The latest reviews and critic recommendations from Houston.
There is a short, tight list of Houston actors who could do a show about their life and have it mean anything more than a vanity project, but she is at the top of that register.
What did our critic think of COWBOY BOB at ALLEY THEATRE? Despite any narrative difficulties, COWBOY BOB is still something to see.
Walking into one of the small, black box theater spaces at MATCH, all I knew was that I was about to watch a brand-new sketch musical about Drs.
As much as I admire the art of ballet, I have never seen a new, professional ballet performance, one that no one else has seen before.
That Dirt Dogs would choose MISERY for their “season of love” makes perfect sense.
Whoa! The literal words audience members exclaim after witnessing the powerful performances that are currently happening in Roe at STAGES.
Every Brilliant Thing at AD Players, a one-man show that finished at the George Theater, can only be summed up in one phrase, freaking brilliant.
I made sure that I managed my expectations when attending MOULIN ROUGE!: THE MUSICAL because the stage production could not be as visually exciting as the original film, right? Wrong.
ROMEO AND JULIET…the classic love story of star-crossed lovers.
I could only imagine what a magic show would consist of.
I remember the day when I first saw the cover for “The Lightning Thief” by Rick Riordan.
You won’t find a more technically stunning or well acted show in Houston right now.
Show after show, CHICAGO makes the crowd roar and come to their feet, energizing all with its storytelling, dancing, and glamor.
'A Midsummer Night's Dream' is arguably the most well-known comedic play in the world.
THE SCHOOL FOR SCANDAL is presented with new life! The play reflects a comedy of errors that occurs after a false rumor is purposely spread.
If true art is the ability to tell a story through a medium, then what this group has achieved is a remarkable level of marrying movement with narrative.
Many already know the story of Ebenezer Scrooge.
After seeing this film, I can’t get Cherry Cola Pitts out of my mind.
When one thinks of the holiday season, many imagine 'The Nutcracker' or 'A Christmas Carol'.
With more than 70,000 patrons seeing it every year, Houston Ballet’s THE NUTCRACKER is one of the most celebrated traditions of the holidays, and rightfully so! Being performed for over 35 years, the production is full of incredible orchestrations, wonderful imagery, and a magical story to boot.
'That's a lot of laughs in there,' one kind audience member said to me during one of the intermissions.
The Catastrophic Theatre is now presenting the world premiere of THEY DO NOT MOVE by Brian Jucha with the Catastrophic ensemble.
It’s a rock musical featuring all of the naughty behavior of the original film and marries it to the “hits of the day” that were hot when it came out.
The story goes that Toby Marlow and Lucy moss after meeting in their years at university, made a decision to write a musical about the six wives of Henry VIII.
Two chairs, a side table, and a lone actress on stage begins 4th Wall Theatre’s production of Lucas Hnath’s The Thin Place.
