BWW Reviews: ASSASSINS at SRO is Rousing Ammunition for Thought!
If you are socially conscious or have some type of social media account, you are well aware of the social injustices that seem to flood the timelines. In this past year, we have witnessed young black men assassinated at the hands of police officers as well as a massacre in Charleston, South Carolina...

BWW Reviews: FEELIN' GROOVY is a Trip Through Time!
FEELIN' GROOVY marks the first time the founding 'Fab Five' of The Music Box Theater have decided to go all rock on audiences. It's an uneasy marriage at times, but somehow they find their way into the festival scene and make it their own....
BWW Reviews: TRAV'LIN at The Ensemble Moves into Our Hearts and Souls
Many theatre companies stay true to the commercial theatre blueprint, and then there's The Ensemble! The Ensemble was founded in 1976 by George Hawkins. His mission was to create a theatre that would provide diverse roles for black artists. Here we are 39 years later and The Ensemble is taking the H...

Theatre Suburbia provides audiences with a comic look at what book authors are really like once you get past their dust jackets....
BWW Reviews: GEORGE GERSHWIN ALONE at The Alley Is Pimped Out Piano Perfection
Growing up listening to a vast array of music, my ear fell in love with the classics and one particular song entitled 'Summertime' touched my heart and ears. The Gershwin's music is a staple in the history of American Music, and I was ecstatic to see The Alley Theatre's production of GEORGE GERSHWIN...

BWW Reviews: BCT's SUNSET BOULEVARD a Standard, Flawed Retelling
Director and designer Colton Berry brings a solid artistic vision to Bayou City Theatrics staging of SUNSET BOULEVARD, but his conceptualizations remain better than the execution. Uneven acting and vocal performances, persistent sound issues and the price tag ($35 to $40) make this one hard to recom...
BWW Reviews: Sparks Fly in Houston Ballet's THE TAMING OF THE SHREW
William Shakespeare's THE TAMING OF THE SHREW is a comedic, character-driven piece about the courtship of volatile Katherina and obnoxious Petruchio. Character pieces require great characters, naturally, and great performers. In his ballet adaptation, John Cranko delivers. In the Houston Ballet prod...
BWW Reviews: Houston Gets Big Welcome to the 60s with TUTS' HAIRSPRAY!
The audiences at Miller Outdoor Theatre got a big, fat welcome back to the early 1960s, where tall hair and bright, jarring outfits were all the rage, thanks to TUTS' Humphreys School of Musical Theatre's fun and boisterous production of HAIRSPRAY.
With a pastiche score by Marc Shaiman and Scott ...

BWW Reviews: FADE TO BLACK PLAY FESTIVAL at The Queensbury Theatre Bold, Black & Brilliantly-Beautiful
Last night I had the privilege to go to the 3rd annual FADE TO BLACK playwright's festival. Houston has its share of fringe events, but there wasn't a playwright's festival celebrating the works of black playwrights until Denise O'Neal conceived the FADE TO BLACK festival. In their 3rd year of opera...
BWW Reviews: THE TOXIC AVENGER Spreads Hot Toxic Love at 54 Below
The Toxic Avenger, based on Lloyd Kaufman's character and film by the same name and winner of the Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Off-Broadway Musical, returned to New York City on Monday night for a special one-night-only concert reunion at 54 Below.

BWW Reviews: MACK AND MABEL Revises the History of Early Hollywood But Captures Its Spirit
MACK AND MABEL is a love story between a director who can't be anything but what he is and an actress who can't figure out who she is. More deeply, it is a story about the turbulent relationship between Hollywood and cinema. And like Normand, it's smart and funny too....

BWW Reviews: HEARTBREAK, USA Lacks Heart
HEARTBREAK, USA is the ballad of Missy and Jerry, long-time sweethearts who find themselves at the end of the relationship road. Missy leaves, looking to her friends, Casey and Lizzie, for much needed support. But Jerry stubbornly stays exactly where Missy left him, vowing to remain on his porch unt...

BWW Reviews: Tyce Green Goes All The Way Live In TYCE GREEN LIVE
I never questioned whether or not Tyce Green could sing. Rather, the question was, 'Can he carry a live show without an ensemble?' The answer is yes. At this point in his career, Green has a style of his own. Loose and earnest with a hint of humor. And he's a damn good interpreter. Even when I was c...

BWW Reviews: 5 LESBIANS EATING A QUICHE is On the Menu
If you love absurd little satires, whimsical period pieces, and female-centric art (or you just have a healthy, if unusual, appreciation for the egg), then 5 LESBIANS EATING A QUICHE is for you....
BWW Reviews: DIE WALKURE at Houston Grand Opera, Wunderbar
Incest, power trips and a rebel with a cause are a few of the things we see in Houston Grand Opera's production DIE WALKÜRE. I like to think of the opera world as an elaborate wine list. Delectable notes from a fine Merlot, Riesling or Chablis, and Houston Grand Opera's current season is packed ful...
BWW Reviews: TALES OF A FOURTH GRADE NOTHING at Main St. Theatre is Super Fudgy Awesomeness
What do you get when you have a cerebral 4th grader, spoiled little brother and a turtle named Dribble? It's the popular Judy Blume book TALES OF A FOURTH GRADE NOTHING on stage adapted by Bruce Mason. The Main St. Theatre's TYA performance introduced a room full of inquisitive kids and adults to th...
