BWW Reviews: BAREFOOT IN THE PARK at the Smithtown Center For The Performing Arts
Neil Simon's Tony nominated play Barefoot in the Park is certainly a relatable one; a young, newlywed couple set up house in a new apartment and learn to live together....
BWW Reviews: The Kooky ADDAMS FAMILY At The Gateway
You don't go to see the musical The Addams Family to be moved or inspired; you go for laughs and fun. This iconic brand has been around for quite some time and you will walk out of the theatre thoroughly entertained having seen this show....
BWW Reviews: MY LIFE IS A MUSICAL at the Bay Street Theatre
It is always exciting to say 'I saw the world premiere'. You will have such an opportunity if you catch the hilarious new musical My Life Is A Musical by Adam Overett running through August 31st at Sag Harbor's Bay Street Theatre. It is still in its early stages, but the enthusiastic reception seems...
BWW Reviews: DEATHTRAP at The Engeman
Ira Levin's Deathtrap is no doubt produced often since its Broadway staging in 1978. Therefore, you need something to entice you to see this Tony nominated play and I've just the thing....
BWW Reviews: No Day But Today To See RENT At SoLuna
I'm always cautious in seeing a regional production of Jonathan Larsen's Rent as I have become a Renthead over the years. The thing to remember is art has different interpretations. SoLuna Studio Artistic Director and Owner Karen Braun fantastically directs and choreographs this slightly reimagined ...
BWW Reviews: MARY POPPINS at The Patchogue Theatre
One thing is sure; Mary Poppins remains one of the most popular tales to this day. The iconic story's Tony Award winning musical adaptation is having its Long Island premier at the beautiful Patchogue Theatre running through July 19th....
BWW Reviews: Bay Street's TRAVESTIES
When you see the play Travesties, it will probably make you feel like your brain haywired a bit. Don't worry, though, that's supposed to happen. Tom Stoppard's Tony Award winning play, running through July 20th at Sag Harbor's beautiful Bay Street Theatre, is brilliantly constructed for many 'What?!...
BWW Reviews: Gateway Presents SMOKEY JOE'S CAFE - Rock And Roll in Bellport
If you want a high-energy show, Smokey Joe's Café is definitely for you. The musical revue, on Broadway from 1995-2000, highlights the music of songwriting team Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. The spectacle has forty of their hit songs done back to back including 'Love Potion Number 9', 'Yakity Yak'...
BWW Reviews: MASTER CLASS at Theatre Three
Terrence McNally's Tony award winning play, Master Class, is certainly an enjoyable night of theatre. This dramatic biographical story of opera diva Maria Callas tells a tale of the retired performer as she conducts a master class cultivating new operatic talent. Jeffrey Sanzel splendidly directs th...
BWW Reviews: The World Premier of CONVICTION at Bay Street Theatre
It is always exciting to be able to say 'I saw it first'. It is a favorite aphorism amongst New Yorkers. You, too, will have that opportunity attending the new, up-and-coming play Conviction by Carey Crim performing through June 15th at the lovely Bay Street Theatre of beautiful Sag Harbor, Long Isl...
BWW Reviews: The Gateway's 42ND STREET
You will find it truly refreshing to attend Gateway Theatre's beautiful incarnation of the Tony winning musical 42nd Street. I know what you're thinking... 42nd Street is done frequently... and you are correct. However, the right cast and a top notch director - Broadway's Randy Skinner who had a h...
BWW Reviews: North Fork Community Theatre's INTO THE WOODS
Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine's Tony award winning musical Into the Woods is produced fairly consistently since it premiered on Broadway in 1987. This certainly puts a great deal of pressure on the cast to breathe new life into this theatre staple. Fortunately, Director Brett Chizever, in a stro...
BWW Reviews: SoLuna Studio's XANADU
To see an all-out fun production like Xanadu is certainly a pleasure. The musical, currently running at Hauppauge's SoLuna Studio, is entertaining and the talented cast delivers in all its campy glory. The story, a spoof of the atrocious 1980's movie, follows Kira who sets out to inspire a strugglin...
BWW Reviews: BroadHollow Has Another Hit with LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS
So it seems BroadHollow has another hit on their hands with Little Shop of Horrors. Is this fun and comical production consistently produced? Sure. But that doesn't for anyone mean to miss out on a well-executed show....
BWW Reviews: BroadHollow's THE DROWSY CHAPERONE
The Tony Award winning musical The Drowsy Chaperone, the latest from BroadHollow Theatre Company, is indeed a fascinating piece. I say fascinating because at its entertaining core, it is a show within a show spoofing old musicals. The plot includes mistaken identities, dream sequences, an unexcitabl...
BWW Reviews: Smithtown Center For The Performing Arts' DIAL M FOR MURDER
Being an enthusiast of old movies, I saw Alfred Hitchcock's 1954 film version of Fredrick Knott's Dial M for Murder long before I attended the stage incarnation. I have to say that I actually grew bored with film; the 'thriller' seemed very slow to me. Thankfully, the Smithtown Center for the Perfor...
BWW Reviews: BroadHollow's HELLO, DOLLY!
Hello Dolly!, the multi Tony award winning musical, is probably one every theatre fan should see. Fortunately, the classic theatre staple is the latest offering from the BroadHollow Theatre Company playing their BayWay Theatre until March 2nd continuing to their Elmont location beginning March 8th....
BWW Reviews: The Engeman's OTHER DESERT CITIES
Jon Robin Baitz's Other Desert Cities' is an emotion roller coaster. It is a heart wrenching story set around what is supposed to be a happy time of year and Richard T. Dolce's cast wonderfully delivers at the stunning John W. Engeman Theatre. Running through March 9th at the Northport venue, the pl...
BWW Reviews: Let CMPAC Entertain You with GYPSY
Creative Ministries Performing Arts Centre's (CMPAC) latest musical, Gypsy, is certainly one for the books. The Ronald R. Green III directed production boasts a great cast and a well told story. This classic piece runs through February 9th at the Oakdale, Long Island, venue....
BWW Reviews: SoLuna's Long Island Premiere Of BONNIE & CLYDE
The Long Island premier of Bonnie & Clyde went off without a hitch this past weekend at SoLuna Studio. With a book by Ivan Menchell, the 'biographical' musical of two of the most nutorious gangsters shows true love, the solidarity of family, and unwavering loyalty. Running through January 26th at th...
BWW Reviews: CM PAC's SHREK, THE MUSICAL
Shrek, The Musical is certainly a fun night at the theatre. The cast at Oakdale's Creative Ministries Performing Arts Center (CM PAC) is hysterical, the costumes are unbelievably creative, and the David Lindsay - Abaire story will tug at your heart and make you smile....
BWW Reviews: BroadHollow's MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS
BroadHollow Theatre Company's latest musical, Meet Me in St. Louis, indeed has a talented cast. However, it seems that when I saw it at Studio Theatre, any magic that was there had vanished....
BWW Reviews: IRVING BERLIN'S WHITE CHRISTMAS at the Engeman
Irving Berlin's White Christmas is just the thing to get you into the holiday spirit. Besides a heartfelt story, the beautiful John W. Engeman Theatre of Northport also went all out for an early kickoff to the holiday season. Donning their lobby with Christmas decorations and playing classic Christm...
BWW Reviews: The Engeman's Ongoing Broadway Concert Series
