Review: BEAUTIFUL: THE CAROLE KING MUSICAL at THEATRE UNDER THE STARS
TUTS makes it live up to its name. It’s a handsome production, a great cast, and it feels like an old faithful friend. When you’re down and troubled, and you need a helping hand, just call the box office. ...
Review: THAT DRIVE THRU MONTEREY at Stages Houston
Young Love, Love Lost and Genuine Storytelling in Stages’ Sin Muros Festival’s first fully developed production....
Review: DEAR ALIEN at Alley Theatre
This is Sartre for the America of today, and the Alley Theatre kicks it off in grand style in its Neuhaus auditorium below their mainstage....
Review: WHO ALL OVER THERE at The Ensemble Theatre
WHO ALL OVER THERE Balances Comedy With Honest Conversations on Race and Relationships...
Review: FENCES at The Alley Theatre
Building Fences, Breaking Bonds: A Powerful Portrait of Family and Fallout...
Review: OTHELLO at Classical Theatre Company
Widely considered one of Shakespeare’s greatest works, and typically ranked alongside tragedies like Macbeth and Hamlet, OTHELLO explores themes of jealousy, racism, and the destructive nature of unchecked emotion. The play follows its title character, a Moorish general in the Venetian army, as he...
Review: AN IDEAL MAN at CONE MAN RUNNING
AN IDEAL MAN is a fun spin on the source material, and it’s charming and affable in its delivery. I like the idea of the cast of DYNASTY suddenly being thrust into Oscar Wilde’s England via River Oaks....
Review: COMPANY at THE GARDEN THEATRE
You really need a talented group of singers, and THE GARDEN THEATRE has put together a stacked cast of musical actors who have appeared in their shows over the last five years....
Review: SIX at Broadway At The Hobby Center
From Tudor queens to pop princesses, the 6 wives of Henry VIII take the mic and remix 500 years of historical heartbreak into a euphoric celebration of 21st-century HERstory. ...
Review: TINY BEAUTIFUL THINGS at Stages Houston
The best kind of group therapy, TINY BEAUTIFUL THINGS at Stages Houston...
Review: LEOPOLDSTADT at Main Street Theater
Sir Tom Stoppard’s last play, LEOPOLDSTADT, is his most personal. He wrote a narrative loosely based on his own family, changed the location to Austria, and finally wrote a Jewish script. The show debuted in London in 2020 and ran on Broadway from 2022 to 2023. It garnered the Tony for best play t...
Review: RED MAPLE at MIGHTY ACORN PRODUCTIONS
The whole show is well-produced, well-acted, and a lot of fun to watch. It’s endearing, funny, and it actually speaks to something deeper than you would expect....
Review: SOME LIKE IT HOT at Broadway At The Hobby Center
Winner of four Tony Awards, including Best Choreography and Best Costumes, Some Like It Hot is set in Chicago during Prohibition, when everyone is thirsty for a little excitement. ...
Review: THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST at Alley Theatre
Director Rob Melrose certainly knows how to pick actors and designers who know their craft and live it, while the rest merely exist....
Review: THE CHINESE LADY at Stages Houston
Another Lloyd Suh work pulls heartstrings this time at Stages....
Review: VENUS IN FUR at Dirt Dogs Theatre
For Knight, this represents her first chance to be the original aggressor rather than the avenging victim, and it’s wild to see her twist her narrative. She is stunning and statue-esque, and Olivia whiplashes between actress and countess with skill....
Review: THE GREAT GATSBY at Broadway at The Hobby Center
The book is full of mysteries, unspoken judgements, and a vicious sense of classism mixed with ruthless self-preservation, and there is not a lot of this present in this interpretation, brought to life by Kait Kerrigan's book, Jason Howland's music, and Fitzgerald-inspired lyrics by Nathan Tysen....
Review: KATY PERRY CANDY DARLING MARY MAGDELANE at CATASTROPHIC THEATRE
KATY PERRY CANDY DARLING MARY MAGDELANE is a play with songs about how a musician meets Katy Perry, and how it impacts their life. It is also a comedy about a band trying to record a perfect pop song. It is a live concert....
Review: THE COUNTER at 4th Wall Theatre Company
Small Talk Turns to Tough Talk and Everything Changes....
Review: ENGLISH at Alley Theatre
ENGLISH, written by playwright Sanaz Toossi, won the 2023 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and crafts an intimate, devastating portrait of language—as both bridge and barrier. Set in an Iranian classroom, the play unfolds less as a traditional narrative and more as a series of moments unfolding over time....
Review: THE COAST STARLIGHT at Main Street Theater
The show introduces us to a half dozen stories from one car, and it’s an interesting look at how humans interact, or in some cases, don’t....
Review: LOVERLY: THE BROADWAY OF LERNER AND LOEWE (AND LANE) at OVATIONS
You are in a room with eight excellent performers doing songs purely for the joy of getting to sing them for an audience....
Review: GRAND HORIZONS at Mildred's Umbrella
It’s funny, it’s clever, but it sometimes seems to get too caught up in itself as a script. Yet the acting here is top-notch, and the Mildred’s Umbrella production is a wonder in such a small space. Jennifer Decker’s direction is sublime, and she has a solid cast....
Review: HANSEL AND GRETEL at Houston Grand Opera
What did our critic think of HANSEL AND GRETEL at Houston Grand Opera?...
Review: THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST at Company OnStage
Wilde’s wit shines at Company OnStage....
