The latest reviews and critic recommendations from Milwaukee, WI.
It had been a staggering 701 days since the Milwaukee Rep's last performance of A Christmas Carol, but this holiday tradition is back at the Pabst and as fantastic as ever.
'Isn't there anyone who knows what Christmas is all about?' Sure, Charlie Brown, I can tell you what Christmas is all about: families making memories together, talking about what the holiday season means to them, and showing those on the sidelines a little love, care, and attention.
An unconventional holiday treat is on stage at Milwaukee's Skylight Music Theatre through January 2nd.
This show strikes a perfect emotional balance that steals your heart and splits your sides.
At the intersection of Packer fandom, Wisconsin pride, and musical theater lies Dad’s Season Tickets.
Going blindly into The Constructivists' Wink was the right choice.
It takes big-time guts to bare your butt cheeks on stage, and these guys bare more than that.
Midsummer makes smiles and laughter easy.
A scintillating, scatting, sensational return to live theater -- who could ask for anything more? The Milwaukee Rep delivers a heaping portion of the good stuff in the triumphant 'First Lady of Song,' a concert salute to America’s favorite jazz singer, Ella Fitzgerald.
The On Demand experience is nicely handled and smoothly filmed.
The music video for The Sound opens with footage of 2020’s Black Lives Matter protests.
This is a choose-your-own-adventure play, and First Stage rigged it so that audiences could vote by phone to help our hero Callaway Brown make key decisions: Should he pack his inhaler or his eyeglasses? Follow mysterious footsteps or radio for help?
In their sixth collaboration, Directors Jill Anna Ponasik and Dani Kuepper take the theatrics to an Enchanted Park(ing lot).
Take the little ones to see this show for the laughs, the silliness, and the kind of theater for which we only have the kids to thank.
The bottom line is: 'Spelling Bee' is a feel-good musical comedy that could fall flat if not cast right.
I always expect greatness from 'The Lion King.
Days later I'm craving the songs, the performances a?" to witness the staging once more, to see what else I can pick up on, or to experience what new twist Rodin will bring to another evening's show.
It makes for a most dynamic piece of theater.
Milwaukee, have your dollar bills handy! Though it's only been on stage since 2014, Matthew Lopez's Georgia McBride is on its way to becoming a bonafide dragtastic legend.
Is there anything the Milwaukee Opera Theatre touches that doesn't turn to gold? Their latest collaboration with Skylight Music Theatre is Gilbert and Sullivan's Ruddigore, a sweet, hilarious, melodramatic comic opera made exceedingly charming under the inspired watch of co-directors Jill Anna Ponas
First Stage has given us all an early Christmas present in Elf the Musical.
Now in its 44th year, this production is firmly rooted in tradition.
Overall, this is a play about the young having their voices heard.
The thing about 'The Nerd' is it's a farce, which The Rep's audience guide breaks down as a?oea specific style of comedy characterized by unlikely predicaments, verbal humor, mistaken identities, and physical comedy.
It's a hoot! The answer to your prayers! Five nuns on stage, four in the freezer!
