BWW Review: LITTLE BLACK DRESS at Habima Theatre - These Girls Are On Fire And We're Feeling Good!
by Yuval Gerstner - March 21, 2017
A group of women go on stage wearing white bathrobes and start singing Natural Woman. They slowly begin to remove their bathrobes… only to reveal little black dresses underneath. This act pretty much symbolizes the entire show: A presentation of womanhood in all its aspects. This English On Stage production gives us 70 minutes of some of the world's greatest hits by Adele, Aretha Franklin, Beyoncé, Kate Bush (and more) performed by four talented women and two male musicians, but this is more than just a cover show. It is a cabaret-like musical event for women to celebrate themselves through music in a women's empowerment environment.

BWW Review: THE CITY Sets an Israeli Beat at Haifa's Beat Club
by Ronit Suzan - March 13, 2017
A low lit stage, cynical and sluggish leading character, acoustic background music and realistic lyrics are only a few of the reasons why there's no musical more Israeli today than the Jerusalem based Incubator Theatre's fringe rap opera The City. Perhaps that's why for the past four years this show has become such a phenomenon and now not only has new dates for its national tour but also includes performances with its English version.
