Review: A CHORUS LINE at The 5th Avenue Theatre

Review: A CHORUS LINE at The 5th Avenue Theatre

Seattle: Jay Irwin • September 19, 2026

Dear Readers, I don’t mean to make anyone feel ancient but “A Chorus Line” is 51 years old! And the 5th Avenue Theatre dusting off the old girl for their current remount may feel like a bit of nostalgia. But if their spectacular production proves anything, it’s that “A Chorus Line” is still the masterpiece it always was.

Gunhild Carling at City Winery – One Dazzling Surprise After Another

Gunhild Carling at City Winery – One Dazzling Surprise After Another

Cabaret: Stephen Sorokoff • September 19, 2026

Like a magician who somehow keeps producing one dazzling surprise after another, musician extraordinaire Gunhild Carling had the audience on the edge of its seat as her jazz/pop music and showmanship delivered one thrilling song after another

Review: THE FABLE FESTIVAL AND MOTHER GOOSED at DreamWrights

Review: THE FABLE FESTIVAL AND MOTHER GOOSED at DreamWrights

Central Pennsylvania: Sandra Harberger • September 19, 2026

DreamWrights presents a double feature with The Fable Festival and Mother Goosed on stage from September 18th to 27th under the direction of Hannah Kuhn. The Fable Festival and Mother Goosed is filled with animals and nursery rhymes gone wrong. It is perfect for families with children. It’s also an excellent opportunity to support local playwrights. Congratulations to the winners of Dreamwrights’ Fable Festival!

Review: JOHN & JEN at La Grange at Bruxellons!

Review: JOHN & JEN at La Grange at Bruxellons!

France: Patrick Honoré • September 19, 2026

Tucked into La Grange's intimate corner of Bruxellons, Andrew Lippa's near-sung-through two-hander proves a musical can carry real psychological weight.

Review: THE LAST SHOW ON EARTH at ERA

Review: THE LAST SHOW ON EARTH at ERA

St. Louis: Steve Callahan • September 19, 2026

A profound and hilarious scattershot examination of AI and the end of the universe. Invigorating! Rejuvenating! Don't miss it!

Review: BEGIN AGAIN at The Old Globe

Review: BEGIN AGAIN at The Old Globe

San Diego: ErinMarie Reiter • September 19, 2026

'Begin Again' at the new musical The Old Globe has plenty of heart, terrific performances, and a theatrical imagination that makes making music feel almost tangible.

Review: BRIGHT STAR Shines at Lincoln Theatre Company

Review: BRIGHT STAR Shines at Lincoln Theatre Company

Sacramento: Courtney Symes • September 19, 2026

Some musicals sweep us away with their original story, while others win us over with their heart. Bright Star falls into the latter category. Written by Steve Martin and Edie Brickell, it tells a story of love, loss, and happiness after tragedy through bluegrass music with plenty of Southern charm.

Review: RENT at Bay Street Players

Review: RENT at Bay Street Players

Orlando: Julie Gardieff • September 18, 2026

How do you measure a year in the life?  This is the question that runs throughout the musical Rent.  I had the opportunity to see Bay Street Players opening night production.

Review: COME FROM AWAY at Texarkana Repertory Company

Review: COME FROM AWAY at Texarkana Repertory Company

Arkansas: Theresa Bertram • September 18, 2026

This year marks the 25th anniversary of 9/11, a day that forever changed our country and the lives of so many people around the world. For those of us who remember September 11, 2001, certain images and emotions never completely leave us. We remember where we were. We remember the fear and uncertainty. We remember watching the news and trying to comprehend what was happening.
