Review: DISNEY'S BEAUTY AND THE BEAST at Bass Concert Hall
by Sabrina Wallace - Dec 5, 2025

Disney’s Beauty and the Beast at Bass Concert Hall dazzles with flawless tech, lush visuals, and choreography that hits like a burst of joy. The cast shines, the magic lands, and the nostalgia is real. Just be ready to chat with your kids about the story’s dated messaging. Spectacle soars, but the morals need a closer look.
Review: BEAUTY AND THE BEAST at Majestic Theatre
by Jill Ripa - Nov 21, 2025

There’s nothing so joyful and energizing as watching a stage full of talented and skilled performers pour their hearts out through each step and with each note of such a heartwarming, spectacle-filled, magical production as this!

Review: BEAUTY AND THE BEAST at The Fisher Theatre
by Emily Schenk - Oct 3, 2025

A tale as old as time has been reimagined for the stage; Beauty and the Beast returns to Detroit at the Fisher Theater now through October 12. The story we all know in love is performing on stage through October 12. Get your tickets here. Beauty and the Beast is a story of falling in love with someone for who they are inside, not judging a book by its cover. This show, based on the classic 1991 animated film, was also the first Broadway production for Disney. I loved seeing the show reimagined in a new way.

Review: BEAUTY & THE BEAST National Tour at Durham Performing Arts Center
by Jeffrey Kare - Sep 4, 2025

Based on Disney's 1991 Academy Award-winning animated film musical of the same name as well as Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont’s classic French fairy tale. Beauty & the Beast follows Belle, a bright, beautiful young woman who doesn't seem to fit in with her village.
Review: DISNEY'S BEAUTY AND THE BEAST at Shea's Buffalo Theatre
by Michael Rabice - Aug 21, 2025

'Tale as old as time,' the lyric goes in the heart warming production of Disney's BEAUTY AND THE BEAST now playing at Shea's Buffalo Theatre. I knew I was in good hands when the sparkling new production of the beloved classic begins with Angela Lansbury's voice reciting the story that has captured children's minds for years. It was a lovely touch to settle into the familiar story,  hearing the voice of Mrs. Potts from the Disney animated film beckon us.

Review: AN OLD-FASHIONED FAMILY MURDER at New Theatre & Restaurant
by Alan Portner - Sep 23, 2024

Imagine a very funny stage comedy hidden behind a locked door, puzzler of a 1940s mystery movie and you’ve got AN OLD-FASHIONED FAMILY MURDER now playing at New Theatre and Restaurant. It is a World Premiere production. Double Tony-winning playwright Joe DiPietro has cleverly developed a recipe for an uproarious new farce. 
Interview: Joe DiPietro of AN OLD-FASHIONED FAMILY MURDER at New Theatre & Restaurant
by Alan Portner - Sep 21, 2024

Kansas City audiences do not often get the opportunity to see World Premiere productions of plays by Tony Award winning playwrights.  This makes the current New Theatre & Restaurant production of Joe DiPietra’s new play “An Old-Fashioned Family Murder” starring “All In The Family’s” Sally Strothers exceptional.
