Review: HAIRSPRAY Sets the Standard at Broadway At Music Circus
by Courtney Symes - Aug 24, 2026

The nicest kids in town are back! Hairspray is bringing its unstoppable beat to the round, and you do not want to miss Robbie Roby’s visionary direction and choreography of this bright spectacle of the best of the 60s. Based on the 1988 John Waters' movie that became a cult classic, Hairspray opened on Broadway in 2002. It took home eight Tony Award wins, including Best Musical. Its staying power can be credited to a memorable score by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman, and relatable themes in the book by Mark O'Donnell and Thomas Meehan.

Review: ONE MAN, TWO GUV'NORS: A Laugh Out Loud Farce Filled With Surprises At CVRep
by June August - Jan 22, 2026

Whether or not you are familiar with this chaotic style of British comedy, Richard Bean’s One Man, Two Guv’nors offers an enjoyable introduction to fast-paced, wacky farce. And I mean wacky. There’s nothing serious or thought-provoking about it. There’s enough of that on the news. And “guv’nor” has nothing to do with politics. It’s a colloquial British term for one’s boss or employer, in this case two employers. Bean adapted the play, set in 1963 Brighton, from Carlo Goldoni’s 18th century classic The Servant of Two Masters.
