Review: NEXT TO NORMAL at Dr. Phillips Center For The Performing Arts
What makes Next to Normal so powerful is that it refuses to offer easy answers. The musical explores grief, mental illness, and family relationships in a way that feels honest and often uncomfortable, allowing audience members to empathize with each character's struggles.…
Review: INTO THE WOODS at Dr. Phillips Center For The Performing Arts
Though I am not typically a fan of Sondheim’s work, the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts’ recent production of Into the Woods inspired a complete change of heart. Having seen the 2023 Broadway revival tour starring royalty like Stephanie J.…
Review: INTO THE WOODS We Go Again at Dr. Phillips Center For The Performing Arts
One of the greatest joys of experiencing live theater comes from the ability to revisit a past show through a new lens. When shows are revived or a new company mounts their own production, this allows newer voices to put their stamp on timeless material. The hallmark of any timeless story is its abi…
Review: TWISTED: THE UNTOLD STORY OF A ROYAL VIZIER at Orange Rose Productions
If you know anything about Starkid productions, you know how highly entertaining they are. Established by Darren Criss and his college friends, Starkid creates parodies of pop culture subjects—like Harry Potter and The Oregon Trail—featuring original music.…
Review: Encore Performing Arts Warms a FROZEN Heart at Dr. Phillips Center For The Performing Arts

Review: RETURN TO ROMANCE: THE METROPLEX BIG BAND FEATURING MARK ROMEO at Mark Romeo
Though not the typical type of performance I cover for Broadway World, Return to Romance: The Metroplex Big Band Featuring Mark Romeo offered just as much entertainment—and just as much of a connection to Broadway—as any musical I have seen.…
Review: SIX: THE MUSICAL at Dr. Phillips Center For The Performing Arts
Four years after first seeing SIX, I still remain impressed by how well the musical continues to work. What initially seemed like a clever gimmick – a pop concert starring the six wives of Henry VIII – has instead proven itself to be one of the most inventive pieces of musical theatre of the las…

Review: AN EVENING WITH EDGAR ALLAN POE at Midnight Creative
Edgar Allan Poe remains one of the most iconic American writers, known for his haunting exploration of death, grief, and the macabre. As a theater director, I selected a Poe adaptation for my Fall 2026 production (that will be licensed through Pioneer Drama). In my search for a script that would bes…
