Review: The Evidence Points to CLUE at Old National Centre with Endless Laughter

Review: SINGIN' IN THE RAIN at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre
The stage version of the 1952 musical is back, and many of the previous cast members are revising their roles.

Review: PRETTY WOMAN: THE MUSICAL at Beef & Boards Delivers Charm & Laughs
PRETTY WOMAN became a beloved classic as a film. It had an undeniable chemistry between the actors and a balance of hard and soft moments that drew audiences in. It’s always a question if a film turned into a musical can have the same effect....
Review: BORROWED BABIES at American Lives Theatre
A world premiere, a Hoosier playwright, and a little piece of fascinating but overlooked history. Borrowed Babies has all the makings of a great play.

Review: MJ THE MUSICAL Brings Unmatchable Energy to the Old National Centre
MJ THE MUSICAL could be summed up in two words: jukebox musical. But that is a disservice to this powerhouse of a show. MJ THE MUSICAL has incredible intensity, depth, and intentionality that brings out the man behind the myth. It is a remarkable tribute to a true musical visionary and what makes hi...

Review: LES MISÉRABLES at Clowes Memorial Hall
It is iconic. It is legendary. It is soul-stirring. LES MISÉRABLES has captivated audiences since it debuted in 1980 in Paris, France as a French-language musical. It draws in audience members of course, but it also draws in exceptional talent. Each production relies on the passion of its performer...

Review: THE 39 STEPS at Indiana Repertory Theatre
It’s not often you get a peek behind the curtain as an audience member in the theater. I was able to glimpse behind the scenes of the Indiana Repertory Theater’s latest production The 39 Steps. It’s impossible not to have a greater appreciation for a production when you see the actual hammerin...
Review: A Heartthrob with Heart: HEARTBREAK HOTEL at Beef & Boards
Some artists have staying power for a few years or even a decade, but not many have captured the level of admiration, imitation, and attention as Elvis Presley. HEARTBREAK HOTEL explores the life that shaped “The King of Rock and Roll”....
Review: WAITRESS at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre
Waitress is one of the rare non-musical movies that transitions to the stage with ease. The show is currently on stage at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre and features a score by Sara Bareilles, filled with heart. It tells the story of a woman, trapped by her circumstances, who longs for another life....

Review: NINA SIMONE: FOUR WOMEN at Indiana Repertory Theatre
The success of this production rests on the voices of the actresses and what a success it is! Without incredible singers, the rest falls flat. Each of the four give beautiful performances, but it was the voices of Akili Ni Mali as Nina Simone and Jamecia Bennett as Sarah that brought the house down....

Review: MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre
The show’s farcical first half works because the second sticks the landing. Agatha Christie was the master of the big reveal, and this is one of her best. It all comes together beautifully in the final moments....
