ELF The Broadway Musical to Premiere at Spencer Theater
by A.A. Cristi - Oct 14, 2016

ELF The Musical is the hilarious odyssey tale of Buddy, a young orphan child who mistakenly crawls into Santa's bag of gifts one Christmas night and is unknowingly transported back to the North Pole. Once discovered, he ends up being raised as an elf. Unaware that he is actually human, Buddy's enormous, comically bigger size than his elf pals - little workers that he out-jollies by far, but falls far short of by his pathetic toy-making skills - prompts Elf to face an agonizing truth. He simply doesn't fit in….

BWW Review: Disney's THE LITTLE MERMAID Visually Stunning Family Fun
by Frank Benge - Oct 1, 2015

Ever since the success of Disney's The Lion King, Disney Theatricals have been trying to catch lightning in a bottle a second time. After the original production of Disney's THE LITTLE MERMAID closed on Broadway in 2009 (after a run of 685 performances), it underwent two years of intensive work to fine-tune and re-think the production. In 2014, Theatre Under The Stars produced this current revised version which includes new scenery and new costumes as well as flying.

BWW Reviews: Second to the Right, and Straight on to Rivertown's PETER PAN!
by Heidi Scheuermann - Aug 11, 2015

There's that saying 'Every day you live is one day closer to death.'  The opposite happened for me when by some miracle, or maybe even magic, I became younger and younger until I was young enough to think lovely thoughts and follow Peter to his Neverland at Rivertown Theaters.  PETER PAN is a show that has always been very special to me.  Whether it was my sister betting her fellow first graders that they hadn't seen the 'Mary Martin version' or learning the entirety of the shadow puppet show from 'I Gotta Crow,' this story is one that has and will forever resonate within my soul.

BWW Reviews: IDINA MENZEL: WORLD TOUR 2015 at PNC Bank Arts Center
by Leigh Scheps - Jul 14, 2015

No one tried to plug their cell phones into an outlet on the stage last night at Idina Menzel's World Tour concert. Maybe that's because it wasn't a Broadway house, but a concert venue in New Jersey's suburbs. But, some might think it was Broadway based on the set list for her solo show at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel Sunday night.  

BWW Review: CPA's MARY POPPINS Flies High in Nashville
by Jeffrey Ellis - Apr 20, 2015

If writer P.L. Travers, the notoriously protective creator of Mary Poppins, was even half so prickly as we have been led to believe she was - thanks in large part to the screenplay for Saving Mr. Banks, the film retelling of her experiences with Walt Disney, et al, over the film adaptation of her beloved work - it's very easy to imagine how she might cringe at the thought of high school students taking on the musical theater version of her timeless story. However, if she knew in advance that it was being produced by Nashville's Christ Presbyterian Academy, under the direction of an artist as exacting as Paula Flautt, we rather think Miss Travers would be pleased -and without reservation.

by Jeffrey Ellis - Apr 10, 2015
