Review: AMERICAN IDIOT at at Short North Stage
by Paul Batterson - Sep 7, 2025

What did our critic think of AMERICAN IDIOT at At Short North Stage? In Short North Stage’s production of AMERICAN IDIOT, everything isn’t meant to be okay. The characters are disappointed, disillusioned, and defiant, and their story is depressing, dark, and disturbing.
Review: NEXT TO NORMAL at Riffe Center Studio 1
by Paul Batterson - Oct 29, 2024

Sometimes you can tell a lot about a production even before you enter the theatre. For example, the Columbus Children’s Theatre placed a large fishbowl of Kleenex packets in the lobby for attendees of its musical, NEXT TO NORMAL.
Review: HAIR: THE AMERICAN TRIBAL LOVE-ROCK MUSICAL at Garden Theatre
by Paul Batterson - May 13, 2024

HAIR is not your typical linear, point A to point B musical. It roughly ambles through vignettes of the members of a “tribe” of hippies in New York City. And yet, HAIR is as important as it is subversive. Without it, shows such as RENT, ANGELS IN AMERICA, and HAMILTON probably wouldn’t stand a chance to make it to Broadway.
Review: THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME at Lincoln Theatre
by Paul Batterson - Apr 30, 2024

Brilliant acting mixed in with a powder keg of singing, dancing, and orchestration stuns its audience.
Feature: 2022 HOLIDAY SHOWS In Columbus
by Paul Batterson - Dec 19, 2022

I will proudly admit it. I don't like Christmas shows. I once videotaped HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS and purposely stopped taping right about the time the Grinch was about to dump the presents off the edge of Mount Crumpet. I empathize with Miles Finch and Mr. Potter more than I do with Buddy the Elf and George Bailey.
Review: REVIEW: DISNEY'S NEWSIES at Southern Theatre
by Paul Batterson - Sep 26, 2022

What did our critic think of REVIEW: DISNEY’S NEWSIES at Southern Theatre? Aristotle is credited with coming up with the phrase, 'the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.' Had he witnessed the Columbus Children Theatre's production of DISNEY'S NEWSIES, the philosopher may have reversed the quotation to 'the parts are greater than the sum of the whole.' An energetic cast, sharp management by director Joe Deer and choreographer Vincent Sylvester, and tight orchestration by musical director Lara Brooks lifted a cheesy musical to stellar heights.
BWW Review: SNS LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS At the Garden Theatre
by Paul Batterson - Mar 28, 2022

The great thing is the casting changes add and do not detract from the show. Riley and Mia Angelique, who plays Audrey, carry the arc of co-worker crush awkwardness, the puppy love stage of courting, and finally self-sacrificing true love.
Stage Left Announces New Artistic Leadership
by Julie Musbach - Sep 17, 2019

Stage Left Theatre Company announces that James Yost will be their new Artistic Director beginning immediately. Following a search process, Yost was selected by the Stage Left ensemble and board because of his passion for Stage Left's mission, his strong background as an artistic leader in Chicago, his skill as a director, and his energetic vision for the future of the company.

Pacific Symphony Presents Verdi's AIDA
by Molly Tracy - Jan 20, 2017

For three grand nights, the orchestra comes out of the pit and onto the stage for this semi-staged presentation of Verdi's most popular and heartbreaking opera.
