BWW Review: THE BODYGUARD THE MUSICAL Will Always Love Whitney at Broadway At The Hobby Center

On Friday night The Gravity Players opened a courtroom comedy and exploration of faith, THE LAST DAYS OF JUDAS ISCARIOT, to a lively audience.
BWW Review: SAUCY JACK AND THE SPACE VIXENS Just Need Disco at Obsidian Theater
It's freaky and fun! Glittery boots, lots of variations on sex and preference, and even a stripper pole front and center means this one is not gonna be a light family musical.
BWW Review: Gary Laird - PIPPIN Has Magic To Do at Miller Outdoor Theatre
It's a show business aphorism that the meaning of the musical PIPPIN, first produced on Broadway in 1972, is anybody's guess.

It's certainly a relevant piece for our time, and I applaud the intention of bringing it to life in this era of political debate and mistrust of the media.

THE BARBER OF SEVILLE (the eighteenth century play written by French native Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais, not Rossini's opera) makes for a charming spectacle at Classical Theatre Company.

KURIOS, Cabinet of Curiosities, written and directed by Michel Laprise, creates a world vaguely 19th-century, with overtones of the French filmmaker Georges Melies.
BWW Review: GRAND CONCOURSE forgives at Main Street Theater
The actors are amazing, the set is handsomely appointed, and the lighting design is creative and well executed.
BWW Album Review: Tyce's HERO Rocks With Precision, Lacks Emotion
