Review: CHICAGO Brings Razzle Dazzle to the Rancho Mirage Amohitheater
by David Green - Mar 15, 2026
Desert Theatricals brings the legendary Broadway musical Chicago to the Rancho Mirage Amphitheater for a limited three-night run, opening March 13. Packed with murder, greed, corruption, violence, exploitation, adultery, and treachery — all those things we hold near and dear to our hearts — the Kander and Ebb classic remains as sharp and entertaining today as when it first premiered. Under the direction of Ray Limon, this stylish production embraces the show’s signature blend of vaudeville spectacle, biting satire, and sultry jazz.

John Waters made films for queer people long before the word queer was embraced by the community. That he was good friends with Warhol makes complete sense to me. They were cut from the same jib.

Review: OLIVER at Rancho Mirage Amphitheatre
by June August - Mar 21, 2025
When my 8th grade English class read Oliver Twist, Charles Dickens’ exposé of the cruel and unjust treatment of the poor in Victorian London, I never dreamed it would become Lionel Bart’s poignant, award-winning 1960 musical Oliver. Alas, Broadway Theatricals’ delightful production just ended its March 7 to 9, 2025, run at the Rancho Mirage Amphitheater.
