Review: THE PROM at Theater At St. Luke's

Review: NEVER CAN SAY GOODBYE: THE 70S BEEHIVE MUSICAL at Winter Park Playhouse
One of my favorite things about theater is that it can teach important lessons and tell meaningful stories. Sometimes, though, its purpose is simply to entertain. That is certainly the case with Winter Park Playhouse's latest production, Never Can Say Goodbye: The '70s Beehive Musical.…

Review: Encore Performing Arts Warms a FROZEN Heart at Dr. Phillips Center For The Performing Arts
The selection of Frozen as the summer musical served multiple masters. Thematically, it fit within Encore’s 2025-2026 season’s theme of “Finding Yourself,” as the story of Queen Elsa discovering how to better control her powers also serves as a metaphor for self-love, self-acceptance, and se…

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.…
