BWW Reviews: Martin Kaye 'Should've Been A Doctor'
Saturday, November 1, should go down in the history of Las Vegas entertainment as the night Martin Kaye debuted his own show in the city. And it would be smart of some producer to sign him and find him his own regular showroom....
BWW Reviews: THE NAKED MAGICIANS
Promotional material tells us that at the The Naked Magicians 'Magic + Strip Poker = The Naked Magicians.' But, unlike the show with the same title that has played elsewhere in the world, the cast does wear clothing most of the time (thus avoiding, one imagines, some awkward moments)....

BWW Reviews: KINKY BOOTS at The Smith Center

BWW Reviews: Eric Jordan Young 'Once In A Lifetime'

Those who aren't among the 15,082,028 people (6,398,889 in the United States) in the world's 29,253 congregations of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - the Mormon Church - probably don't know much about that religion.

BWW Reviews: DOG EXPLOSION Marks Terrific Beginning to the NCT Season
It's kind of embarrassing to admit, but it wasn't until the end of last month - after living here for more than eight years - that I discovered the Nevada Conservatory Theatre at the University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV). But, as the cliche goes, better late than never and, though belated, it was a ...
