Review: THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE at Theatre Under The Stars
Finally, as the theater district is abuzz for the 2025 - 26 season, Theatre Under The Stars brings out not with a bang but with a heartfelt and endearing show: The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.
Review: THE MINUTES at Dirt Dogs Theatre Co.
Written by Pulitzer Prize–winning playwright Tracy Letts and nominated for Best Play at the 2022 Tony Awards, THE MINUTES is a political satire infused with dark humor, offering a timely critique of power dynamics, political corruption, and the manipulation of history.
Review: PORGY AND BESS at Houston Grand Opera
As Houston performing arts ventures grow for the 2025-26 season, Houston Grand Opera surpasses them all with a thrilling 50th anniversary production of Gershwin's Porgy and Bess.
Review: MUD ROW at Stages Houston
Class, love, and family are at the forefront of this poignant generational drama.
Review: MIDNIGHT HIGH: A NIGHT AT THE OXHEAD at The Octarine Accord
Forget the haunted house this season, and try something a little bit more involved and engaging.
Review: ELECTRA at Classical Theatre Company
But could director Jon Harvey be purposefully lightening his ELECTRA for this era? Does he want a more pop-friendly approach? Do we need that now? These are all questions that only he can answer, but the show itself has a nice pace and energy.
Review: THE BODY SNATCHER at The Alley Theatre
A Heart of Darkness: THE BODY SNATCHER Delivers Gothic Thrills
Review: THE LEHMAN TRILOGY at Stages Houston
A sweeping epic opens the latest Stages season.
Review: THE DA VINCI CODE at Alley Theatre
It’s a marvelously entertaining thriller that audiences are likely to flock to, because it has a sense of awe-inspired fun that you seldom find in the theater.
Review: EUREKA DAY at 4TH Wall Theatre Company
Fourth Wall Theatre Company has a revival right now, and boy, does it feel timed for the right moment in Texas politics.
Review: ENDGAME at Catastrophic Theatre
Before this world ends, you need to see Catastrophic’s staging of ENDGAME starring Greg Dean and directed by Jason Nodler.
Review: AKEELAH & THE BEE at The Ensemble Theatre
The opening of The Ensemble’s 49th season is a H-I-T!
Review: PURLIE VICTORIOUS at Main Street Theater
PURLIE VICTORIOUS: A NON-CONFEDERATE ROMP THROUGH THE COTTON PATCH is certainly a curiosity, a satire of Jim Crow life written during the throes of the equal rights movement of the early sixties.
Review: SCHMITT'S PSALM 47 AND STRAVINSKY'S FIREBIRD at Houston Symphony
What did our critic think of SCHMITT'S PSALM 47 AND STRAVINSKY'S FIREBIRD at Houston Symphony?
Review: KIMBERLY AKIMBO at Hobby Center For The Performing Arts
What did our critic think of KIMBERLY AKIMBO at Hobby Center For The Performing Arts?
Review: KIMBERLY AKIMBO at Broadway At The Hobby Center
This touring production of the 2023 Tony Award winner for Best Musical, KIMBERLY AKIMBO, is based on David Lindsay-Abaire’s play of the same name.
Review: DANCING LESSONS at LIONWOMAN PRODUCTIONS
Michelle Britton seems to be an actor’s director, and DANCING LESSONS allows her artists to be showcased for what they do best.
Review: INCIDENT AT VICHY at Theatre Southwest
INCIDENT AT VICHY is a lesser-known work by the legendary Arthur Miller in which nine men wait in a quiet detention room in Nazi-occupied France, unsure why they’ve been taken, what’s coming next, and who will be spared.
Review: AMERICAN PSYCHO THE MUSICAL at HOUSTON BROADWAY THEATRE
Broadway, film, and television star Robert Lenzi (THE HAPPENING and THE TINA TURNER MUSICAL) is Patrick Bateman for this Houston run.
Review: THE CHOSEN ONES at Thunderclap Productions
The level of professionalism and the sheen on The Chosen Ones is gobsmacking.
Review: CIRCLE MIRROR TRANSFORMATION at MIGHTY ACORN PRODUCTIONS
CIRCLE MIRROR TRANSFORMATION will probably hit hardest with those of us who took drama classes at some point, and were subjected to this uniquely silly torture that acting teachers come up with just to knock us all down a few pegs.
Review: LIFE OF PI at Hobby Center For The Performing Arts
Brilliant projections, realistic animal puppetry, and a cast that seems to do the impossible are currently at the Hobby Center for the Performing Arts in Lolita Chakrabarti and Yann Martel's Life of Pi.
Review: PULLMAN, WA at The Phoenix Group
It probably helps that Domenico Leona is a poet, and that Ashley Galan just knows theater so dang well.
