The latest reviews and critic recommendations from Palm Springs.
When my 8th grade English class read Oliver Twist, Charles Dickens’ exposé of the cruel and unjust treatment of the poor in Victorian London, I never dreamed it would become Lionel Bart’s poignant, award-winning 1960 musical Oliver.
God of Carnage does not necessarily suggest comedy.
What did our critic think of VICTOR / VICTORIA at Palm Canyon Theatre?
What did our critic think of HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WITHOUT REALLY TRYING at Revolution Stage Company?
Pulling into the hi-desert with a head of steam, clash and clatter is Tennessee Williams' 1947 Pulitzer Prize winning drama 'A Streetcar Named Desire'.
What did our critic think of VANYA AND SONIA AND MASHA AND SPIKE at Revolution Stage Company?
What did our critic think of FRANKENSTEIN: THE MUSICAL at Skylight Music Theatre?
Skilled puppeteers who create a realistic world with only their voices, arms, and intention have always amazed me.
Sometimes I get to see a very good production of a very good play, and I go home feeling satisfied.
What did our critic think of TRU at Desert Ensemble Theatre?Since I missed Chuck Yates’s award-winning performance of Jay Presson Allen’s TRU the first time around, I was thrilled to review the reprise of his solo show, playing through February 2, 2025, Desert Ensemble Theatre at the Palm Spring

What did our critic think of THE 39 STEPS at CVRep?
What do you call a nun who can sing? A sister act! And what do you call four nuns and a monk who sing and dance during Christmas? “Nuncrackers!” now playing weekends at Desert Theatreworks through December 29.
It’s all a big conundrum, isn’t it? Life in general, of course, but specifically, the idea as to whether or not someone will be happier single, or married.
In 2015, Vanity Fair published an article about the first super agent in Hollywood, Sue Mengers.
What did our critic think of NOBODY DOES IT BETTER at Palm Springs Cultural Center?
What holiday season can be claimed as complete without a Disney musical, right? While one can tick that box with the opening of “Moana 2” at the local movie house, there is nothing like a live performance to energize those merry-making juices.
As one audience member who fell asleep remarked, “Farce is hard”.
