Review: ANGELS IN AMERICA, PART TWO: PERESTROIKA at Theater West End
by Albert Gutierrez - February 21, 2026
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
by Julie Gardieff - February 18, 2026
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. ...

Review: ROMEO & JULIET at Orlando Shakes
by Benoit Teves - February 01, 2026
In a production that marries 16th-century gravitas with 21st-century urgency, Director Monica Long Tamborello finds a delicate balance between Act I’s playful hope and Act II’s harrowing descent, reminding us that while the feud is ancient, the loss of innocence remains a devastatingly contempor...
Review: HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD at Dr. Phillips Center For The Performing Arts
by Albert Gutierrez - January 29, 2026
The reason the play works at all is because of the sheer strength of its production values and the commitment of its cast. When you look at all the design elements – sets, lighting, illusions, choreography – and combine it with performers who move through that space with the same ease as one bre...
Review: MEAN GIRLS at The Renaissance Theatre Company
by Benoit Teves - January 19, 2026
Part bar, part group hang, and part chaotic theatrical experience, The Renaissance Theatre Company’s production of MEAN GIRLS blurs the lines between a traditional show and an immersive club experience. While the scrappy staging and mid-show cocktail deliveries lean heavily into the troupe’s imm...
Review: ANGELS IN AMERICA, PART ONE: MILLENNIUM APPROACHES at Theater West End
by Albert Gutierrez - January 18, 2026
While much of the dramatic weight of Angels in America undeniably stems from the specter of AIDS, it would do the play a huge disservice to reduce it to a story about disease alone. What Theater West End makes clear is that Kushner’s work is as much about identity, loss, and the human struggle to ...
Review: HAIRSPRAY at Titusville Playhouse
by Benoit Teves - January 17, 2026

Featuring several standout performances, the production deftly balances infectious musical numbers with a technicolor parade of 1960s fashion. While celebra...
Review: & JULIET at Dr. Phillips Center For The Performing Arts
by Albert Gutierrez - January 07, 2026
If “& Juliet” works at all, it’s because it commits to the premise without apology: a Shakespearean remix told through the lens of pop music, meta-theatre, and a general belief that stories never really die, they just get re-written. This touring production of the still-running Broadway musica...
Review: THE OUTSIDERS at Dr. Phillips Center For The Performing Arts
by Albert Gutierrez - December 17, 2025
One of the most effective things the musical gains by moving from page to screen to stage is permission to reframe the story without betraying it. By leaning harder into the Curtis brothers as the emotional spine, the musical clarifies a distinction that’s always been present in the text but rarel...
