What did our critic think of HESTER STREET at Theater J?

What did our critic think of THE FAR COUNTRY at Berkeley Repertory Theatre? The Far Country is a beautiful tale that resonates with history – one that is largely unknown to most of us. It is the story of how war and poverty can and does tear families apart.

The painful slow journey for understanding as to what normalcy or perceived sanity is --when a family member is suffering from bipolar illness--- is explored with heartbreaking poignancy, almost brutal honesty and with deadpan caustic humor in the musical Next to Normal. Now playing at Bethesda’s Round House Theatre, this almost totally sung-through musical caught me up in its oddly satisfying emotional pulse. I fell into its compelling pull as the trauma of a family experiencing the highs and lows of bipolar illness unfolded.

Roundabout Theatre Company is presenting the world premiere of Jonah by Rachel Bonds, directed by Danya Taymor, which opens tomorrow, February 1. Check out footage!

See first look photos! The highly-anticipated groundbreaking, Tony Award- and Pulitzer Prize-winning rock musical Next to Normal (book and lyrics by Brian Yorkey, and music by Tom Kitt), opens tonight, January 29, 2024, at Round House Theatre, co-produced with Barrington Stage Company.

A pleasantly diverting spectacle.
