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.
Review: Feminist Farce 'POTUS: OR, BEHIND EVERY GREAT DUMBASS ARE SEVEN WOMEN TRYING TO KEEP HIM ALIVE' is a Joyful Rollercoaster of Hilarity While Asking Real Questions
'POTUS: Or, Behind Every Great Dubmass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive' is described as a 'feminist farce', which I think is the best definition of this delectable piece.
Review: MEDEA at Classical Theatre Company
Callina is always a smart actress, and she mines this mythical lady for something more than simple madness.
Review: FAR EAST at On the Verge Theatre
The thing about FAR EAST is the emotional stakes are never high.
Review: JAGGED LITTLE PILL at Theatre Under The Stars
JAGGED LITTLE PILL is half brilliant and half hackneyed, but there are moments when it is dizzyingly great.
Review: BONNIE & CLYDE at The Garden Theatre
Just a reminder, the MATCH complex in Houston has some of the best air conditioning around.
Review: 1776 Delivers The Founding 'Mothers' At Theatre Under the Stars
I teasingly have been calling this 1776 - THE FOUNDING MOTHERS EDITION all week, and it is finally here at the Hobby Center brought in by Theatre Under the Stars.
Review: PRESENT LAUGHTER dazzles at MAIN STREET THEATER
PRESENT LAUGHTER gets a stunning revival at Main Street Theater with a returning director and leading man remounting the show with a power packed cast.
Review: THE HOUSE OF PATRICK at Vincent Victoria Presents
It fuses music, fashion shows, and simply fun lively scenes that turn THE HOUSE OF PATRICK into a … well… house party! The energy is high, and the show is a ton of fun.
Review: TAMARIE'S TOTALLY TRUE REVUE (PLUS LIES TOO!) at The Catastrophic Theatre
You see this year is all about truth and honesty, and examining what that means to Tamarie and her squad.
Review: A MAROON'S GUIDE TO TIME AND SPACE Gets Funky with Abolition at Catastrophic Theatre
This isn’t a play, it’s some sort of intergalactic space time hiccup that just happens at the MATCH complex to kick off your summer.
Review: WICKED THE MUSICAL at Hobby Center For The Performing Arts
Wicked: The Musical has been enchanting audiences worldwide for years, and the current touring production is no exception.
