Review: JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT at Rochester Opera House
Among the heavy hitters of the Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice catalog, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat doesn’t always carry the same somber weight as Phantom of the Opera or Jesus Christ Superstar. That’s likely because Webber originally penned it at the tender age of 20 as a mode...
Review: THE CHILDREN at The Players' Ring
What starts as a casual catch-up among old colleagues spirals into something much heavier, darker, and deeply haunting in Lucy Kirkwood’s The Children, now playing at the Players’ Ring in Portsmouth. In the famously intimate confines of the Ring—where the actors are often close enough to breat...
Review: ALTAR BOYZ at Seacoast Repertory Theatre
At Seacoast Repertory Theatre, the current production of Altar Boyz plays less like a traditional musical and more like a full-on concert experience—loud, fast, and packed with driving beats and body-bending choreography.t did our critic think of ALTAR BOYZ at Seacoast Repertory Theatre?...
Review: THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE at Seacoast Repertory Theatre
There is something immediately disarming about “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.” It doesn’t arrive with spectacle or grand stakes; there are no sweeping romances or life-or-death consequences. Instead, it gives you a handful of awkward kids, a gymnasium, and a spelling competition....
Review: DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS at Seacoast Repertory Theatre
There’s one thing that the Seacoast Repertory Theatre knows how to do very well. It’s transforming their intimate, brick-walled space in Portsmouth into a world that feels ten times its actual size. Their current production of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels—the 2005 musical based on the Steve Martin/...
Review: ELF THE MUSICAL at Seacoast Repertory Theatre
What did our critic think of ELF THE MUSICAL at Seacoast Repertory Theatre? “Elf” at the Rep succeeds because the theatre thrives on great storytelling with very believable cast members. Consider this a holiday treat not to be missed....
Review: YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN at Rochester Opera House
At the Rochester Opera House, currently hosting a rollicking production of the musical Young Frankenstein, the formula is simple. Give reverence to a film classic, add equal parts of infectious energy by outstanding talent and the result is non-stop laughter....

Review: INTO THE WOODS at Seacoast Repertory Theatre
Some fairy tales are all sunshine and happy ever afters. You know the ones. A damsel in distress finds her prince, they ride off into the sunset, and all their problems conveniently disappear. But Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine were never ones for simple stories....
Review: A MAN OF NO IMPORTANCE at Players' Ring
The Players' Ring in Portsmouth, in its latest offering, invites audiences into the unassuming yet profoundly resonant world of “A Man of No Importance.” This 2002 musical, with its tender book by Terrence McNally and the soaring melodies of Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens, (They wrote the musi...
Review: CINDERELLA at Seacoast Repertory Theatre
There is simply no denying this updated and witty adaptation from Douglas Carter Beane (Xanadu and Sister Act), who has taken a few liberties with the classic story that takes it from its sugar-frosted traditional tale to a modern story with a satirical edge. His script combines sweetness, freshness...
Review: THE WEDDING SINGER at Seacoast Repertory Theatre
With neon lighting, big hair, shoulder pads, and swagger, the Seacoast Repertory Theatre is journeying back to 1985, a time of change when the first mobile phones are big, bulky, and carried proudly by the upward moving yuppies of the time....
Review: SISTER ACT at Seacoast Repertory Theatre
It is strangely magical that audiences love shows that take playful jabs at nuns. Remember “Late Night Catechism,” a nostalgic visit with a substitute teacher in a parish catechism class that’s highly interactive. And Christoper Durang wrote a scathing satire “Sister Mary Ignatius Explains I...
Review: THE NUTCRACKER at Seacoast Repertory Theatre
The Seacoast Repertory Theatre's production of 'The Nutcracker' is a delightful reimagining of the classic ballet that creates a very different holiday magic....

Review: CATS at Seacoast Repertory Theatre
I was never fond of Cats. But after seeing it performed at the Seacoast Repertory Theatre, my viewpoint has changed forever. This production is spectacular!...
Review: LIZZIE at Seacoast Repertory Theatre
What Seacoast Repertory Theatre's production of “Lizzie” is a mind blowing, electrifying journey into the heart of an historical New England mystery that took place in Fall River, Massachusetts. The show is based on the infamous Lizzie Borden case of 1892 (Remember “Lizzie Borden had an ax and...
Review: FRANKENSTEIN at Seacoast Repertory Theatre
You can always count on the Seacoast Repertory Theatre to stage productions that are out of the mainstream, out of the ordinary, and that challenge audiences in new ways. This is very apparent is its current production of Nick Dear's adaptation of Mary Shelley's “Frankenstein.” It is a dark and ...
Review: MAN OF LA MANCHA at the Peterborough Players
The Peterborough Players ends a record breaking season with a production of “Man of La Mancha,” starring Scott Bakula (From television in, “Quantum Leap,” “Star Trek Enterprise,” and “NCIS:New Orleans”) and his wife, Chelsea Field (best known Rita Devereaux in “NCIS:New Orleans�...
Review: AGATHA CHRISTIE'S GO BACK FOR MURDER at The Barnstormers Theatre
Agatha Christie's “Go Back for Murder” is more than just a whodunit. It's a psychological exploration of memory, guilt, and the blurred lines between truth and perception currently playing at the Barnstormers Theatre in its historic venue in Tamworth....
Review: ROCK OF AGES at Seacoast Repertory Theatre
