by Aaron Wallace - April 18, 2019
There's terrific acting in the touring cast, even if the singing voices waver from Platt to flat. We get an incredibly convincing Evan in Ben Levi Ross (an understudy for the same role on Broadway). He interprets the character as nervous, nerdy, and unknowingly funny. It's an excellent performance...

The Studio Theatre Announces Season Four - ASSASSINS, OTHER DESERT CITIES, and More!
by BWW News Desk - April 09, 2019
Over the last two decades, our country has grown more and more divided. The effects have been taken out on families, politics, social class, and the culture at large. No matter your affiliation, we all have the topics we want to avoid over Thanksgiving dinner. This season at The Studio Theatre we have chosen four stories that search for unity in a nation fighting for common ground. The titles we chose for this upcoming season convey important relationships hurt and broken by divisive opinions of loved ones. Through listening, can we reach across the divide? Only then can we truly begin to manifest the American Dream. In the words of George H. W. Bush, 'In crucial things, unity. In important things, diversity. In all things, generosity.' Presenting season four at The Studio Theatre: We the people reach across the divide. -Whitney Morse, Artistic Director

BWW Review: Things Get Naughty in WILD PARTY at Theater West End
