deepening into any of them intensively, which is a good choise. The Youth of the Group theatre enjoy being on a sta...

Review and Photos: VILJA ANDAS at The Swedish Theatre Of Helsinki

by Rosanna Liuski — May 29, 2019
All in all Vilja Andas is an informative performance that speaks on important topics, for example how ill must someone be mentally before they are valid to get help? The music fits well to the way of the storytelling. The songs are highly enjoyable and the scenes are touching at their best....

Review: THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG Goes Finely Right at Turku City Theatre

Review: THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG Goes Finely Right at Turku City Theatre

by Rosanna Liuski — April 11, 2019
Things fall of, stage men and women hustle on the stage that's not even ready yet. The play had a good intro with the giggly, proud 'director' Teemu Aromaa. He also made a cameo role as the detective in the play they performed to us....

Review and Photos: HAMLET reflects and breathes without an effort at the Turku City Theatre

by Rosanna Liuski — March 15, 2019
Westerberg knows how to fill space and time just at the right time so that nothing leaves hanging. In big scenes (the golfing-scene) as in small details (Hamlet and their friends are hearing something and Hamlet turns around in a full circle, his friends just in a half one)....

Review and Photos: The Loud and Distinctive CHERRY ORCHARD at the Helsinki City Theatre

by Rosanna Liuski — March 8, 2019
The Cherry Orchard at the Helsinki City theatre is distinctive and loud in various ways. The madame is so perky, coming to the surroundings of her traumas, yet she doesn't want to deal with the things that haunt her. Only when the future is glaring at the horizon she runs inside, becoming like a sto...

Review: HARRIET at the Group Theatre

Review: HARRIET at the Group Theatre

by Rosanna Liuski — February 15, 2019
The beginning is beautifully harmonious: there is white, black and light yellow in tender different shades. White in clothes and the walls, black in boots and in the decorations of the piano. The candles beam yellow light in which everything basks....
Review and analysis: CHEKHOV'S THREE SISTERS at the Finnish National Theatre

Review and analysis: CHEKHOV'S THREE SISTERS at the Finnish National Theatre

by Rosanna Liuski — January 26, 2019
Projections. Massive set designs. Intensive acting. Symbolism. Paavo Westerberg's Three Sisters at the Finnish National theatre is extremely ambitious, a little crazy and might be too much for people with sensory processing sensitivity (SPS)....

Review: A DOLL'S HOUSE, PART 2 at the Helsinki City Theatre

Review: A DOLL'S HOUSE, PART 2 at the Helsinki City Theatre

by Rosanna Liuski — December 22, 2018
A Doll's house, part 2 (Nukkekoti osa 2) at the Helsinki City Theatre is minimalistic statement, almost a rantlike play, emphasizing the chemistries of the characters, with usage of prop - and sound-details that phase the play and bring more drama on stage....

Review: BABYLON from the Red Nose Company

by Rosanna Liuski — November 6, 2018
We walk into the auditorium to find seats, to which we gain help: 'Yea yea, this way, there are many seats certainly left over here!' It's the clown whom we saw in the advertisement, shouting with her nasal voice. She is leading us....

Review: 9 HYVÄÄ SYYTÄ ELÄÄ (9 GOOD REASONS TO LIVE) at Ryhmäteatteri

by Rosanna Liuski — November 2, 2018
All in all 9 good reasons to live is very touching story full of representations of various hapless fates of lives. The play doesn't feed information but leaves space for audiences imagination and own thoughts and interpretations. A possibility to see her own self....
