Review: MURDER GIRL at Milwaukee Chamber Theatre
by Sofia Ascorbe - November 24, 2025
As I walked into Studio Theatre at the Broadway Theatre Center, a neon sign reading “Marty’s Supper Club” prominently sat next to a scene with strung indoor Christmas lights, wood paneled walls, Packers memorabilia, and local beer signs. The low buzz of the lights hummed from Lisa Schlenker’s dimly lit set. As the house lights lowered and the show came alive, a door swung open into the bar from the cold, snowy, outside weather…we are in Wisconsin, and we are at Marty’s.

Review: THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA at Orpheum Theatre Minneapolis
by Jared Fessler - November 24, 2025
If you’ve lived in Minneapolis long enough, you’ve probably seen a touring Phantom (or at least pretended you did when talking to theatre friends). But the production now at the Orpheum through December 7 feels surprisingly alive. Not “reinvented,” not “modernized”—just performed with the kind of conviction that makes you remember why this show became a juggernaut in the first place.
Review: AN EVENING WITH SARAH MCLACHLAN BETTER BROKEN TOUR at The Armory
by Jared Fessler - November 24, 2025
Sarah McLachlan doesn’t make a big entrance. She just walks out, smiles like she’s greeting old friends, and settles in behind the piano as if she’s about to play something she wrote five minutes ago. That’s how the night started at the Armory, and the whole show kept that same unforced, almost conversational energy.

by Jared Fessler - November 24, 2025

by Cara Joy David - November 24, 2025
There has been a lot of press about the NYC Musical and Theatrical Production Tax Credit, but so much remains unclear. I continue to get regular questions about it, months after any major news hit.

Review: HUMBUG, The Vaults
by Kat Mokrynski - November 24, 2025
Santa has lost his Christmas spirit, and it’s up to you to save it! That’s the main theme of Humbug - a three-hour long experience inside of The Vaults, which has been transformed into a holiday-themed wonderland. But that’s not the only thing audience members have to save - After a long wait out in the cold, they are introduced to Howard the Mailman (Perry Meadowcroft), who has had one too many cocktails in the bar and has somehow managed to lose every letter written to the Big Man in Red. Thrown in a waitress (Savannah Beckford) whose singing brings a Christas curse, and you’ve got yourselves in quite the pickle.
