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

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…
