Review: WITNESS FOR THE PROSECUTION at Shaw Festival
Toronto: Michael Rabice on June 17, 2024 Time travel back to the age of film noir when black and white movie dramas were played to the hilt with overarching mannerisms, full of prototypical characters and not too subtle close ups full of tension inducing musical scores.

Review: 9 TO 5 at Music Theatre of Wichita at Century II Concert Hall
Wichita: Paula Makar on June 16, 2024 What did our critic think of 9 TO 5 at Music Theatre Of Wichita At Century II Concert Hall?9 to 5 is one of my favorite shows - it’s entertaining, it’s full of comedic moments, and it has some great lessons in self love, trusting your instincts, and believing in yourself. It shows us not only how far we have come in terms of respecting women’s rights, but also shows us how much more needs to be done in terms of equal rights for not only women, but for all minority groups.

Review: R.A.V.E. at Outside The March
Toronto: Ilana Lucas on June 16, 2024 Like its main character, R.A.V.E. is weighed down by some overly ambitious intersectional goals; however, as a party and as an emotional experience, it earns a R.A.V.E. review.A.V.E. at Outside The March?

Review: MRS. DOUBTFIRE at Pantages Theatre
Los Angeles: Harker Jones on June 16, 2024 The problem is not that it’s bad — it’s certainly serviceable — so much as it’s unmemorable. Something that should never be said about a character as dynamic as Mrs. Doubtfire.
Review: Robert Bannon's PRIDE PLAYLIST at 54 Below Is a Celebration!
Cabaret: Nathan Johnson on June 16, 2024 Robert is a party and always has a genuine smile on his face, as if, in his own impish way, he is inviting anyone with joy in their hearts to join him. I will say, there is one major flaw with every Robert Bannon show, at least the two I’ve seen: they aren’t long enough!
