Review: THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre

Indianapolis: Melissa Hall • July 21, 2026

Sometimes you just need to laugh. When that’s the case, The Play That Goes Wrong does not disappoint. The show is still a smash hit on Broadway and the current Beef & Boards production embraces the madcap entertainment in its current production.

Review: THE ADDAMS FAMILY at Magnolia Musical Theatre

Review: THE ADDAMS FAMILY at Magnolia Musical Theatre

Austin: Sabrina Wallace • July 21, 2026

They're creepy, they're kooky... and still irresistible. Magnolia Musical Theatre's free outdoor production of The Addams Family blends laughter, heart and memorable performances into a wonderfully entertaining evening beneath the Texas sky. Regional theatre at its best.

Review: Eclipse Studios' ECLIPSE D'AMOUR: A Parody of a Spectacle

Indonesia: Nabila Hananti • July 21, 2026

On the 6th, 8th, and 12-14 February 2026, Eclipse Studios hosted ECLIPSE D'AMOUR, their “immersive murder mystery experience disguised as a reality dating show”.

Review: TWELFTH NIGHT at Shakespeare Theatre Company Academy

Review: ARCADIA at Cygnet Theatre

Review: ARCADIA at Cygnet Theatre

San Diego: ErinMarie Reiter • July 21, 2026

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. Cygnet's elegant production embraces that paradox, leaving audiences with plenty to ponder long after the final waltz.

Review: 1776 at Gettysburg Community Theatre

Gettysburg Community Theatre’s production of 1776 is powerful, entertaining, and thought-provoking. Their whole run has sold out, but this reviewer is looking forward to seeing their next production.

Review: AN EVENING WITH SUTTON FOSTER & KELLI O'HARA at San Francisco Symphony

Review: AN EVENING WITH SUTTON FOSTER & KELLI O'HARA at San Francisco Symphony

San Francisco / Bay Area: AJ Jaffari • July 20, 2026

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.

Review: JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT at Taproot Theatre

Review: JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT at Taproot Theatre

Seattle: Amelia Divine • July 20, 2026

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.

Review: SWEENEY TODD at Greenfinch Theater And Dive Bar is Killer Entertainment

Review: SWEENEY TODD at Greenfinch Theater And Dive Bar is Killer Entertainment

St. Louis: James Lindhorst • July 20, 2026

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.
