Review: WHAT THE CONSTITUTION MEANS TO ME Combines Brecht and NPR at City Theatre
Pleasantly disorienting, this pseudo-docutheatre raises questions large and small.

Review: KINKY BOOTS Rocks its Regional Premiere at The Lamp Theatre
A stripped-down presentation and some local grit (plus actual queens) helps this show find its footing in a small production.
Review: HAIRSPRAY at Benedum Center Is A New Golden Oldie
This super-sixties musical continues to feel fresh, while also seeming like it's been around forever.
Review: A CHRISTMAS STORY Is A Perfect Salty Cookie at Pittsburgh Public Theater
The smartest, stupidest, most beloved Christmas tale of the twentieth century comes to life, and then some, in Michael Berresse's farcical production.
Review: FRONT PORCH CABARET Reunites Old Friends at Front Porch Theatricals
Front Porch announces a season of Finn and Sondheim, in an evening of song and stories.
Review: HADESTOWN Exceeds the Hype at Benedum Center
The gritty folk-opera sensation isn't the second coming of Hamilton, it's the second coming of RENT.
Review: FRANKENSTEIN Resurrects a Classic at Prime Stage
What did our critic think of FRANKENSTEIN at Prime Stage? I'm a lifelong horror buff, devouring the Famous Monsters of Filmland on celluloid and printed page, as well as the artsy, philosophical 'elevated horror' that has become a literary and cinematic movement in the last decade.
Review: FROZEN Is an Icy Blast at Benedum Center
Disney's biggest 'princess show' ever is weirder and more fun than you remember.
Review: GRAND HOTEL Seasons Melodrama with Melody at Front Porch Theatricals
The New Hazlett is the perfect place for this sophisticated, wildly ambitious, almost overstuffed, musical soap opera.
Review: Pittsburgh CLO's SISTER ACT Brings Disco Delight at Benedum Center
What a way to end the season- a toe-tapping, hilarious disco throwback.
Review: Pittsburgh CLO Slightly Reinvents GODSPELL at Benedum Center
Pittsburgh's greatest musical theatre creation comes home, in a production that's something old, something new.
Review: LEND ME A TENOR Brings Classic Laughs at Saint Vincent Summer Theater
What did our critic think? A local institution reborn post-pandemic, the summer farce at Saint Vincent returns with a bang.
Review: Pittsburgh CLO's KINKY BOOTS Makes Everybody Say 'Yeah!' at Benedum Center
What did our critic think? This kicky, soulful musical comedy may be slightly outdated already, but it's got heels full of heart.
Review: PUFFS Provides Hilarious, Filthy Fun at CLO Cabaret
The adult-oriented evening performances of the Potter parody are a gut-busting mix of improv, nostalgia and theatre magic.
Review: Pittsburgh CLO's THE DROWSY CHAPERONE Produces an Unexpected Understudy at Benedum Center
What did our critic think? This 'good musical about a bad musical' is full of surprises, and none greater than the Saturday matinee.
Review: NUNSENSE Proves a Hard Habit to Break at Saint Vincent Summer Theater
It may be a product of its time, but what a surprisingly weird, subversive show it can be.
BWW Review: ROCK OF AGES Burns Down the House at The Lamp Theater
What did our critic think? Split Stage continues to provide a haven for adult-oriented semi-pro theatre.
BWW Review: BITES AND PINTS FESTIVAL Returns Live Music and Delicious Food to Kennywood Park
What did our critic think? There are a few cultural institutions in the Pittsburgh area of which I'm not just a supporter, I'm an outright stan.
BWW Review: JERSEY BOYS Sings Tight, Sweet Harmony at Benedum Center
Des McAnuff's once-revolutionary 'biopic musical' is still the best in its genre.
BWW Review: AIN'T TOO PROUD at Benedum Center Rocks the House
Des McAnuff's slick docudrama production style may not be anything new, but it still works like a charm.
BWW Review: MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS Blends Comedy and Crime at Pittsburgh Public Theater
Ken Ludwig's farce-mystery hybrid works much better than you'd imagine.
BWW Review: HAMILTON at Benedum Center
At this point, writing a review of Lin-Manuel Miranda's almost infamously popular hip-hop musical feels redudant.
BWW Review: PRETTY WOMAN Makes Dreams Come True at Benedum Center
It may not be a musical anyone especially asked for, but a winning cast and some splashy production makes this one a winner anyway.
BWW Review: OKLAHOMA! Shakes Up Expectations at Benedum Center
You owe it to yourself to see the most divisive musical of the year.
BWW Review: AN UNTITLED NEW PLAY BY JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE at City Theatre and THE THANKSGIVING PLAY at Arcade Comedy Theater Sing the Praises of the Dramaturge
Pop culture is full of paeans to the composer or the playwright; just this past fall, Andrew Garfield starred in Tick Tick.
