Review: FADE TO BLACK at Shabach Enterprise
You get an entire evening of short bursts of brilliance, kinda like a fireworks show to commemorate Juneteenth.

There’s not much to critique here; CLUE is just fun.
Review: MISERY at ALLEY THEATRE
Whether you’re a #1 fan of Stephen King or just coming in the door, this MISERY is worth enduring.
Review: SPAMILTON & 21 CHUMP STREET at Stages Houston
It’s a Broadway Roast in this hilarious double bill!

Review: WHO ALL OVER THERE at The Ensemble Theatre

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.
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.
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.
Review: RED MAPLE at MIGHTY ACORN PRODUCTIONS
The whole show is well-produced, well-acted, and a lot of fun to watch.
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.
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.
