Review: STAGOLEE AND THE FUNERAL OF A DANGEROUS WORD at MAIN STREET THEATER
STAGOLEE AND THE FUNERAL OF A DANGEROUS WORD is a wonderful meditation on the power of words, folklore, and the human condition.
Review: THE OUTSIDER Charms at the MATCH from MIGHTY ACORN And WCO PRODUCTIONS
Part of the genius of THE OUTSIDER is it is pure farce.
Review: PATTI LUPONE: A LIFE IN NOTES at BEYOND BROADWAY at the Hobby Center
Patti Lupone has always known how to merge pop culture with her theatrical training, and she can craft a story around any song she chooses.
Review: THE DIVAS BALL at Vincent Victoria Presents
It’s fun, a bit quirky, and has a Fellini-sized cast that should make your head spin in all the right ways.
Review: THE NERD Waxes Nostalgic at ALLEY THEATRE
THE NERD is frankly still THE NERD, and the director, Brandon Weinbrenner, doesn’t reinvent much of anything.
Review: Alexis Scheer's LAUGHS IN SPANISH Delivers in Hilarity and Heart at Stages
Explore the insightful play Laughs in Spanish at STAGES, a captivating blend of humor and cultural exploration.
Review: Denise Fennell-Pasqualone Once Again Strikes Comedy Gold with World Premiere of SISTER'S IRISH CATECHISM: SAINTS, SNAKES, AND GREEN MILKSHAKES
For the “Late Nite Catechism” series of shows, actors dress up as a character named “Sister” and lead their audiences through a “class” full of audience interaction.
Review: IT IS MAGIC at Catastrophic Theatre
IT IS MAGIC is far from false advertising because this play, this cast, and this team make some pretty strong magic from Mickle Maher’s latest play.
Review: NORA HAHN CRAFTFULLY BRINGS ANN RICHARDS TO LIFE IN GARDEN THEATRE'S PRODUCTION OF ANN
The Garden Theatre is currently presenting ANN, a one-woman show highlighting the life of the prolific Texas governor, Ann Richards.
Review: ON YOUR FEET! at Theatre Under the Stars
This is a beautifully cast show full of authentic Latin performers.
Review: O: A RHAPSODY IN DIVORCE at MILDRED'S UMBRELLA
O: A RHAPSODY IN DIVORCE does what any good play sets out to do; it makes you feel.
Review: TINA - THE TINA TURNER MUSICAL Rolls into Broadway at The Hobbby Center
The show is a jukebox musical that tells the story of Tina’s career and incorporates some of her biggest hits to do so.
Review: 8 STEPS TO HEAVEN Gets Funky At Vincent Victoria Presents
Yet in the end, EIGHT NOTES TO HEAVEN is just a joyous ride.
Review: CINDERELLA at THEATRE UNDER THE STARS
What I admire most about TUTS is their willingness to cast local Houston talent of all levels, and allowing them to work on a show with musical theater professionals from around the country.
Review: SENSE & SENSIBILITY at 4TH WALL THEATRE COMPANY
What did our critic think of SENSE & SENSIBILITY at 4TH WALL THEATRE COMPANY? I have a feeling the creators of Netflix’s BRIDGERTON saw Kate Hamill’s musical update of SENSE & SENSIBILITY in 2014 and understood what they had to do to make Regency era romance work for a new generation.
Review: MJ - Yet Another Bio-Jukebox Musical, but A Dazzling Performance Nonetheless
'MJ' was a slick production with an extremely talented cast who executed some elite singing and dancing, and I know that the show is a crowd-favorite currently with numerous Tony Awards under its belt.
Review: THE TURN OF THE SCREW messes with the truth at CATASTROPHIC THEATRE
But one thing I promise you, you have never seen it done like this before.
Review: GEORGIANA AND KITTY: CHRISTMAS AT PEMBERLY at MAIN STREET THEATER
There is a distinct charm to GEORGIANA AND KITTY that makes the audience feel like they are invited for Christmas at Pemberly.
Review: SWEENEY TODD: THE DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET at TUTS
Of the many things I could compliment about TUTS’ production of Sweeney Todd (the songs, the costumes, the lighting) perhaps the most important is that it’s authentic.
Review: SWITZERLAND at STAGES HOUSTON
I was expecting a thriller along the lines of MISERY, but in the end the psychological aspects of SWITZERLAND are such that make it a chiller instead.
Review: WAITING FOR GODOT at CATASTROPHIC THEATRE
You are never going to see a more definitive version of this show in Houston, and CATASTROPHIC is the company to bring it to you.
Review: THE LARAMIE PROJECT at THEATRE SUBURBIA
They have a mix of genders, races, and experience levels to work with.
