Beneath its intellect, 'Arcadia' beats a heart that reminds us that even as the universe moves inexorably toward disorder, people continue to love, to learn, to dance, and to search for meaning.

What did our critic think of FOOL FOR LOVE at Sterling Stage Austin?
An Evening with Sutton Foster and Kelli O’Hara at the San Francisco Symphony is exactly the kind of event that reminds you why live performance is so magical. Inspired by the legendary 1962 television special featuring Carol Burnett and Julie Andrews, the evening celebrates not only two extraordinary contemporary performers, but also the timeless joy of song, storytelling, and musical theatre itself. Rather than simply presenting a concert, Foster and O’Hara crafted an affectionate homage to the women who paved the way for generations of Broadway artists.
When I think of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, I don't think of camp. It's content and presentation are typically really earnest. But the Taproot Theatre’s latest production leans into ‘camp’ in every sense of the word. Set in a children’s summer camp talent show, this production finds a fresh, loud, and approachable entry point into a familiar tale, resulting in a production packed with energy, humor, and enough spectacle to entertain the whole family.
Fly North has staged a solid and frightening production of Sweeney Todd. It is impressive that Healy and his Fly North team chose to stage an epic musical in a very small space with just 12 actors. The company was led by Chandler Spradling as Sweeney Todd and Jennelle Gilreath-Owens as Mrs. Lovett. The cast, including Parker Miller, Nathan Hakenewerth, Rachel Bailey, Margaret Beekman, Ken Haller, Matt Ingram, Dereis Lambert, Mia Millican, Crispin Shininger, and Isobel Ramsey sings their faces off with haunting vocals that add to the production’s sinister eeriness.
A monumental production, brilliantly directed and choreographed by Brendan Stackhouse and true to Victor Hugo's vision.
AS YOU LIKE IT at CASALE DEI CEDRATI - VILLA PAMPHILI SHAKESPEARE IN LINGUA ORIGINALE PER FESTEGGIARE IL TRENTENNALE DELL'ENGLISH THEATRE OF ROME
Die charmanten Interpretationen der Beatles-Hits, allen voran „I Want to Hold Your Hand“, sorgten für beste Stimmung, und besonders die Running Gags rund um den Piloten Jean-Pierre brachten das Publikum immer wieder zum Lachen. Meine persönliche Favoritin war einmal mehr Miriam Distelkamp, ohne dass die starken Leistungen ihrer beiden Kolleginnen dadurch in den Schatten gestellt wurden. Lediglich der teilweise etwas altmodische Klischeehumor rund um die französische Sprache hätte für meinen Geschmack moderner ausfallen dürfen. Insgesamt aber ein sehr unterhaltsamer Theaterabend, den ich Beatles-Fans und Freunden des Boulevardtheaters gleichermaßen empfehlen kann.
A compilation of thoughts from days 1, 2 & 4
Andrea Parson's solo show turns a very personal search for love into a funny, engaging, and highly relatable journey, whether or not you’ve ever stood at the altar of your own expectations about finding the one.
The best thing about reviewing new works is that you can go into it with a clean slate. What I witnessed was a smart production by an experienced cast and crew, with an engaged audience: The holy trinity for a successful new play.
