Review: THE WIZARD OF OZ at Hale Centre Theatre

Review: THE WIZARD OF OZ at Hale Centre Theatre

by Cheyenne Lewis — May 19, 2026
Nearly 90 years after the film premiered and over 120 years since the novel was published, this great American fairytale is a story to love. This rendition of the musical is great for people both young and old. There’s no place to see THE WIZARD OF OZ like Hale Centre Theatre....
Review: OUTSIDE MULLINGAR at Theatre Artists Studio

Review: OUTSIDE MULLINGAR at Theatre Artists Studio

by Herbert Paine — May 18, 2026
There are productions that succeed because the script is strong, and productions that succeed because performers manage to elevate familiar material. Theatre Artists Studio’s production of John Patrick Shanley’s OUTSIDE MULLINGAR achieves something rarer: a complete unity of tone, performance, l...

Review: EL DORADO’S GOLD at The Bridge Initiative And Simply Livin’ Productions

Review: EL DORADO’S GOLD at The Bridge Initiative And Simply Livin’ Productions

by Cheyenne Lewis — May 8, 2026
Black cowboys and the Black rodeo have a rich history that continues to this day. Although this side of history was not acknowledged in the way it deserved to be, EL DORADO’S GOLD is a great tribute to Black cowboy culture. EL DORADO’S GOLD touches on so many topics, from the history of the Fula...

Review: HELL'S KITCHEN at ASU Gammage

Review: HELL'S KITCHEN at ASU Gammage

by Herbert Paine — April 29, 2026
HELL’S KITCHEN leaves you with the sensation that at the very least Alicia Keys has done something instinctively theatrical: she’s turned the noise of her youth into music, and the city that raised her into a stage big enough to contain it....
Review: MAZEL at Theatre Artists Studio

Review: MAZEL at Theatre Artists Studio

by Herbert Paine — April 27, 2026
Theatre Artists Studio's production of Amy Hartman's MAZEL has ended its run, but its themes of remembering, reconciliation, and forgiveness echo beyond the stage. Under Kathleen Butler's direction, the play, which was conceived in 2006, arrives in reworked form at a moment when its central question...

Review: THE NOTEBOOK at ASU Gammage

Review: THE NOTEBOOK at ASU Gammage

by Cheyenne Lewis — April 8, 2026
Love is one of the most wonderful parts of human existence; it is beautiful, but one of the hardest things a person can experience. Love is not just a feeling, but a venture that must constantly be worked at and put effort into to be maintained. THE NOTEBOOK, currently playing at ASU Gammage and bas...

Review: THE COCOANUTS at Fountain Hills Theater

Review: THE COCOANUTS at Fountain Hills Theater

by Herbert Paine — March 31, 2026
By the mid-1920s the Marx Brothers (Groucho, Harpo, Chico, and Zeppo) were already well known on the vaudeville circuit. Broadway gave their mayhem a larger canvas. Producer Sam Harris commissioned a musical comedy built around them, pairing their improvisational chaos with the polish of Berlin’s ...

Review: SIX at ASU Gammage

Review: SIX at ASU Gammage

by Herbert Paine — March 18, 2026
What’s more satisfying than watching six wronged women reclaim their power? Watching them do it in rhinestone corsets, backed by a thunderous girl band and enough LED lighting to short-circuit Times Square. SIX, the British import that’s barreled from university revue to Broadway headliner like ...
