BWW Blog: Clarissa Moon - A Shout-Out to Supportive Moms
by Guest Blogger: Clarissa Moon - May 09, 2016
In every show, there is a force behind the scenes that is never acknowledged--and I don't mean techies. Some of us are lucky enough to have supportive moms, and it makes a world of difference. It's a thankless job, and sometimes even disrespected. I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you.

BWW Review: BEAUTIFUL's Emotional Musical Journey is One of Dr. Phillips Center's Best
by Matt Tamanini - May 05, 2016
Unsurprisingly, the crowd at Orlando's Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts for the Opening Night performance of the Tony-winning musical BEAUTIFUL, the final show of the 2015-2016 Broadway in Orlando season, was filled with baby boomers. Not only does that age group line up with traditional theatergoing demographics, but it also encompasses the generations that grew up listening to the music of the legendary songwriter and reluctant performer, Carole King, the show's inspiration. However, the musical, playing through Sunday, May 8th, will almost certainly appeal to music (and musical) lovers of all ages. In fact, the timeless tunes, inventive staging, and dynamite performances make BEAUTIFUL: THE CAROLE KING MUSICAL one of the most universally appealing shows in the Dr. Phillips Center's brief year and a half history.
