Review: DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS at the Stratford Festival is a Hilarious Romp
by Lauren Gienow - May 30, 2025
Last night, Director Tracey Flye’s production of DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS opened at the Stratford Festival’s Avon Theatre. One of two musicals mounted at the Festival this season, this production is paired well with its counterpart, ANNIE. As musical comedies go, they simply could not be more different from one another tonally. Patrons who are seeking something edgier or who perhaps have a more cynical outlook on life than optimistic Annie, will enjoy the hijinks of Lawrence and Freddy. I personally suggest seeing both musicals though. After all, as is evidenced in this production, we all contain multitudes.
Review: SOPHIE MCCARTNEY: ONE FOOT IN THE RAVE, Bloomsbury Theatre
by Kat Mokrynski - May 6, 2025
Sophie McCartney: One Foot In The Rave opens with a montage of moments from McCartney’s childhood with “Forever Young” playing in the background. It’s a sweet moment that immediately transitions into rave music, setting the tone for the rest of the show as McCartney dances onto the stage to cheers from the audience. One Foot In The Rave focuses on McCartney entering her 40s, leaving behind what she considers “Club 18-30.” McCartney says that she is “too old to be young, but too young to be old,” trying to find her place in the world as a comedian who started later in life than others.
