The latest reviews and critic recommendations from Houston.
As a part of Stages Repertory Theatre's 2nd Annual Sin Muros: A Latinx Theatre Festival, Marisela Treviño Orta's The River Bride is composed of an entirely Latinx cast.
I realize part of the fun of THE SECRETARY is it never comes down heavily on one side or the other on the gun debate, but that also means I sat there frustrated as I felt there was little point to whipping out pistols and taking on issues.
It is perversely funny, profane at many points, but in the end shows huge heart and calls for the virtue of love and service to your fellow man.
What can I say about the 4th Wall production of Kate Hamill's PRIDE & PREJUDICE? I dig it.
It's December and the holidays are here whether we like it or not.
Theatre Under the Stars' BEAUTY AND THE BEAST is the classic storybook tale vibrantly come to life in every aspect.
The Houston Ballet, after a year of touring various Houston venues while awaiting the refurbishment of the flood-damaged Wortham Theatre Center, makes a triumphant return in Stanton Welch's THE NUTCRACKER.
This is an irreverent retelling with no apologies about what it is doing.
The Catastrophic Theatre's production of FIRST SUBURB is utterly relatable and simply unshakable.
![BWW Review: {ADJECTIVE}[NOUN] celebrates local talent at Company Onstage](https://cloudimages2.broadwayworld.com/columnpic10/200200ED035123-BF50-4DBE-E686BFF10D72D039.jpg?format=auto&width=220)
The common themes seem to be 4am, animals and their instincts, an obsession with INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM, and lots of introspective angst about miscommunication.
Technically the effects still work, and I watched as the shocked younger members of the audience witnessed practical effects to contrast all the CGI they had grown up on.
Though it's 2018 in Houston, Texas, at the height of the 2018 primary election, but thankfully, there's an escape from the tumultuous political climate where blue and red are the subject.
I was fortunate enough to see Houston's Classical Theatre Company present THE RETURN OF SHERLOCK HOLMES, written by Arthur Conan Doyle (Writer of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes novel series).
Today is the last day Dominique Morisseau's SKELETON CREW will run at the Alley Theatre.
It's basically THE SOUND OF MUSIC set in a cabin and good fun for the entire family! Well….
Pulitzer Prize-Winnng Sam Shepard's CURSE OF THE STARVING CLASS displays the lives of the working-class Tate family as they navigate everything from suffocating debt, to teenage crime, to marital distress and back again.
No need to bury the lede: this production of LES MISERABLES is the most true-to-Broadway theatrical experience I have ever had outside of the Great White Way.
In a way it is like watching a heady special episode of CHEERS set in London in the early 1620s.
The year is 1872, the setting is London, and the bet was made at exactly 8:55pm for 20,000 pounds.
In the theatre world, your first time seeing Rodgers & Hammerstein's OKLAHOMA! is essentially a rite of passage.
JESUS HOPPED THE 'A' TRAIN does what 4th Wall Theatre Company does best: explore valid, thought-provoking, true stories that linger on your mind for days following.
THE MOORS seeks to say something about the visibility and state of women today through the lens of satirizing Victorian era romantic literature like JANE EYRE, WUTHERING HEIGHTS, or THE WOMAN IN WHITE.
Originally conceived by playwright Young Jean Lee, it was performed as spoken word broken up by punk rock songs about pain and death.
This is an intense drama exploring the depths of a man who feels ostracized by a group that is already shunned by society.
