Review: DEAR EVAN HANSEN at Pioneer Theatre Company is Arrestingly Layered
by Tyler Hinton - Oct 25, 2025

Pioneer Theatre Company’s professional production of DEAR EVAN HANSEN could easily be at home on a Broadway stage, and it is certainly one of Utah’s best shows this year. The original production is rightfully beloved, but this iteration adds even more layers, brilliantly flitting between realism and theatricality in arresting ways.

Review: THE MOUSETRAP at Berkshire Theatre Group
by Marc Savitt - Jul 28, 2025

In the vernacular of the production, everything about it is quite satisfactory. Solid performances, handsome and functional staging, etc. It is all quite lovely. This production overall, however, fails to breakthrough. Christie’s script and characters are, as many of her works multifaceted and deliciously intertwined. As we get to know more about each of them over the course of the just short of two and a half hours (with one 15-minute intermission) information that makes all potential suspects much in the way the popular 1974 film Murder On The Orient Express did. This production is flat and rather two dimensional. Although the audience laughed in all the right places, we were never really drawn in. We watched the action play out before us, but the multitude of wait-what, and a-ha moments seemed to fall short not crossing the proscenium to connect with the audience members in the way they should. I will say that for me personally, , Matt Sullivan’s performance as Mr. Paravicini achieved the level of mysterious particularly well.

As she navigates the tricky social scene, she befriends Janis and Damian, who introduce her to the school's popular clique—the Plastics.

Review: ONCE ON THIS ISLAND at Village Theatre
by Jay Irwin - May 18, 2024

Dear Readers, we’re about to enter the realm of one of my favorite shows, “Once on This Island”, currently playing at Village Theatre. This gem of a show is, sadly, not often produced. In fact, I’ve only seen it twice, once on Broadway in 2017, and once in 2005, again from Village Theatre. Both of those productions hold very special places in my memory as being stellar shows. I tell you this for one reason and one reason only, I am very picky when it comes to this show.

Review: THE PERFECT MATE Is Fantastic, and Fantastical, at Pittsburgh CLO
by Greg Kerestan - Feb 14, 2024

CLO's Spark program has a large-sized hit with the latest small-scale musical it commissioned. As a musical writer, let me just say: it's TOUGH to launch a new musical. The best thing you can do is have a company commission a show from you based on your pitch, otherwise you're going to have a long, difficult but hopefully rewarding journey as an indie theatre creator. (Ask me how I know!)
