BWW Reviews: Stage Door Inc.'s EVIL DEAD: THE MUSICAL is a Bloody and Cheesy Affair
EVIL DEAD is a large campy affair. After all, the musical borrows its story, characters and general demeanor from a B-film franchise. Intentionally cheesy and over-the-top funny, it relies heavily on self-referential humor and pop culture references....

BWW Reviews: Landing Theatre's DEVIL DOG SIX Is A Big Winner
Who knew horses would be best in a show?...
BWW Reviews: ANYTHING GOES Does Everything Right and is a Real Dazzler
ANYTHING GOES premiered in 1934, and the story takes place around the same year. The cruise liner the SS American journeys across the pond to London. The passengers are comprised of the luxurious upper class, sailors, gangsters, gamblers, entertainers, and a stowaway stock broker. Essentially, ANYT...

BWW Reviews: RIGOLETTO By Oh! Is A Beautiful Opera Of Love
These characters are awful, foolish people, and I hate them. Let me illustrate. Just for kicks, the Duke of Mantua, with the help of his court jester, Rigoletto, seduces Countess Ceprano, wife of Count Ceprano. After helping the Duke bed the countess, Rigoletto spends a good portion of time mocking ...

BWW Reviews: A.D. Players Presents THE 39 STEPS - It's a Tippi Good Time
Like all dashing, debonair, and mustachioed bachelors, Richard Hannay has nothing to do. Listless, he decides to go to the theatre and, finally, the promise that every theatre teacher you ever had made comes true - it transforms his life. At the theatre, he meets a beautiful woman who accompanies hi...
BWW Reviews: TUTS Underground's Production of REEFER MADNESS is HIGH-lariously Good
The story focuses on two All-American and clean cut high school sweethearts Jimmy (Sean McGee) and Mary Lane (Taylor Beyer). They want to grow up together, have babies, lots of friends and end up happily ever after like their favorite couple “Romeo and Juliet” (a story in which they don't know ...
BWW Reviews: Bayou City Theatrics' LORD OF THE FLIES Terrifies
Bayou City Theatrics' grisly production knocked the wind out of me....
BWW Reviews: SFNY's NSFW '80s IN OUR UNDIES Is Pretty In Pink, Ebony, and Ivory
I am not an '80s fan. (Why the shoulder pads and clashing colors, '80s?) But, '80s IN OUR UNDIES' Judy Garland-esque mix of funny anecdotes and virtuosic vocals is appealing....
BWW Reviews: Denise O'Neal's JUST A FEW FEET AWAY is Thrilling
JUST A FEW FEET AWAY is one of those stories that reminds people just how interconnecting our lives really are. Through a series of monologues, it examines the interlocking stories of 12 very different characters who lives are unknowingly intertwined. There's cheating, scandals and mystery galore a...

Following a group of kids growing up in a pious community in late-19th-century Germany, SPRING AWAKENING explores the lust and confusion of the adolescents discovering their budding sexuality while being repressed by their parents and teachers. Wendla's mother is too inhibited to give her daughter a...

BWW Reviews: Bayou City Theatrics' THE LAST 5 YEARS is Beautifully Well-done
It's intimate, poignant and raw. There's only one weekend left to see Bayou City Theatrics' limited engagement of THE LAST 5 YEARS. Created by Jason Robert Brown, with some inspiration from his personal life story, the 2 character musical chronicles the beginning and ending of a young couple's relat...
BWW Reviews: WAITING FOR OTHELLO and DESDEMONA: Two Plays, Two Acts, and One Hit
The Trebuchet Players' production of DESDEMONA: A PLAY ABOUT A HANDKERCHIEF features top-notch acting and an emotional depth so luxurious you could get lost in it. Homegrown talent Bryan Maynard's silly, self-aware, but not self-serious, play WAITING FOR OTHELLO features equally talented performers ...
BWW Reviews: The Texas Rep. Hits All of the Right Notes as a Hilarious Crowd-pleaser
THE FOREIGNER takes places in a cozy fishing lodge in rural Tilghman County, Georgia. There we meet two Englishmen Froggy and Charlie. Staff Sergeant Froggy has come to do some official military business near the area and forced his friend Charlie to join for a change of scenery. Plagued by marital ...

BWW Reviews: Sunny Thompson and MARILYN: FOREVER BLONDE! are More Than Wonderful
Marilyn wiggles, flirts, giggles and quips her way right into your heart in MARILYN: FOREVER BLONDE. In this one woman show with more drinking than an O'Neill play, Sunny Thompson, playing Marilyn, takes us on a trip through Monroe's life of sex, storybook romances (if you judge a book by its cover)...
