Review Roundup: Did CATS in London Make The Critics Purr With Delight?

Review Roundup: Did CATS in London Make The Critics Purr With Delight?

Aliya Al-Hassan • August 7, 2026

There's no better way to introduce your family to the wonders of live theatre than with the magic, the mystery, the memory of Cats. What began as a musical about cats after Andrew Lloyd Webber picked up a book of poems in an airport bookshop has become one of the longest running shows in Broadway's history. Winner of seven Tony Awards including Best Musical, Cats features 20 of Andrew Lloyd Webber's timeless melodies, including the hit song 'Memory.' What did the critics think of Drew McOnie's new production?

Review: KIMBERLY AKIMBO at Theater Palisades At The Odyssey

Review: KIMBERLY AKIMBO at Theater Palisades At The Odyssey

Los Angeles: Evan Henerson • August 27, 2026

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.

Review: COME FROM AWAY at The Topfer At Zach Theater

Review: COME FROM AWAY at The Topfer At Zach Theater

Austin: Sabrina Wallace • August 27, 2026

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.

Review: HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD at Paramount Theatre

Review: HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD at Paramount Theatre

Seattle: Jay Irwin • August 27, 2026

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.

Review: Travel AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS at B St. Theatre

Review: Travel AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS at B St. Theatre

Sacramento: Courtney Symes • August 27, 2026

The B St. Theatre is taking us on a magical journey again, and this time it’s a long one. Eighty days, to be exact. Although it’s been done before, this adaptation of Around the World in 80 Days feels fresh and exciting. Scenic design by Ian Wallace and a brand-new rotating stage breathe new life into Mark Brown’s adaptation of the Jules Verne classic.

Review: THOMAS RHETT: 'SOUND TRACK TO LIFE TOUR' at Acrisure Amphitheater

Michigan: Brian Hilbrand • August 26, 2026

We were fortunate to head back out to the Accurasure Amplitheatre last weekend for the Thomas Rhett The Soundtrack to Life tour, with special guests Conner Smith and Emily Ann Roberts (who had a very Dolly Parton-style approach to singing and storytelling).
