Review Roundup: Did CATS in London Make The Critics Purr With Delight?

Review Roundup: Did CATS in London Make The Critics Purr With Delight?

Aliya Al-Hassan • August 7, 2026

There's no better way to introduce your family to the wonders of live theatre than with the magic, the mystery, the memory of Cats. What began as a musical about cats after Andrew Lloyd Webber picked up a book of poems in an airport bookshop has become one of the longest running shows in Broadway's history. Winner of seven Tony Awards including Best Musical, Cats features 20 of Andrew Lloyd Webber's timeless melodies, including the hit song 'Memory.' What did the critics think of Drew McOnie's new production?

Review: VANYA AND SONIA AND MASHA AND SPIKE at Masquers Playhouse

Review: VANYA AND SONIA AND MASHA AND SPIKE at Masquers Playhouse

San Francisco / Bay Area: Kelly Rogers Flynt • September 5, 2026

VANYA and SONIA and MASHA and SPIKE is a delightful romp with equal measures of nostalgia and hope for the future. With rapid-fire dialogue and pitch-perfect timing, the cast bring the script by Christopher Durang to life.

Review: Black Cat Theatre's ELEPHANT IN THE WOMB at Theater Wit

Review: Black Cat Theatre's ELEPHANT IN THE WOMB at Theater Wit

Chicago: Angela Lin • September 4, 2026

Elephant in the Womb somehow strikes a perfect balance between inappropriate humor, social commentary, and tasteful fourth wall breaking that will leave you feeling uncomfortable, pensive, and warm and fuzzy all at once.

Review: LES MISÉRABLES at Folketeateret

Review: LES MISÉRABLES at Folketeateret

Norway: Christian Ranke • September 4, 2026

Scenekvelder’s new Les Misérables trusts the score without treating it as a museum piece. Dark, modern and deeply felt, it finds new images for the story while remaining faithful to the form that gives it power. Les Misérables is so familiar that a new production can easily become either a careful reproduction or an argument with its own material. Guy Unsworth’s staging for Scenekvelder finds the more rewarding path between them. It honours the images and emotions audiences bring to the theatre, yet places them in a visual world with a force and logic of its own. The result feels timeless because it understands the past rather than trying to escape it.

Review: 1984, Citizens Theatre

Scotland: Natalie O'Donoghue • September 4, 2026

Austin: Sabrina Wallace • September 3, 2026

City Theatre Austin’s Avenue Q brings its mischievous neighborhood to life with a fabulous ensemble, expressive puppetry, strong vocals, and a clever, functional set. The cast delivers the musical’s irreverent comedy and surprisingly heartfelt story with energy, skill, and plenty of personality.

Review: MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG at Signature Theatre

Review: MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG at Signature Theatre

Washington, DC: Aidan O'Connor • September 3, 2026

Merrily We Roll Along tackles these behemoth existentialisms at a granular level in the lives of three old friends. It’s one of those shows that leaves you with something to ponder for days after the lights come up. In Signature Theatre’s hands, Stephen Sondheim and George Furth’s masterpiece is more intricate than ever before.

Review: THE WHITE CHIP at Marin Theatre

Review: THE WHITE CHIP at Marin Theatre

San Francisco / Bay Area: Steve Murray • September 3, 2026

 Marin Theatre opens its 60th season with a bang – a sobering dark comedy from director, writer and former California Shakespeare Theatre Associate Artistic Director Sean Daniels. Chronicling the dark ride of self-delusion into alcoholism, Daniels’ semiautobiographical story is beautifully executed by director Lance Gardner who will be celebrating twenty years of sobriety himself.

Review: SENSE & SENSIBILITY at Hutt Repertory Theatre

New Zealand: Neil Brewer • September 3, 2026

Sense and Sensibility is Jane Austen's classic novel, first published anonymously in 1811. Set within the social constraints of Regency England, it follows the fortunes and romantic entanglements of sisters Elinor and Marianne Dashwood. Through their contrasting temperaments, Austen explores the tension between reason and emotion, while offering a sharp commentary on class, reputation, and the pursuit of happiness.

Review: ART at Baxter Flipside

Review: ART at Baxter Flipside

South Africa: Kim R2 • September 3, 2026

Marthinus Basson's ART turns a blank canvas into a friendship-ending grenade. Van der Walt, Pretorius and Binge are superb. Hilarious, precise, and unexpectedly cutting.
