Review: ARTAUD / VAN GOGH at The Simeio Theater

by Jay Irwin - November 05, 2025
Dear Readers, I want to talk to you about somewhat under the radar shows, and corn. Not all shows have that name recognition or known songs.

Review: & JULIET at ASU Gammage
by Herbert Paine - November 05, 2025
In the Tony-nominated musical & Juliet, it’s as if William Shakespeare was handed a bedazzled microphone and told to start writing Romeo and Juliet all over again, only this time he should make it a fizzy, whirling pop fantasia that pulses with enough pop/rock earworms to play in your head on an endless loop for days.
