Review: HOME, I'M DARLING at Lyric Arts


by Jared Fessler - June 05, 2026

At first glance, Home, I'm Darling looks like a light comedy wrapped in vintage charm. The dresses are immaculate, the kitchen gleams, and Judy seems perfectly content playing the role of a 1950s housewife. But Laura Wade's Olivier Award-winning play quickly reveals itself to be about much more than...

Review: FEFU AND HER FRIENDS at Theatre Pro Rata


by Jared Fessler - May 28, 2026

Performed inside the Searle Mansion, this production turns the audience into part of the experience. During the second act, everyone splits into smaller groups and moves room to room throughout the house while different scenes happen at the same time.

Review: BRUNO MARS - THE ROMANTIC TOUR at U.S. Bank Stadium


by Jared Fessler - May 14, 2026

Bruno Mars brought nonstop energy to U.S. Bank Stadium on Wednesday night for The Romantic Tour, and honestly, the crowd was hooked from the second he walked onstage. Opening with “Nothin’ on You” was a smart move — it immediately threw everyone back to the early Bruno days, and the entire s...
