BWW Review: WICKET at Performing Arts San Antonio
by Ashley Corbaley on March 24, 2019 in San Antonio A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away… or to be more accurate now playing at Performing Arts San Antonio, comes WICKET, a hilarious new musical. Parodying the Star Wars movies we all know and love, this mad spectacle is a farce to be reckoned with. While based on the events that take place during "The Return of the Jedi," WICKET tells the untold 'true' story of the Ewoks and their quest to help Princess Leia while also protecting themselves from becoming plush dolls. It is none other than the smallest Ewok, Wicket, who proves that he has what it takes to save the day. Featuring a catchy score, entertaining choreography and a plethora of jokes that will make your side hurt from laughter, WICKET is truly unlike anything you have seen before. (more...) 
MAURITIUS at Blackfriars Theatre
by Colin Fleming-Stumpf on March 23, 2019 in Central New York When you think of stories that are wildly captivating, real edge-of-your-seat stuff, you probably think of heist thrillers, gangster films, warfare and the like. You recall the battle sequences of Macbeth and King Lear, or the that first rumble between the Sharks and the Jets. What you likely don't think of, is stamps. Philately, or 'the collection and study of postage stamps', is hardly the stuff of intrigue and high-drama, right? Wrong. It's unlikely that you'll find a show with more intensity than Mauritius, currently playing at Rochester's Blackfriars Theatre. (more...)

by BWW News Desk on March 23, 2019 in San Francisco If the National Enquirer had been published in 1592, the story of Arden and April Faversham and her lover Moseby would have been ripped from its pages. Even without the tabloids, the juicy details were the talk of London for years. (more...) 
BWW Review: Actors Bridge Ensemble's Provocative and Gut-wrenching CITIZEN: AN AMERICAN LYRIC
by Jeffrey Ellis on March 23, 2019 in Nashville Provocative and gut-wrenching, Citizen: An American Lyric - Stephen Sachs' dramatization of Claudia Rankine's acclaimed book of poetry and prose that focuses unflinchingly on the subject of race in America - holds up a mirror to every person in the audience at Actors Bridge Studio at Darkhorse Chapel, compelling them to look deep into their own selves, their own lives, to identify their own prejudices and biases. The takeaway? We must do so much better. (more...)

BWW Review: WE WILL NOT BE SILENT at Taproot Theatre
by Kelly Rogers Flynt on March 23, 2019 in Seattle WE WILL NOT BE SILENT at Taproot Theatre is a glimpse into the heart of courage. The story of Sophie Scholl and her resistance to the Nazi regime is one of inspiration and fortitude. Without bells and whistles or fanfare, this show focuses on the heart of the matter. When the laws of the land conflict with what you believe to be right, how will you respond? When the stakes are high, how much are you willing to dare? (more...) 
BWW Review: Join the Party with Seattle Shakes' Uproarious SHE STOOPS TO CONQUER
by Jay Irwin on March 23, 2019 in Seattle Ah, the restoration comedy. Those bawdy little comedies from the 1600's and 1700's with ill-mannered aristocrats being put through their paces. Now let's take one of those, spice it up with a bit of modern flair, pepper in some of the funniest damn people in town, and a hilariously ridiculous three person band with some original songs and what you'll have is the joyous, bound to go off the rails at any minute, high-speed train ride that is Seattle Shakespeare Company's current production of "She Stoops to Conquer".

BWW Review: CATCH ME IF YOU CAN at Des Moines Playhouse: A Welcome and Colorful Journey
by DC Felton on March 23, 2019 in Des Moines After a few months of seeing the white and snow-covered ground, I think everyone is ready to have some color brought back into life. While we may be getting to that time of year outside where we start seeing color again, inside at Des Moines Playhouse, you can see a show that is 'Live and in Living Color.' On Friday, I took a ride to the Des Moines Playhouse for their production of 'Catch Me If You Can,' playing through April 14. This production was filled with color both on stage and off. This included color brought in by some amazing performances as well as the set and lighting. (more...) 
BWW Review: Chaffin's Barn's Earnest and Uneven New Musical ESTHER Premieres
by Jeffrey Ellis on March 23, 2019 in Nashville Nothing fills a critic's heart and soul with as much glee as the premiere of a brand-spanking-new musical, heretofore unseen by mortal men (and women). Thus, I'm happy to report that Esther, a new musical that premiered Thursday at Chaffin's Barn Dinner Theatre in an abbreviated four performance run, has some exceptional elements to be found in its two hours of performance time, although clearly there's a lot of work to be done if the show is to have a future outside The Barn.
