Broadway Show Reviews & Critics' Ratings

The DeLorean in the photo looks cute, but the car star of Back to the Future: The Musical (BTTF), at the Kennedy Center through August 11, goes extremely way past cute when Marty McFly and Doc start driving.

Blake Proehl, a former NFL player and Minnesota Vikings wide receiver, experienced an unfortunate injury during his rookie season that put his football career on hold. During his recovery, Blake discovered a new passion and talent: singing and music. He shared a surprise video of himself singing with his nana, which went viral on TikTok. Blake was most recently seen as a top 24 finalist on American Idol.

What did our critic think of DISNEY AND CAMERON MACKINTOSH'S MARY POPPINS at South Arkansas Arts Center?

What did our critic think of RENCANA JENG LISTY at D'Artbeat?

MOULIN ROUGE The Musical Is something entirely new to the wave of Juke Box musicals overwhelming the Great White Way.  It is big, bold, brassy, and projects an altogether sexy sumptuousness while maintaining a sense of humor about itself. The audience leaves the theater on a massive sugar high, fully entertained. The dancing, vocals, lighting, sets, and orchestrations are all “par excellence.”   It may not be challenging  theater, but MOULIN ROUGE is great entertainment. 

Based on playwright and lead actor Tom Alper’s real life experiences, this is a boiler room tale of telemarketing and desperation.  For something that is fiercely realistic and edgy, with a New York fighter’s indie heart, The Pitch is also hilarious, life-affirming, and an insanely good time.  It’s a sold-out smash hit at the Odyssey Theatre.

There’s been a number of skill-based shows in London of late, and joining the current trend is Afrique en Cirque created by Yamoussa Bangoura, at the Queen Elizabeth Hall.

Joshua Robson Productions (formerly Blue Saint Productions) brings Luke Joslin’s (Director) production of Lin-Manuel Miranda (Concept, music and lyrics) and Quiara Alegria Hudes (Book) Tony Award Winning and Pulitzer Prize Finalist musical IN THE HEIGHTS, back to Sydney Opera House.

What did our critic think of SOCIAL TANGO PROJECT at National Arts Centre?

There are a few Indy performers whose name alone is enough to get me to their show. Ben Asaykwee and Claire Wilcher are two of those actors. They’ve come together for “White City Murder”, an original musical Asaykwee created about the serial killer H.H. Holmes, who made his mark at the Chicago’s World Fair in 1893.

Pilobolus comes to The Joyce Theater for a two-week residency and New York metro audiences will be delighted and enthralled by the programs they are presenting.

Filled with high-energy singing and dancing that explodes out of an inspirational story based on real events, MTW's new production of this Disney stage musical is a guaranteed fun time, thanks to a terrific ensemble, and memorable music from Alan Menken and Jack Feldman. The show continues at the Carpenter Performing Arts Center thru July 28, 2024.

Bonjour! If you are looking for an international trip with the tiny kiddos but don’t necessarily want to fly to Paris, join our friends at the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts in Little Rock for their final showing of A TALE OF TWO FLURFFYS this Saturday, July 27 at 11am and again at 12pm as Flurffy goes missing.

New musical runs into familiar structural issues but has strong singing and pleasing songs

Der er ingen ende for begejstringen hos ungerne på syv og ni år efter årets Cirkus Summarum i Aarhus.

Matthew Bourne brings sensational dance routines to the stage, adding a cherry to the cake of one of the greatest scores in musical theatre history

The best part of summer is Broadway at Music Circus and, as we pass the halfway mark in the season, we are treated to the Tony Award-winning noir piece from Andrew Lloyd Webber, Sunset Blvd. It transports us back in time to a forgotten world of silent films, glamour, and a certain elegance that has been slowly eroded by progress. The allure of old Hollywood is mesmerizing in director Glenn Casale’s triumph of the 2024 season, where he weaves a spellbinding orb of madness, desperation, and ambition.

What did our critic think of SLOW FOOD at Wichita Community Theatre?

An opera doesn’t have to be totally obscure to catch Will Crutchfield’s bel canto eye—but it couldn’t hurt. ANNA DI RESBURGO (ANNE OF ROXBURGH), the first of the two works on this summer’s schedule of the maestro’s company, Teatro Nuovo, certainly falls into that category.

Australian smash hit Fangirls encapsulates everything it is to be a mega fan of something. A sequin-embellished crusade of obsession and desperation, Yve Blake’s musical stretches from euphoric highs to gutting lows, without ever losing its sense of fun.
