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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Review: REAL WOMEN HAVE CURVES at Alley Theatre
It’s funny, it’s warm, and you walk away feeling as if you saw a community revealed.
Review: WATER FOR ELEPHANTS at Broadway At The Hobby Center
A true circus act, WATER FOR ELEPHANTS has it all.
Review: THE BRIDE OR DOES THIS DRESS MAKE ME LOOK MARRIED? at STAGES HOUSTON
Denise Fennell Pasqualone shares so much of herself in THE BRIDE that it just feels like a hug from the actress.
Review: THE BLUEST EYE at The Ensemble Theatre
The first of three regional premieres at The Ensemble Theatre’s Rooted in Destiny season.
Review: STAR WARS IN CONCERT: RETURN OF THE JEDI at Houston Symphony
The Houston Symphony’s presentation of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi in concert was a breathtaking reminder of how timeless and transportive John Williams’ score is.
Review: DISNEY'S BEAUTY AND THE BEAST at Broadway At The Hobby Center
The current BEAUTY AND THE BEAST tour is a celebration of the Broadway musical’s 30th anniversary, and a chance for director and choreographer Matt West and book writer Linda Woolverton to revisit a stage version they have been working on since it all began in Houston during 1993.
