Review: OH! I MISS THE WAR at DJP Productions
This one-man show is adapted from a work of a similar name, I Miss the War, which was originally commissioned by the BBC to mark the 50th anniversary of the 1967 Sexual Offences Act. This production serves as both a response to and homage to that piece....

Review: HIGHER THAN RAINBOWS, 110% WIZARD, and YOUNGER US at The Orlando Fringe Festival

Reviews: SORORICIDE and ://SHELF_LIFE at The Orlando Fringe Festival
Fugly dogs and an AI of a queer aunt kick off BroadwayWorld's coverage of the 35th annual fringe festival....
Review: THE NOTEBOOK: THE MUSICAL at Dr. Phillips Center For The Performing Arts
The stage production does make a lot of strides that strengthens the endurance and popularity of this love story. It repeats iconic moments from the popular 2004 film, but isn’t aping the original screenplay in any way. A new libretto offers a fresh take that borrows the basic structure of the nov...
Review: Make Farce Funny Again with POTUS at Theater West End
There’s a strange dichotomy that exists in live theater. I may not like the material, but will still find reason to love its execution. And at Theater West End, they’ve culled together a company of players who help elevate the material of POTUS into a comedy that now exists thanks to their appro...
Review: THE MARRIAGE OF BETTE AND BOO at Hideaway Performing Arts Center
The Marriage of Bette and Boo is a play written by Christopher Durang, a playwright who rose to prominence in the 1980s and is best known for his absurdist comedies. His most famous work is Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike. ...
Review: RIDE THE CYCLONE at Theatre South
Ride the Cyclone is one of those cult musicals - shows that didn’t have much financial success in their original runs but were later adopted by theatre kids everywhere, eventually gaining viral popularity via TikTok. ...
Review: ONLY SOME OF GOD'S CHILDREN OR MISSISSIPPI MAGNOLIAS at The SigPro Studio
Paris Clayton III’s world premiere production is a compelling, historically-grounded drama that unfortunately finds itself hindered by the 'unintended insularity' of its writer-director. While the staging often feels as stuck as the characters it depicts, a standout second act offers flashes of br...
Review: KIMBERLY AKIMBO at Dr. Phillips Center For The Performing Arts
We learn that the suburban fantasy is not sustainable, primarily because such a fantasy can only ever be a dream. The reality of suburban living, as told by Kimberly Akimbo, shows there is much more nuance to everyday life than the nuclear family with a white picket fence and a wholesome dinner at e...
Review: HENRY VI, PART III: THE RISE OF RICHARD at Orlando Shakes
Orlando Shakes’ 'Bare Bard' production of Henry VI Part III is a high-stakes, dangerous, and riveting 'palette cleanser' for the theatre purist. Its scrappy, sophisticated storytelling proves all you need is a script and some 'Bare Bard' brilliance....
Review: GIRL LOSER at Bacchus Theatre Collective
What did our critic think of GIRL LOSER at Bacchus Theatre Collective?...
Review: THE PIN-UP GIRLS at Winter Park Playhouse
What did our critic think of THE PIN-UP GIRLS at Winter Park Playhouse?...
Review: COMPANY: A MUSICAL COMEDY at Theater West End
Theater West End has once again delivered a hit with this production of COMPANY. Opening night was practically sold out, and the energy in the room reflected it – an audience eager to see how this beloved musical would unfold on the intimate Sanford stage....
Review: THE LIGHTNING THIEF at Bay Street Players
What did our critic think of THE LIGHTNING THIEF at Bay Street Players?...
Review: FAT HAM at Orlando Shakes
Orlando Shakes’ production of FAT HAM is a sensory-rich, unapologetically Black, and proudly queer reimagining of Hamlet that trades Shakespearean tragedy for hard-won joy. Set against a stunningly detailed backyard cookout, Je’Shaun Jackson’s stylized performance as Juicy anchors a vivid ense...
Review: LILLY AND THE PIRATES THE MUSICAL at Orlando Family Stage
Yo ho ho! Ahoy mateys! X marks the spot on this musical based on the 2013 novel by Phyllis Root. Lilly and the Pirates is about a 10 year old girl (Lilly) who has a lot of worries. When her eccentric scientist parents send her to live with a relative while they are in search of an exotic form of...
Review: TIARA'S HAT PARADE at Orlando Family Stage
Tiara’s Hat Parade is based on the 2021 book written by Kelly Starling Lyons and was adapted for the stage by Paige Hernandez. It tells the story of a girl named Tiara Rose who helps her mother in her hat shop, Tracy Rose Millinery....
Review: ANGELS IN AMERICA, PART TWO: PERESTROIKA at Theater West End
Theater West End was wise to split Angels in America in the season as two separate performances, each with their own block in the schedule. Originally, I was concerned that the Part Two of it all might turn away prospective theatergoers. But upon watching both parts now, and bearing in mind my own f...
Review: MY DEAR DEBBIE at New Generation Theatrical
When it comes to theater, seeing an original work is always a gamble. Yes, I know that many popular pieces of theater started as original works, but this does not mean I personally want to invest my time in it. ...
