May 12, 2022

Dear Evan Hansen has been a long-awaited show for this reviewer and it did not disappoint.

BWW Review: WICKED at Overture Center

March 18, 2020

It turns out, not long. It was their final performance for the foreseeable future.

BWW Review: A BRONX TALE at The Overture Center

May 18, 2019

I had the pleasure of seeing A Bronx Tale with my friend Cassy, who had NEVER seen a musical before! (I know, right?!) I invited Cassy because the 1993 movie, off which the musical is based, is her favorite. Seriously, her cat is named Calogero, after the lead character in both the movie and the play. I was excited to see this show, and especially excited to see it through the eyes of a neophyte theater goer. I was not disappointed!
