BWW Reviews: Broadway's Outstanding ONCE Kicks Off National Tour at PPAC
by Robert Barossi - October 03, 2013
There is no denying that the transition from film to musical can be a tricky one. It's likely even trickier when the film was a small-budget, minimalist piece, with only two main characters and a fairly somber, melancholy tone. It helps, though, when the film includes amazing, award-winning music, which will translate perfectly to the stage. In this case, the movie is Once, an Irish musical/film which was released in 2007, became an indie darling and then went on to become a major mainstream success. That success included an Independent Spirit Award for Best Foreign Film and an Academy Award for Best Original Song. Made for around $150,000 and shot in 17 days, it went on to gross twenty million dollars worldwide and earned critical raves. It was then developed as a musical at the American Repertory Theater in Boston and eventually opened on Broadway in 2012, winning that year's Tony Award for Best Musical.

BWW Reviews: Wilbury Group Lights Up the Stage with High-Energy DETROIT
by Robert Barossi - September 24, 2013
In terms of longevity and legacy, The Wilbury Group is still one of the newest kids on the block in the Rhode Island theater community. Founded only three years ago, in 2010, they have been growing quickly, moving last season into a new space where they have settled in very nicely. Along with finding their home as far as the physical space is concerned, they also have begun to find their groove, artistically and technically. If the first play of this season is any indication, they are ready for another big growth spurt and area audiences are in for some exciting, riveting works of theater. Detroit is a play that begins with a simple enough premise. A couple living in an upper middle-class suburb have invited their new neighbors over for a barbecue. The suburb could be just outside of the titular city or it could be anywhere in the United States. Middle-aged and seemingly well-off, the first couple are either the picture of suburban harmony or they are trying very hard to fake it. The other couple, younger and definitely lower in class, are just recently out of rehab and everything about them indicates a struggle and desire to make their lives work, if they can only figure out how.

BWW Reviews: Gamm's Impressive Double Bill A NUMBER and FAR AWAY Gets Season of to Exciting Start
by Robert Barossi - September 20, 2013
One of the many great aspects of Rhode Island's theater community is the presence of companies and artists who are willing to take some risks. They don't always play it safe. They don't just do shows that are easy or simple or uncomplicated. There are at least a few area theaters that frequently put on productios of complicated, difficult, disturbing or thought-provoking works. The Sandra Feinstein Gamm Theatre is one of those companies and they have begun their season with another complex and even puzzling production. This time, it's actually two plays, a double bill from English playwright Caryl Churchill, A Number and Far Away.

by BWW News Desk - September 19, 2013
From Chicago's Steppenwolf Theatre comes a new x-ray of the embattled American psyche.
