Review: GEORGE & GRACIE: A LOVE STORY at Milwaukee Rep
Actor/writer Tami Workentin wrote the play (her first) for herself and her real life husband, James Pickering. The jokes (with a bit of music and history thrown in) can fast and furious,. You could almost hear the rim shot....

What did our critic think of REVIEW: CAMILLE'S RAINBOW AT MILWAUKEE OPERA THEATRE at Milwaukee Opera Theatre?...
Review: IS THIS A ROOM? at Milwaukee Chamber Theatre
Is This a Room is theater of a sort most people, including me, have never seen. It’s a one-act verbatim play drawn entirely (word-for-word, pause-for-pause, cough-for-cough) from the actual FBI transcript of the 2017 interrogation of Reality Winner, a former Air Force linguist accused of leaking...

Review: LOVABYE DRAGON is a Lovable Adventure for Littles at FIRST STAGE
Once there was a girl, an all-alone girl, who didn’t have a dragon for a friend. But all of that is about to change in First Stage’s Lovabye Dragon, an enchanting musical adventure on stage through February 15th at Milwaukee Youth Arts Center. ...
Review: AMADEUS at Skylight Music Theatre
In Peter Shaffer’s play, “Amadeus,” unfulfilled composer Antonio Salieri calls himself “the patron saint of mediocrity.” This is the last word you’d associate with Skylight Musical Theatre’s impressive production....
Review: THE LEHMAN TRILOGY is an Epic, Exceptional Experience at MILWAUKEE REP
A head, an arm, and a potato walk into America circa 1850. Theirs is a century-spanning story of the rise and collapse of a business empire. It’s The Lehman Trilogy, winner of five Tony Awards, including Best Play. It’s three acts, three actors, three epic hours of theater now on stage at the Mi...

Review: MURDER GIRL at Milwaukee Chamber Theatre
As I walked into Studio Theatre at the Broadway Theatre Center, a neon sign reading “Marty’s Supper Club” prominently sat next to a scene with strung indoor Christmas lights, wood paneled walls, Packers memorabilia, and local beer signs. The low buzz of the lights hummed from Lisa Schlenker’...
Review: Bright & Upbeat JOSEPH is a Treat at SKYLIGHT
A coat of many colors, a musical of many genres—Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is nonstop fun at Skylight Music Theatre. The cast is fantastic, particularly when they’re all together tearing it up on stage....
Review: COME FROM AWAY at Milwaukee Repertory Theater
On a chilly Saturday evening in Milwaukee, we were transported to a culture filled with local beer, boiled cod dishes, cold, snowy winters, and dialectical quirks…not too far a jump for a Wisconsinite, at first glance....
Review: After 40 Years, LES MISERABLES Remains a Joy
If you’ve seen Les Miserables many times over the years, you might wonder if you really have to go again. Is it worth it? Should I bother? Yes it is, and yes you should. The show remains so special, so strong, and even after years of repeat viewings? It’s never not worth it.
