Review: ROMEO AND JULIET at Milwaukee Rep
by Cathy Jakicic - March 02, 2025
Moving Shakespeare’s classic plays to different, usually more modern, environs is not new — and doesn’t always make the transition with losing something in translation, but the Milwaukee Rep’s “Romeo and Juliet” — presented in Appalachian dress and accented with bluegrass, folk and country music — is a most successful pairing – unlike the titular lovers.

Review: Musical THE CRAIC is Snug Irish Fun at MILWAUKEE REP
by Kelsey Lawler - January 24, 2025
To say The Milwaukee Rep’s The Craic is good fun would be redundant. The word “craic” (pronounced crack) essentially means “fun” in Irish. This world premier written by Mark Clements and Deanie Vallone is not just good fun, but also a cozy theatrical hug. The Craic invites us out of the bleak midwinter to a space filled with the warm voices, oustanding instrumentalists, easy laughter, toe-tapping trad tunes, and heart-tugging ballads.
