Review: CLOUD 9: The Inheritance of Empire at The Rogue Theatre
by Robert Encila-Celdran - November 11, 2025
Some art offends not out of malice, but out of necessity. It erodes our defenses and upsets the hierarchies we've internalized for generations. Cloud 9 thrives in that awkward space where laughter and shock trade places. Caryl Churchill's comedy, though seemingly gratuitous, diagnoses our assumptions about who truly holds power.

Feature: LEA SALONGA: COMING FULL CIRCLE ON THE WORLD STAGE at Fox Tucson Theatre
by Robert Encila-Celdran - November 11, 2025
For Filipino performers of my generation, Lea Salonga has always been both. Her voice was a map homeward and outward at once: the sound of possibility breaking through perceived cultural ceilings.

Feature: Tony Award-Winner Lea Salonga Is Coming Full Circle on the World Stage
by Robert Encila-Celdran - November 10, 2025
Even in a nation celebrated for its singers, Lea Salonga occupies a realm entirely her own. Her distinction lies not in her crystalline tone, but in the intelligence that animates it—the deliberate thought, the emotional architecture of each phrase. She sings with an actor's intuition and a philosopher's clarity. Her voice doesn't simply ascend; it unveils.

Review: & JULIET at ASU Gammage
by Herbert Paine - November 05, 2025
In the Tony-nominated musical & Juliet, it’s as if William Shakespeare was handed a bedazzled microphone and told to start writing Romeo and Juliet all over again, only this time he should make it a fizzy, whirling pop fantasia that pulses with enough pop/rock earworms to play in your head on an endless loop for days.

Review: LOOKING OVER THE PRESIDENT'S SHOULDER at The Phoenix Theatre Company
by Herbert Paine - November 03, 2025
Though modest in scale, Chanel Bragg’s and Kelcey Watson’s production achieves gravitas, a testament to a life fully lived in history’s shadows. They have turned Still’s monologue into a reminder that history is shaped not only by those in power but also by those who carried the trays, polished the silver, and stood just behind them.
