The latest reviews and critic recommendations from Palm Springs.
What did our critic think of RED HOT MAMA: THE SOPHIE TUCKER SONGBOOK at The Revolution Stage Company? Gary Powers and James Owens, in association with producer Michael Alden, gave their audiences Sharon McNight’s RED HOT MAMA: The Sophie Tucker Songbook at The Revolution Stage Company.
History credits the first modern musical production to the year 1866 and a little-known work called “The Black Crook” that premiered in New York on September 12 of that year.
Several things rush to mind in the thoughts of the prolific theatre-goer when a Neil Simon production is promised: smart & funny being chiefly amongst them.
What did our critic think of THE NEW CENTURY at The Bent?
Producing innovative, provocative work is part of the Revolution Stage Company’s DNA, so it is not surprising they chose Witchland for their first new production of 2024.
The musical Cabaret is a classic for many reasons, and no matter who produces it the dark foreboding story never fails to pack a gut punch.
Joe Croyle Sings with Beautiful Strength and Affection; Content Falls Short Of Full Potential.
Quality Actors In A Timely ‘Lifespan’; Conflict Between Journalistic Integrity And Poetic License; When Facts Matter.
From the moment her iconic voice could be heard singing a gentle ballad version of 'Que Sera Sera' from off-stage the audience could feel that familiar warmth of authenticity fill the entire theatre.

Palm Canyon Theatres “Elf” will definitely get you in the holiday spirit! Santa (David Brooks) brought Christmas cheer for all to hear! With his charming smile and stage presence, I almost believed in Santa again! If you’ve seen the movie “Elf”, you can expect this production to be just

What did our critic think of OFF THE STREETS at Revolution Stage Company? It’s not often you get to see a new piece of work that not only has a profound message, but has fantastic music and talent to match.
What a stellar performance PCT put on with their stunning direction by Luke Rainey and Rent’s incredible cast.
KINKY BOOTS is running strong for another two weeks and I highly encourage you to sit back, relax and enjoy the beautiful piece of theater! They will “Raise you up” and “Celebrate you to ELEVATE you!” Don’t walk… RUN in those boots BABY- to Kinky Boots!
When creating his season, Dezart Performs Artistic Director Michael Shaw always reaches for top shelf ingredients, but he’s mixed up a delicious cocktail of woke hilarity in Larissa Fasthorse’s marvelous The Thanksgiving Play.
What did our critic think of THE FANTASTICKS at CV Rep?
What did our critic think of NOT IN FRONT OF THE CHILDREN at Revolution Stage Company? According to Gnostic philosopher Samael Aun Weor, the Age of Aquarius began on February 4, 1962 and in 1967 the song about it, “Aquarius”, from the musical Hair became the anthem for what would surely be the b
What did our critic think of THE WITCHES at Theatre 29?
Palm Canyon Theatre’s “Steel Magnolias” was the first dramatic work in their primarlily musical season and, wow, it was the perfect artistic choice! The story revolves around Shelby (no, NOT me) played by Erin Shull, and her life in the small town of Natchitoches Louisiana where love, sass
