Review: CHICAGO at The 5th Avenue Theatre
by Jay Irwin - Oct 25, 2025
Dear Readers, if you’re a die-hard musical theater nerd like me, there are certain shows that just feel like a warm hug. A comfort show that you can go to (and have) over and over that just make you happy. For me, along with the likes of “Mamma Mia”, “Little Shop of Horrors”, and “Hairspray”, we have the Kander and Ebb classic, “Chicago”. I know it backwards and forwards (having worn out the CD of the Bebe Neuwirth and Ann Reinking revival) and I’ve seen it many times over the years, some with casts showing how the show can be amazing. I still remember Bianca Marroquín flooring me as Roxie. So, when the tour comes through town again, I say “yes please”. And while this was still my little slice of comfort food, and while some elements were fantastic, this production just missed that little something “extra” to make it sparkle.

Review: PRETTY WOMAN THE MUSICAL at Hershey Theatre
by Rich Mehrenberg - Jan 15, 2025
Your appreciation of Pretty Woman the Musical is probably directly related to your familiarity and love of the movie. There is extensive dialogue, events, and costume call backs to the Julia Roberts classic. Some audience members (like my plus-one) loved this, while others might prefer to stay home and stream the original.

La Mirada Theatre’s new production of the Estefans’ aspirational life story reverberates with high-octane, vivacious Latin rhythms presented via enthusiastically-performed dance numbers and beautifully-sung songs—elevated by its terrific, talented ensemble. This engaging production (going on tour soon) is undeniably lively and electric.
