BWW Review: FIVE WOMEN WEARING THE SAME DRESS at Burbage Theatre Company
by Jay Pateakos - March 21, 2022

BWW Review: An Officer and a Gentleman at Providence Performing Arts Center
by Andria Tieman - February 20, 2022
The movie An Officer and a Gentleman came out in 1982 to both critical and popular acclaim, but turning this story into a jukebox musical many years later seems like a strange choice. The cast in this touring production are across the board excellent, but some of the musical choices seem forced, and the plot seems torn between conveying the serious themes of the movie and wanting to lean into the more cheesy aspects of the 80s. The result is an odd hodgepodge that suffers from an identity crisis, but is still entertaining thanks to the efforts and talents of the cast.
