BWW Album Review: ONCE ON THIS ISLAND Revives A Classic Tale
by Amanda Prahl
- Feb 23, 2018
There's a certain reliability to a score by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty. You can count on elegant orchestrations, tidy and effective lyrics, and a heartfelt yet epic tale. All of this and more can be found on the new cast recording of the revival of Once On This Island, a Caribbean-tinged fairytale about love, destiny, and sacrifice. It's a lushly produced recording that balances the voices of the chorus with quieter character moments.

BWW Review: THE COLOR PURPLE National Tour Presented by Dallas Summer Musicals
by Kyle Christopher West
- Jan 26, 2018
When THE COLOR PURPLE opened on Broadway in 2005 it was well received, thanks in large part to the support of producing partner Oprah Winfrey, whose performance in the film twenty years earlier earned her an Academy Award nomination. The show left New York on a high note in 2008 and continued to tour through three separate national tours for several years. Flash forward to 2015, and a new interpretation of the Broadway musical has made its way back to the Great White Way. And amongst the relevant #metoo movement, the compelling story of THE COLOR PURPLE sings louder and prouder today than ever.
