Review: GIRL FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY at Broadway at The Hobby Center


by Brett Cullum - May 01, 2024

It is not a flashy musical with special effects and huge dance numbers, but rather a somber meditation on Depression Era America and deep cuts of Bob Dylan’s songbook. It’s brilliant, and it will make you think. It’s akin to watching ghosts sing Americana arias, something you will never quite shake....

Interview: Jeremy Webb of GIRL FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY at BROADWAY AT THE HOBBY CENTER


by Brett Cullum - April 27, 2024

Review: THE CHER SHOW at THEATRE UNDER THE STARS


by Brett Cullum - April 18, 2024

I am unsure if I know of any other music diva who needs three different actresses to play her, but Cher seems to have required that. We have not one, not two, but three Chers in this show. And do they trot on, do their part of life, and leave? Heck no! They all talk to each other, advise each other,...

Interview: ELLA PEREZ of THE CHER SHOW at THEATRE UNDER THE STARS


by Brett Cullum - March 26, 2024

I think the biggest thing I wanted to focus on was not making it like a character and not making it like some tasteless impression. Because I don't know. It's not necessarily what the show is about, and the three of us do a really good job of “a hint of Cher.” But there's still us!...

Review: PATTI LUPONE: A LIFE IN NOTES at BEYOND BROADWAY at the Hobby Center
