Review: Go, Go, Go to JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT at Broadway At Music Circus
by Courtney Symes - Apr 15, 2025

Perfection, thy name is Joseph. And Narrator. And Pharoah. And Jacob. And Potiphar. And director Glenn Casale’s explosive production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at Broadway at Music Circus. This musical marvel is an early collaboration of super-duo Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber, who would go on to create such hits as Jesus Christ Superstar and Evita. The original Broadway show opened in 1982 and was nominated for seven Tony Awards, including Best Original Score. It was last seen at Broadway at Music Circus in 2010, so Sacramento is more than ready for this spectacular sung-through musical once again.

Review: Let's Hear it for FOOTLOOSE at Broadway At Music Circus
by Courtney Symes - Mar 23, 2025

Kick off your Sunday shoes and don’t miss the upbeat, energetic, 80s pop phenomenon that is Footloose at Broadway at Music Circus. The musical is based on the 1984 movie of the same name that got a generation of teens on their feet and dancing. After some changes were made to make it more suitable for the stage, it opened on Broadway in 1998 and garnered four Tony Award nominations, including Best Original Score and Best Choreography. This is the first show in the 2025 Music Circus season, marking a huge change as it goes from its traditional summer run to year-round offerings.

Review: Celebrate Tradition with FIDDLER ON THE ROOF at Broadway At Music Circus
by Courtney Symes - Jul 11, 2024

Tradition. How do we know when to let go and embrace the future? That’s the question at the heart of the latest triumph at Broadway at Music Circus. Beloved classic Fiddler on the Roof has itself become a tradition for theatre lovers worldwide. It was a favorite of mine as a child, and continues to be many years later. Fiddler on the Roof was an instant hit when it opened on Broadway sixty years ago, winning nine Tony Awards, including Best Musical. It has inspired parodies, television shows, movies, and music. It opened in Sacramento on Tuesday night to an enthusiastic audience eager for its themes of love, family, and resilience.
