by Lee Cooley - May 09, 2022

BWW Review: JUSTICE Gets It Done Where Decisions are Made
by Robert Encila-Celdran - April 25, 2022
There's a lavish public appetite for musicals these days. Chalk it up, perhaps, to a creative vengeance after a stifling pandemic.

BWW Review: HIGH FIDELITY: A Mixtape of Middling Music and Stellar Cast at Arizona Repertory Theatre
by Robert Encila-Celdran - April 24, 2022
The central allure of every iteration is Hornsby's self-absorbed protagonist, Rob Gordon, a 30-something owner of a vinyl record store who suffers from a deficiency of emotional refinement. The first-person narrative gives us a torrent of insights into Rob's pedestrian existence and relationship complications induced by his lack of accountability. Hornsby endows Rob with self-deprecating wit and a listless regard for social norms that we end up liking the guy anyway.
