Review: ESCAPE TO MARGARETAVILLE at Cornwell’s Turkeyville

Review: A GENTLEMAN’S GUIDE TO LOVE AND MURDER at Avon Players

Review: DANCING WITH THE STARS LIVE at Fox Theatre
it’s hard for me to pick a favorite performance of the night, but if I had to pick one that stands out, it was when Brandon Armstrong and Britt Stewart danced to Hit Me With A Hot Note And Watch Me Bounce. Every season, I see these two get criminally overlooked on the show! Brandon Armstrong is a …
