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 This kicky, soulful musical comedy may be slightly outdated already, but it's got heels full of heart.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.

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.
BWW Review: SUMMER at Benedum Center brings back the 'Last Dance' of the Disco Era
While I have my music-nerd quibbles, this is pretty damn good for a non-union touring production.
BWW Review: SLOW FOOD at Pittsburgh Public Theater is Sartre Meets Seinfeld in a Greek Restaurant
Hell is other people's favorite restaurant in Wendy MacLeod's quirky date-night comedy.
BWW Review: A BROADWAY CELEBRATION Brings the Music Back at Heinz Field
It's hard to argue with the line-up for Pittsburgh CLO's star-studded concert anniversary.
BWW Review: PIXELATED Rocks the BITES AND PINTS FESTIVAL at Kennywood Park
You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone, and that includes live event entertainers at your local theme park.
BWW Review: THE CATASTROPHIST at City Theatre Blurs Genres and Experiments with Perception
Part play, part TED Talk, and part experimental film, Lauren M.

On February 14, 2021, Valentine’s Day, Pittsburgh Festival Opera presented seven singers in a romantic concert entitled Some Enchanted Evening.
BWW Review: WILD at Quantum Theatre May Be Dated, But It's Not Outdated
Sure, this espionage thriller may be treading old ground, but that's just because nothing has changed.
BWW Review: Manual Cinema's FRANKENSTEIN at City Theatre Is The World's Artsiest Drive-In Movie
Is it a play? Is it a movie? Is it a dance show? Who cares, it's 'Frankenstein!'
