Review: Musical Theatre West Welcomes Back HELLO, DOLLY!
by Michael Quintos - Oct 22, 2025

During the recent opening night performance of Musical Theatre West's vibrant new production of the 10-time Tony Award-winning 1964 musical HELLO, DOLLY!, the enthusiastically appreciative audience might as well have chanted 'Hello, Tami!' judging from the reactions during the show's finalé bows. Making her long-awaited return to a Southern California musical theatre stage production after quite a long absence, local favorite Tami Tappan Damiano is nothing short of brilliant taking on the title role in a gorgeous, earnestly joy-filled new local revival of the classic musical, which continues performances at the Carpenter Performing Arts Center in Long Beach, CA through November 2.

Review: Omigod! LEGALLY BLONDE - THE MUSICAL Is a Winner at La Mirada
by Michael Quintos - Apr 29, 2025

Filled with catchy, pop-infused songs, engaging characters, vibrant choreography, and a not-so-subtle message of female empowerment and self-confidence, LEGALLY BLONDE - THE MUSICAL is back in SoCal in a brand new, awesomely-entertaining, Broadway-caliber regional production at the La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts through May 18th that's filled with non-stop laughs, lively musical numbers, a ridiculously good-looking and musically-talented cast, and production values that make it all just a genuinely fun time all-around. I have to say that this cheery, unabashedly joyful production was genuinely the most fun I have had at a musical so far this year.
