Vaudevilles traditionally lean far more on entertainment than on any moral or philosophical lessons, and the goal of Drew Anthony Creative’s production of CHICAGO (subtitles ‘A musical vaudeville) is simply that; a cast of entertainers, entertaining.

Review: BECOMING ELIZA at His Majesty's Theatre
by David Bravos - August 22, 2022
What did our critic think of BECOMING ELIZA at His Majesty's Theatre? Anna O'Byrne has led quite the life, with a theatre resume that many could only dream of.
