Review: ENGLISH at Alley Theatre
ENGLISH, written by playwright Sanaz Toossi, won the 2023 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and crafts an intimate, devastating portrait of language—as both bridge and barrier.
Review: THE COAST STARLIGHT at Main Street Theater
The show introduces us to a half dozen stories from one car, and it’s an interesting look at how humans interact, or in some cases, don’t.
Review: LOVERLY: THE BROADWAY OF LERNER AND LOEWE (AND LANE) at OVATIONS
You are in a room with eight excellent performers doing songs purely for the joy of getting to sing them for an audience.
Review: GRAND HORIZONS at Mildred's Umbrella
It’s funny, it’s clever, but it sometimes seems to get too caught up in itself as a script.
Review: HANSEL AND GRETEL at Houston Grand Opera
What did our critic think of HANSEL AND GRETEL at Houston Grand Opera?

A true circus act, WATER FOR ELEPHANTS has it all.
Review: THE BRIDE OR DOES THIS DRESS MAKE ME LOOK MARRIED? at STAGES HOUSTON
Denise Fennell Pasqualone shares so much of herself in THE BRIDE that it just feels like a hug from the actress.
Review: THE BLUEST EYE at The Ensemble Theatre
The first of three regional premieres at The Ensemble Theatre’s Rooted in Destiny season.
Review: STAR WARS IN CONCERT: RETURN OF THE JEDI at Houston Symphony
The Houston Symphony’s presentation of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi in concert was a breathtaking reminder of how timeless and transportive John Williams’ score is.
Review: DISNEY'S BEAUTY AND THE BEAST at Broadway At The Hobby Center
The current BEAUTY AND THE BEAST tour is a celebration of the Broadway musical’s 30th anniversary, and a chance for director and choreographer Matt West and book writer Linda Woolverton to revisit a stage version they have been working on since it all began in Houston during 1993.
Review: CRUEL INTENTIONS: THE 90S MUSICAL at The Garden Theatre
A Nostalgic Blast: CRUEL INTENTIONS: THE ’90s MUSICAL Brings Pop to Midtown
Review: WHO'S HOLIDAY at The Garden Theatre
WHO’S HOLIDAY is playing one weekend only.
Review: THE 1968 CHERRY COLA PITTS CHRISTMAS SPECIAL at Vincent Victoria Presents
It’s a fantasy idea that a black gay man could have a Christmas special in 1968 that would revel in his own identity so unapologetically.
Review: IRVING BERLIN'S WHITE CHRISTMAS at Theatre Under The Stars
Going into Irving Berlin’s WHITE CHRISTMAS, you already know what you are in for.
Review: IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE: A LIVE RADIO PLAY at Stages Houston
It’s a Wonderful Way to Celebrate the Season.
Review: OUR TOWN at 4th Wall Theatre Co.
4th Wall Theatre’s production of Thornton Wilder’s Our Town is a heartfelt, wonderfully acted reminder of why this American classic continues to resonate with audiences of all ages.
Review: DRUNK CHRISTMAS CAROL at Drunk Shakespeare
So, this DRUNK CHRISTMAS CAROL is completely irrelevant.
Review: BEAUTIFUL PRINCESS DISORDER at CATASTROPHIC THEATRE
BEAUTIFUL PRINCESS DISORDER by Kathy Ng is many things, including beautiful, weird, funny, sad, touching, and completely random.
Review: A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC at Opera In The Heights!
Tenuous scene changes, promising performances, and Stephen Sondheim's dazzling score are hallmarks of Opera in the Heights' season-opening production of A Little Night Music.
Review: THE OUTSIDERS at Broadway At The Hobby Center
Adapted from S.
