Review: SWEENEY TODD: THE DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET at Playhouse On The Square
The 2025–2026 season at Playhouse on the Square could be summed up in one word: Renaissance. The overall quality of the productions, the size of the audiences, and the standard of excellence have all finally returned after suffering noticeably from the far‑reaching effects of the Covid pandemic.…

Review: DREAMGIRLS at Hattiloo Theatre
The city of Memphis is 63% African American. The nation’s first Black newspaper began here under the leadership of Ida B. Wells. The 1968 Sanitation Workers’ Strike brought Martin Luther King Jr. to this city, leading to his assassination and dramatically accelerating the national civil rights m…
