Review: THE DROWSY CHAPERONE at Short North Stage
by Paul Batterson - May 11, 2025
Although the cast took a wrecking ball to the fourth wall separating the audience from the actors and the show within a show is intentionally light on plot, The Drowsy Chaperone serves up a cocktail that is two shots of Golden Age musicals, a jigger of acerbic wit, three parts parody, and a half ounce of honesty.

BWW Reviews: Short North Stage Brings YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN to Life
by Paul Batterson - Mar 9, 2020
a??a??a??a??a??a??a??Consider this entry from the 'If at first you don't succeed' department. A young television writer is recruited to write a book for the musical SHINBONE ALLEY. Haven't heard of it? That's not too surprising. It lasted a little over a month and closed on Broadway after 49 performances. Undaunted, he writes the first act for another musical, ALL-AMERICAN five years later. It also flops, closing on Broadway after 80 performances.

BWW Reviews: HORROR SHOW Offers Both tricks and Treats for SNS audiences
by Paul Batterson - Oct 15, 2018
