Previews: AMERICAN PSYCHO THE MUSICAL at Houston Broadway Theatre
by Brett Cullum - July 30, 2025
Strip away the horror and the Patrick Bateman of it all, and it's ultimately a story about identity. The whole show is really about the bastardization of the American dream. It's about glamour, money, who's got the best clothes, and who goes to the best restaurants.

Interview: Kristina Sullivan of THE LAST FIVE YEARS at Queensbury Theatre
by Brett Cullum - July 21, 2025
It’s fascinating. I remember the first time I was introduced to the show, and, like my mind, was blown by the device. If you read Jason Robert Brown, it's almost like he just kind of stumbled on it. I thought it would be a cool thing to do. But it's so novel.

Interview: Meaghan Heath of IOLANTHE at Gilbert And Sullivan Society Of Houston
by Armando Urdiales - July 18, 2025
For Meaghan, stepping into the title role of Iolanthe with the Gilbert and Sullivan Society of Houston is more than just a chance to don wings and enchant an audience—it’s a full-circle moment years in the making.

by Brett Cullum - July 16, 2025
So what’s the deal with all of these CRABS running around Midtown and terrorizing folks in the area? It is all part of one of the MOST talked about pieces in Houston right now. In my ten years of writing for BROADWAYWORLD, I have never gotten so many emails requesting we cover a show.
Review: PARADE at Broadway at The Hobby Center
by Brett Cullum - July 16, 2025
PARADE asks a lot of its audience. There are moments when a song is so rousing and well-sung, but then you realize the material is uncomfortable, and you wonder if you should cheer or stay absolutely quiet.

Interview: Paige Hathaway of THE MIRROR CRACK'D at Alley Theatre
by Brett Cullum - July 15, 2025
So the challenge with this show is, it is not just one location. It's like Miss Marple's cottage. It's a movie studio. It's a dressing room and a soundstage in the filming studio. And then there's this enormous manor called Gossington Hall.
