Review: Mazzoli/Vavrek LINCOLN Is Alive and Well at Met World Premiere under Nez

Review: Mazzoli/Vavrek LINCOLN Is Alive and Well at Met World Premiere under Nezet-Seguin

Opera: Richard Sasanow • October 20, 2026

LINCOLN IN THE BARDO, the world premiere work by Missy Mazzoli and Royce Vavrek, came to the Met last night in a stunning production—and not a moment too soon. It held the audience in its thrall from the opening notes of the overture, with the Met Orchestra in stellar form under music director Yannick Nezer-Seguin, and kept them there.

Review: THE SEVEN WITCHES OF TORRYBURN, Cottiers

Review: THE SEVEN WITCHES OF TORRYBURN, Cottiers

Scotland: Natalie O'Donoghue • October 20, 2026

In 17th Century Torryburn, as the Scottish Witch Trials reach a fevered peak, seven ordinary women are accused of the unthinkable. It’s 1666 and as fear turns neighbour against neighbour, the seven women must risk everything to defend themselves. The Seven Witches of Torryburn is a stark, lyrical reckoning with power, belief and the price of unenlightened times shown truly.

Review: KUNENE AND THE KING at Guthrie Theater

Review: KUNENE AND THE KING at Guthrie Theater

Minneapolis / St. Paul: Joe Sarafolean • October 20, 2026

In most cases, American audiences encounter stories about racial and socioeconomic disparities through a distinctly American lens. However, the Guthrie Theater’s production of Octopus Theatrical’s Kunene and the King, written by Tony Award winner John Kani, offers a different perspective.

Review: THE JAZZ ROOM at Sendesaal Bremen

Review: THE JAZZ ROOM at Sendesaal Bremen

Germany: Konstantin Georgiou • October 20, 2026

The Jazz Room brachte Frank Sinatra und Louis Armstrong in den Bremer Sendesaal. Ein stimmungsvoller Abend mit musikalischen Höhepunkten, kleinen Überraschungen und einem viel zu frühen Ende.

Review: GIRL FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY at Stadttheater Fürth

Review: GIRL FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY at Stadttheater Fürth

Germany: André Böke • October 20, 2026

In a hauntingly atmospheric production, Girl from the North Country transforms Bob Dylan’s songs into a deeply moving portrait of human fragility, shattered dreams and the desperate search for hope in Depression-era America. An outstanding cast brings Conor McPherson’s psychologically rich drama to life, blurring the boundaries between musical theatre and straight drama.

Review: GREAT WHITE THRONE at Renaissance Theaterworks

Review: GREAT WHITE THRONE at Renaissance Theaterworks

Milwaukee, WI: Cathy Jakicic • October 20, 2026

Despite it’s setting in a lavish pink bathroom, the “Great White Throne” in the title of Cara Johnson’s new play is not the porcelain one visible throughout on the stage it’s the one envisioned on high by the two church women played brilliantly by Libby Amato and Marcella Kearns.

Review: Alberta Theatre Projects resurrects EVIL DEAD THE MUSICAL in all its gru

Review: Alberta Theatre Projects resurrects EVIL DEAD THE MUSICAL in all its gruesome glory

Calgary: Amanda Barnum • October 20, 2026

Evil Dead The Musical has plenty of blood and gore for all the horror fans in the audience and thankfully it is so over the top that anyone who is particularly squeamish will find it all to be good, gruesome fun! The brave souls that decided to upgrade to the on-stage splash zone seating were thoroughly drenched by the end of the show.

Review: DRACULA: A COMEDY OF TERRORS at HLC2 Black Box Theater

Austin: Victoria Schwarz • October 20, 2026

ACC Drama sinks its teeth into DRACULA: A COMEDY OF TERRORS at Highland Campus. With saucy vampires, standout performances, and gorgeous Gothic design, this campy romp delivers a bloody good time. Adult humor, blood, and mild violence.

Review: STONEWALL'S BUST at Best Medicine Rep

Review: STONEWALL'S BUST at Best Medicine Rep

Washington, DC: David Friscic • October 20, 2026

An air of merriment and unabashed mayhem pervades the hilarious and totally chaotic, hilarious, satiric comedy Stonewall’s Bust (presented at The Writer’s Center by the Best Medicine Rep). The acting ensemble works comedic wonders under the direction of Evan Morogiello.

Review: MRS. MANNERLY at Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati

Cincinnati: Erin Neal • October 20, 2026

Sharp, funny, and surprisingly touching, Mrs. Mannerly turns a 1960s etiquette class into a laugh-out-loud battle of wits. A wonderfully entertaining night of theater!

Review: Backyard Theatre's RED BIKE at Berger Park Coach House

Review: Backyard Theatre's RED BIKE at Berger Park Coach House

Chicago: Angela Lin • October 19, 2026

Backyard Theatre Company’s production of Red Bike is an enchanting, imaginative story from a kid’s perspective about growing up and seeing the town you’ve grown up in change, and the formative stuff and thoughts that shape who we are as a result.
