BWW Reviews: JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR at Bayou City Theatrics Super Let Down
It was the summer of 1988 when I first heard the melodious JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR score. After church, Mamma and Nanny T would make rounds to the local garage sales and the original cast album was one of their finds. I had a vintage stereo with a record player and this was my solace after church or ...

BWW Reviews: WHAT I LEARNED IN PARIS at The Ensemble
When a play weaves in watershed moments in American history, there's sure to be connectivity and enlightenment. Before Obama and the Change movement, there was Maynard Jackson.

BWW Reviews: Oh!'s LA TRAGEDIE DE CARMEN Not Bizet But Far From A Tragedy
Peter Brook's pared down LA TRAGEDIE DE CARMEN is perfect for Opera in the Heights, but it lacks the magic and richness of Georges Bizet's CARMEN. However, if you combine all that is good about Brook's LA TRAGEDIE DE CARMEN with the talented cast and crew of Opera in the Heights, you have a good tim...

BWW Reviews: Audra McDonald, a Living Legend
If there ever was a noted voice from heaven, I would have to say that this title belongs to Audra McDonald.
