Review: MEAN GIRLS at Ritz Civic Center in Blytheville
by Theresa Bertram - Oct 5, 2026

On Wednesdays we wear pink, but apparently in Blytheville, we can be totally fetch any day of the week! Rosewood Repertory took over The Ritz Theater for one fabulous weekend, October 2–4, with its production of MEAN GIRLS, and from the moment the Plastics strutted onto the stage, I knew we were in for a ridiculously fun time. With plenty of pink, attitude and high-school drama, this cast had me smiling like I had just been invited to sit at the cool kids’ table.

Review Roundup: Sting Stars In THE LAST SHIP
by Aliya Al-Hassan - Sep 24, 2026

Rooted in his own childhood in the British shipbuilding town of Wallsend, The Last Ship tells the moving story of a community of shipbuilders in the North East of England, faced with the closure of their shipyard – the heart of their existence. Sting takes on the role of Jackie White, the shipyard's foreman whose health is failing just as his leadership is needed most. In this very personal show, the artist immerses the audience in the hometown he was desperate to escape, a world where love, loss, and hope intertwine.

BWW Review: Sting's THE LAST SHIP Stars Scene-Stealing Scenic Design by 59 Productions
by Shari Barrett - Jan 24, 2020

The real star of the show is its designed-to-travel, multi-level scenic design by 59 Productions, enhanced by sound designer Sebastian Front and lighting designer Matt Daw, which includes some of the most amazing projections I have ever witnessed that completely transform into the many scenes required, from the shipyard, inside homes, the local beer pub, to an extraordinary church interior that generated gasps from the audience, as well as the appearance of waves crashing on the docks and snow falling. But it is the final scene when the Utopia, the last ship to be built, launches from the soon-to-close shipyard that will take your breath away. It's just a shame it takes almost 3 hours to get to it.
