It deserves a large run, but the Stinson House space makes it all so immediate. You will feel lucky if you get through the door.
While it was only one part of the Ukrainian Freedom Orchestra’s concert, under Keri-Lyn Wilson, at Geffen Hall the other night, there’s no denying that the centerpiece was Richard Strauss’s FOUR LAST SONGS with the brilliant soprano Lise Davidsen—one of the Met’s star attractions these days.
What did our caIn the ever-growing list of bio-jukebox musicals, it was only a matter of time before the king of Rock and Roll got his very own. Heartbreak Hotel tells the story of Elvis Presley from childhood all the way through the late 60s, chronicling his meteoric rise to fame. The show explores his collaboration with Sun Records producer Sam Phillips and the cultural shift of early rock and roll.ritic think of HEARTBREAK HOTEL at Derby Dinner Playhouse?

When I went to see Jonathan Erlandson Magic at the Historic Malco Theatre in downtown Hot Springs, the magic wasn't just theatrical, it was happening right in front of my eyes! And despite watching very closely, I still have absolutely no idea how he did any of it!
The current production at the Drury Lane Theatre in Oakbrook Terrace is Buddy: the Buddy Holly Story. It was the first of the jukebox musicals premiering in 1989. It was conceived and written in England. It ran in London’s West End for 12 years. An interesting fact: Paul McCartney holds the copyright to Buddy’s music. He supported the idea and the show was produced.
In a time of increased political insecurity, Sondheim and company's parable of nihilism and the American Dream still hits home.
A producer of cabaret, Pier Lamia Porter has stepped into the light and an audience has discovered a new star.
'Never work with kids or animals.' This is advice that the Aurora Theatre in Lawrenceville has doubly ignored with their current production of the musical Annie. Thankfully so, since the child stars dazzle - and the dog does too.

TP’s production of Abaire’s KIMBERLY AKIMBO, the 2000 play, not the musical, is a potent concoction of pitch-black humor, family dysfunction and unexpected does of sweetness that one would not expect out of a tale this offbeat.
ZACH Theatre’s Come From Away is a joyous, almost flawless production powered by a superb ensemble, clever staging, and infectious music. This true story of strangers helping strangers finds humor and hope in tragedy and leaves you with a warm reminder of what people can be.
Dear Readers, when discussing the play “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child”, currently playing at the Paramount Theatre, we need to consider things in two time frames, B.C. and A.C., Before Covid and After Covid. B.C. the show was only in select places such as New York, London, and San Francisco, and was a two-show experience (either on two successive nights or in the same day for a matinee and evening). A.C., where we obviously are now, the show is still in London, New York, and elsewhere, and is also touring the country (hence being here in Seattle), and is a condensed one show affair, clocking in at almost 3 hours. I managed to see it B.C. in both New York and San Francisco. So, how does B.C. compare to A.C., and how is the show on tour? Well, it’s still a spectacle, only a little less spectacular, and it feels like less of an event and more of just a show. But we’ll get into that.
