The latest reviews and critic recommendations from Phoenix
BWW Review: SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE at Theatre Works

BWW Review: SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE at Theatre Works

by Jeanmarie Simpson — February 27, 2017
Alanna Kalbfleisch is an utter delight to see and hear, with luminous skin, bright eyes and dimples in both cheeks and chin. Let's face it. She's eye candy. As Dot/Marie, the comfortable authority with which Kalbfleisch moves about the stage suggests a lifetime of performance. Her voice is off-the-c...
BWW Review: MATILDA THE MUSICAL Is Magic At ASU Gammage

BWW Review: MATILDA THE MUSICAL Is Magic At ASU Gammage

by Erin Kong — February 13, 2017
While Matilda the Musical is silly, it is by no means lighthearted--rather, it is full of dark twists, and strong social messages about the cruelty of society, and the imagination that suffers because of it. The national tour of Matilda the Musical is based off of the classic children's novel by Ro...
BWW Review: Outstanding PETER AND THE STARCATCHER at Brelby Theatre Company

BWW Review: Outstanding PETER AND THE STARCATCHER at Brelby Theatre Company

by Jeanmarie Simpson — January 23, 2017
Now and then, but not often, a theatregoer experiences theatre that is THEATRE. Not theatre that tries to be film or television, but theatre that has the audacity to be theatrical. Theatre wherein the actor looks the witness in the eye and says, 'I know you know I'm an actor, and I know you're sitti...
BWW Review: LA ESQUINITA, USA at Temple Of Music And Art

BWW Review: LA ESQUINITA, USA at Temple Of Music And Art

by Maria Rita Meli — January 23, 2017
It's a small town, La Esquinita, USA. One, perhaps some of us are familiar with, while others not so much, but the story of such a place is not entirely uncommon....
BWW Review: A VERY HAIRY JAVELINA HOLIDAY at Childsplay Theatre

A Very Hairy Javelina Holiday has been in workshop for several years, and made its official debut at Childsplay Theatre this winter.

BWW Review: ANYTHING YOU CAN HEAR AND ONLY HALF OF WHAT YOU SEE Triumphs at Stray Cat Theatre

by Erin Kong — December 12, 2016
This Quentin Tarantino-style black comedy is written by Arizona native playwright and actor Ron Hunting, and runs through December 10 at Stray Cat Theatre for its world premiere. 'Anything You Hear and Only Half of What You See' is a dark, yet hilarious delight, driven by plot twist and turns that ...

BWW Review: THE TRUMP CARD at Stray Cat Theatre

BWW Review: THE TRUMP CARD at Stray Cat Theatre

by Herbert Paine — November 7, 2016
Mike Daisey's pre-Election monologue, THE TRUMP CARD, is a no holds barred diatribe to the choir about the 2016 celebrity candidate for the Presidency. Stray Cat Theatre's Ron May channels the author's snark and sarcasm with an intensity that is raw and visceral and engaging....

BWW Review: THE SOUND OF MUSIC Soars At ASU Gammage

BWW Review: THE SOUND OF MUSIC Soars At ASU Gammage

by Erin Kong — October 24, 2016
This national tour of The Sound of Music, is delightfully delectable, and most importantly different. Rodger and Hammerstein's much-loved The Sound of Music is the tale of postulant Maria who is hired as a governess for the militaristic Von Trapp family. The movie portrayal starring Julie Andrews le...
BWW Review: Childsplay Presents JUNIE B. JONES IS NOT A CROOK

BWW Review: Childsplay Presents JUNIE B. JONES IS NOT A CROOK

by Erin Kong — October 4, 2016
Reliving the innocence of youth comes only second to the joy of watching children experience theirs. Childsplay's production of Junie B. Jones Is Not A Crook is based off of the beloved book series by Barbara Park, featuring the hyperactive, imaginative Junie B. Jones as the star....
BWW Review: Phoenix Theatre Presents LIBERACE!

BWW Review: Phoenix Theatre Presents LIBERACE!

by Erin Kong — September 30, 2016
Phoenix Theatre's Liberace! tells the story of a lonely closeted man, former child prodigy pushed by his working-class overbearing father, who somehow became the highest-paid entertainer in the 1980's, and responsible for inspiring the eccentric styles of cultural icons today. His death made a spect...

BWW Review: Love Isn't Enough In THE LAST FIVE YEARS

BWW Review: Love Isn't Enough In THE LAST FIVE YEARS

by Erin Kong — September 20, 2016
Watching the story of 'The Last Five Years' is like watching a train wreck in slow motion. You know the impending tragedy, yet it is impossible to look away. It is a love story that is heartbreakingly relatable and incredibly painful to watch. 'The Last Five Years' is told through the eyes of Jamie ...
