Review: ESPEJOS: CLEAN at Milwaukee Repertory Theater
by Sofia Ascorbe - April 16, 2025
When my friend and I carpooled to this show on opening night, we briefly discussed what we imagined the plot to be. With the hit HBO show’s finale buzzing around, we wondered aloud: “will this be White Lotus-esque?” To our surprise, and delight, the play not only comments on wealth and class inequities, but also tells a deeper, unifying story of the lives of two women and their circumstances, struggles, hopes, and messy human condition.

Review: FINDING NEMO is a Totally Tubular Must-See Musical at FIRST STAGE
by Kelsey Lawler - March 12, 2025
If you take your littles to one show this spring, make it Finding Nemo at First Stage. This “theatre for young audiences” version of the classic Disney & Pixar film is a musical adventure featuring book, music, and lyrics by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez—the dream team behind Frozen. The music is catchy, and the epic tale of a clown fish father trying to find his lost little fish in the big blue ocean is nicely compacted into a 75-minute (with intermission) spectacle.
