Review: CAMELOT at The John W. Engeman Theater

Review: FIDDLER ON THE ROOF at Plaza Theatrical
The classic showstopper, FIDDLER ON THE ROOF at Plaza Theatrical in Elmont is not to be missed! A deeply experienced director, Kevin F. Harrington pulled no punches with this production.

Review: YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN at Theatre Three
The story follows the grandson of Victor Frankenstein, Frederick, as a trip to Transylvania becomes less about sorting his dead grandfather’s estate and more about taking up the family business of accidental monster making. To help him in his quest, Frederick has a team of quirky personalities who...

Review: THE PRINCE OF EGYPT at The Argyle Theatre

Review: THE 39 STEPS at Theatre Three

Review: SCHOOL OF ROCK at Cultural Arts Playhouse-Merrick
With a central character seemingly a charming, albeit selfish, peccadillo who goes on redemption journey to connect his passion with his dreams, “School of Rock,” brings humor, honor, and hype to the standing up for yourself no matter how “acceptable” the responsible path is presented....
Review: JAGGED LITTLE PILL: THE MUSICAL at Smithtown Performing Arts Center
The sweeping music and frenetic choreography of a musical and the arrow-piercing drama of a straight play are rarely found together in the same production, but “Jagged Little Pill: the Musical” currently playing at the Smithtown Performing Arts Center through April 19, is a rare melding of those...
Review: THE BODYGUARD at John W. Engeman Theater
What did our critic think of THE BODYGUARD at John W. Engeman Theater?...
Review: FIDDLER ON THE ROOF at The Lighthouse Repertory Theatre Company
A bucolic tale of a small community—almost like the town square that Belle from Beauty and the Beast goes through—that makes a sharp turn into human rights violations, “Fiddler on the Roof” asks quite a bit from its actors to go from whimsical country life to a terrified ousted community dee...
Review: CATS at CM Performing Arts Center
Feisty felines compete for centerstage through dance and song, with nary a meow as this show features no human characters. Currently playing at the CM Performing Arts Center in Oakdale is a mammoth of the musical theater repertory, “CATS.”...
Review: MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS at Star Playhouse At Stage 74
In celebration of the 50th anniversary of Agatha Christie’s death, theaters across Long Island have been producing great works of the beloved mystery author true to the heritage of Christie and the spirit of her creativity....
Review: ANNIE at Merrick Theatre And Center For The Arts
The opening night production of “Annie” on Friday, March 6 at the Merrick Theatre & Center for the Arts marked the fourth viewing of the scrappy, upstart orphan I’ve seen this winter alone (there was actually a fifth I could’ve reviewed if BroadwayWorld hired me two weeks earlier)....
Review: FIDDLER ON THE ROOF at Cultural Arts Playhouse-SYOSSET
A devastatingly timely production of “Fiddler on the Roof,” by Cultural Arts Playhouse in Syosset brings us to the small, earnest existence of Anatevka, a Jewish town in the Russian empire during the tumultuous turn of the century....
Review: GODSPELL at Theatre Three
With theatre that touches upon the religious, it can be tricky to strike a balance between artistry and accuracy that carries the audience’s imagination instead of accidentally shunning creativity....
Review: AND THEN THERE WERE NONE at South Shore Theatre Experience
With exuberant dramatic tension and ballroom fluidity in blocking, the South Shore Theatre Experience’s production of “And Then There Were None” was filled with tension, retribution, and an impressive number of blood packets....
Review: NEWSIES at The Argyle Theatre
A musical forged in ambition of set, stage, and stamina, director Tommy Ranieri’s vision of a world only beginning to stand up for their rights was sprawling and spectacular. Unlike other versions of “Newsies,” Rainieri’s production had a maturity that touched the cast’s characters to trul...
Review: RENT at Cultural Arts Playhouse Merrick
Teenaged theater kids of my generation (elder millennial) loved “Rent.” It was youth-culture, it was edgy, and introduced to many of us suburban kids the magic of New York City where gay men, lesbian women, drag queens, and matinee-idol heteros could all be friends and love each other as family....
Review: RING OF FIRE at John W. Engeman Theater
The John E. Engeman Theater found not only one, but five such super-talented individuals for their retrospective and introspective production of “Ring of Fire,” a musical based on the life of Johnny Cash....
