Review: A CHORUS LINE at Barrington Stage Company

Review: A CHORUS LINE at Barrington Stage Company

Boston: Marc Savitt • July 22, 2026

The musical numbers overall are so well executed it would be unfair to single out any over the rest. One could almost see the high-quality performance throughout this production as an issue. Although, the premise suggests the cast, with the exception of one or two individuals, are all young and inexperienced, most of them come across as well seasoned professionals that certainly deliver the goods.

Review: FOOTLOOSE THE MUSICAL at Murry's Dinner Playhouse in Little Rock

Review: FOOTLOOSE THE MUSICAL at Murry's Dinner Playhouse in Little Rock

Arkansas: Theresa Bertram • July 22, 2026

There is something wonderfully bittersweet about watching Footloose the Musical at Murry's Dinner Playhouse, which runs through August 15. This high-energy production is already an entertaining night at the theater, but knowing that it also serves as a farewell for several of my favorite young performers before they head off to universities across the country this fall adds another layer of emotion.
