Review Roundup: Rosie O'Donnell's COMMON KNOWLEDGE

Nicole Rosky • July 31, 2026

Rosie O'Donnell has returned to the New York City stage with her solo show, Common Knowledge, premiering Off-Broadway at the Daryl Roth Theatre. The eleven-time Emmy and Tony Award winner's new show will reflect on her move to her newly adopted hometown of Dublin, Ireland, the culture shift, family life, and the humbling and hilarious realization that maybe she doesn’t have it all figured out.

Review: GRUMPY OLD MEN: THE MUSICAL at Arizona Broadway Theatre

Review: GRUMPY OLD MEN: THE MUSICAL at Arizona Broadway Theatre

Phoenix: Herbert Paine • August 3, 2026

While the musical fails to rise above its familiar premise, director Clayton Phillips refuses to let the evening sag. He keeps the pacing brisk and draws fully committed performances from a cast that never stops believing in the story, even when the script gives them little to work with.

Review: THE ROSE TATTOO Blooms with Warmth and Heartbreak

Review: THE ROSE TATTOO Blooms with Warmth and Heartbreak

New Orleans: Tara Bennett • August 3, 2026

There's a moment early in the Tennessee Williams Theatre Company's new production of THE ROSE TATTOO when Kristin Witt's Serafina Delle Rose seems to dare the audience to laugh at her devotion and dares us, just as fiercely, not to. That tension between comedy and heartbreak is the needle this whole production has to thread, and under Witt's fearless, generous performance, it threads it beautifully. This isn't a play that makes room for half-measures, and neither does she.

Review: 9 TO 5 THE MUSICAL at Red Curtain Theatre in Conway

Review: 9 TO 5 THE MUSICAL at Red Curtain Theatre in Conway

Arkansas: Theresa Bertram • August 3, 2026

Even though I love me some Dolly Parton, I have never seen 9 to 5 the movie. I know—that probably shocks a lot of people! Somehow, one of Dolly's most iconic films has slipped through the cracks for me.

Review: Murkiness Mars Exiled Theatre's M: REFRACTIONS FROM AN EVIL ACT

Review: Murkiness Mars Exiled Theatre's M: REFRACTIONS FROM AN EVIL ACT

Boston: R. Scott Reedy • August 3, 2026

In a program note for his latest play, “M: Refractions from an Evil Act” – being given its world premiere production by Exiled Theatre through August 9 at Boston Playwrights' Theatre, as part of the company’s New Play Incubator program – playwright James Wilkinson, an IRNE nominee for his 2017 “Nurse Play,” writes, “This piece is based on a disastrous three-day weekend I once spent in Paris. Make of that what you may.”

Review: TERRY STEELE SINGS LUTHER VANDROSS...

Review: TERRY STEELE SINGS LUTHER VANDROSS...

Charlotte: Vickie Evans • August 3, 2026

. As a musical enthusiast at heart, I was excited by the opportunity to relive some of Luther's greatest hits, including 'Stop to Love,' 'So Amazing,' 'A House Is Not a Home,' and, of course, 'Here and Now'—the song that earned Luther his first Grammy Award. Terry Steele proved to be a consummate showman, much like Luther himself, delivering each selection with precision, passion, and heartfelt emotion. His smooth vocals and engaging stage presence immediately transported the audience back to the golden era of Luther Vandross.

Review: JULIUS CAESAR at Mānoa Valley Theatre

Review: JULIUS CAESAR at Mānoa Valley Theatre

Hawaii: F.H. Kekoa • August 3, 2026

Shakespeare’s timeless tale of power, corruption, and the court of public opinion has landed at Mānoa Valley Theatre, the second and final offering of the 25th Annual Hawai’i Shakespeare Festival.

Review: ROCKY at Freilichtspiele Tecklenburg

Review: ROCKY at Freilichtspiele Tecklenburg

Germany: Konstantin Georgiou • August 3, 2026

Zurück im Boxring: Nach meiner ersten Begegnung mit **ROCKY – Das Musical** im Hamburger Operettenhaus 2013 habe ich die aktuelle Inszenierung bei den Freilichtspielen Tecklenburg besucht. Warum die besondere Atmosphäre unter freiem Himmel der Geschichte sogar noch mehr Authentizität verleiht, weshalb Lucas Baier als Rocky begeistert und welche kleinen Kritikpunkte für mich bleiben, erfahrt ihr in meiner neuen BroadwayWorld-Review.

Review: THE FAIRY TALE MONOLOGUES at Riot Productions

Review: THE FAIRY TALE MONOLOGUES at Riot Productions

San Diego: ErinMarie Reiter • August 3, 2026

'The Fairytale Monologues' possesses an interesting idea and genuine potential while championing voices too often left out. As a new musical, it may still be finding its final form, but this is a fairy tale worth telling.

Review: THE DROWSY CHAPERONE at Susquehanna Stage

Review: THE DROWSY CHAPERONE at Susquehanna Stage

Central Pennsylvania: Jason Davis • August 3, 2026

Susquehanna Stage's *The Drowsy Chaperone* is a laugh-out-loud musical comedy packed with standout performances, infectious energy, and nonstop fun. A must-see celebration of live theater.

Review: A CHORUS LINE at Korsa Musical Theater

Review: A CHORUS LINE at Korsa Musical Theater

San Francisco / Bay Area: AJ Jaffari • August 3, 2026

Set during a Broadway audition, A Chorus Line strips away elaborate scenery and spectacle, allowing the performers—and their stories—to take center stage.
