Domenico Leona is directing We Only Come Out at Night, a horror-comedy for Company OnStage.
Cypress Stage launches its inaugural season with Emily Mann’s Gloria: A Life, running October 2 through October 18.
I think this story talks to the broader immigrant experience.
The musical was on Broadway before it was a movie, and they highlight all the great songs from the movie, all the stuff with the kids, all the beautiful things with the nuns, and the captain and Maria.
I just want generosity of spirit when they walk out.
However, when I look at theater, it's kind of this magical, transformative space, and the idea of, from something like Hamilton, what does it mean to look at these historical figures, and how does the lens change when we allow different performers to take this on?
It was something that just shot out of my brain when discussing with Jason Nodler, my co-artistic director, what shows we were considering for this current season, and it just wasn't even something we debated.
She’s wonderful to play.
Cy Coleman got started as a jazz musician.
We were very aligned in the sense that the thing that most stood out to us about the story was the sense of the stranger arriving in a strange land and being embraced, feared, bearing gifts, bearing mysterious gifts.
This season felt big and important, and it was really important for me to sort of look back at where we've come from, what's brought us here, and where we're going from here.
But it began with her feeling like she wasn't safe in certain spaces, and with that rage women get when they walk down the street and are catcalled, and their voices are minimized.
Denise Fennell Pasqualone returns to STAGES through August 16th for a Houston premiere of the live version of Late Nite Catechism Las Vegas: Sister Rolls the Dice! BROADWAY WORLD writer Brett Cullum got a chance to catch up with the actress out of her nun’s habit to discuss gambling, love, and how…
I love a jukebox musical.
Regina is probably one of the hardest vocal tracks that I've been dealt.
It's a murder mystery.
We felt very much at the end of the last run that we were not done telling the story.
It's very communal, and I really appreciate that, especially because tour life can be really isolating.
In Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune, actor Callina Anderson brings warmth, wit, and emotional honesty to Terrence McNally's unforgettable heroine.
Holland Vavra is a Houston-based performer who is marking her 30th production at Stages with her own cabaret show.
The Hunchback of Notre Dame will be playing the Houston Broadway Theatre at the Cullen Theater in the Wortham Center.
I got into acting really early.
One of the coolest things that Theatre Under the Stars does every year is host an awards program for high school students called The Tommy Tune Awards.
I felt like this might be my last chance to do something this ambitious, something I've wanted to do for a long time, with a theater that actually gave me my first theatrical opportunities as a student at Rice University.
“I’ve been singing since I was three,” he said.
The Alley is now presenting DEAR ALIEN, a show that'll be running through May 31st in the lower Neuhaus space.
It's a political comedy parody.
One day, I thought, you know what? There's one group of songs from the Disney studios, their animated films, that we all grew up with.
I'm playing the role of Lyons.
Out of the knights, I knew the least about Monty Python, so I had a lot of catching up to do.
The play is just… it’s about everything.
You mentioned old, and I don't feel old! I feel like high school was yesterday.
My original show had dancing, singing, comedy, and my album, but it also had stand-up, and that part was kind of the thing that made me go, “I really love this!”
BACK TO THE FUTURE THE MUSICAL has hit Houston’s Hobby Center and plays for just a week through April 5th.
Tom Stoppard has such a knack for language.
It's basically about two couples who get together for dinner, and they're both fairly new empty nesters, and they both are not communicating well.
For me, the message of this play is that family is the most important thing.
