BWW Reviews: BACK TO BACHARACH AND DAVID at Theatre Three: An Ode To the 60's
Back to Bacharach and David is a nice little gem of a revue. I was vaguely familiar with the music, but not familiar with this particular show prior to seeing it. However, with it being directed by the fantastic Long Island theatre vet Steve McCoy, I knew the audience would be in for a treat....

BWW Reviews: BroadHollow's SHIRLEY VALENTINE at the BayWay
I always love when a random show pops up on the community theatre circuit. It breathes new life into a scene that may run the same show too many times. Some would probably consider BroadHollow Theatre Company's presentation of Willy Russell's Tony Award winning play Shirley Valentine a risk, but the...

Whenever you see a production presented by the Gateway Theatre, you're in for a wonderful event.

BWW Reviews: The World Spins, Sinks and Soars at CAP's NEXT TO NORMAL
There's something to be said for a small theater space. It's intimate, it's personal, and there isn't a bad seat in the place. But with a musical as beautifully tragic and human as Next To Normal, it is downright claustrophobic. A family attempting to overcome the past - a mother suffering from a mo...
BWW Reviews: Let Your HAIR Down at Cultural Arts Playhouse

BWW Reviews: LA CAGE AUX FOLLES At CM PAC of Oakdale - A Fabulous Night To Be Had
One of the best things about Harvey Fierstein and Jerry Hermans' La Cage' Aux Folles is that it is a fun show. I was even asked if I had a feather boa to bring with me.

BWW Reviews: Lantern's THE CEMETERY CLUB Shows the Humanity of Theatre
If anyone overheard the conversation in Ida's Queen's apartment, they might assume they were listening to a bunch of gal pals in their early 30s giggling and chatting over dating, men, and buying secondhand furs. But as we find in Ivan Menchell's The Cemetery Club, the last production in Lantern The...
