Review: THE LITTLE BIG THINGS at Royal Theatre Carré Amsterdam
by André Böke - Jul 26, 2026
“It’s the little big things you leave behind.” Few new musicals have captured audiences quite like „The Little Big Things“, and Amsterdam's new non-replica production proves exactly why. Presented as part of the Carré Theatre's tenth-anniversary „Broadway in Carré“ series, Ola Mafaalani's staging combines an outstanding cast, breathtaking visuals and remarkable emotional depth to create an evening that lingers long after the curtain calls. More than a moving story about resilience, it is a celebration of family, healing and inclusion—told from a perspective that feels both deeply personal and profoundly universal.

Review: RUDDIGORE at Gilbert And Sullivan Society Of Houston
by Armando Urdiales - Jul 22, 2024
Boy, I wanted to enjoy this way more. I have been an ardent fan of the Gilbert and Sullivan Society of Houston since I moved to Houston in 2021, and their post-pandemic performance of HMS Pinafore left me excited for future G&S Society of Houston productions. In 2023, they followed up HMS with Pirates of Penzance (the first of what I hope are many showings of this production), and again, I was excited to see what 2024 would bring. Unfortunately, with a change of venue, while there were some incredible performances, much was left to be desired.
