Every so often a musical comes along that is just pure fun.
BWW Reviews: BIG RIVER at Music Circus Delivers Big Emotions
'Big River' at Sacramento Music Circus is the show to see this summer.
BWW Reviews: A Weekend in Wine Country - Transcendence Theatre, Sonoma Valley Inn, Wine Tastings and More!
Sonoma County is known as the wine lover's dream destination.
BWW Reviews: Music Circus Provides a 'Loverly' MY FAIR LADY
Music Circus opened its 2015 season Tuesday evening with Glenn Casale's enchanting production of the Lerner and Loewe classic "My Fair Lady.
BWW Reviews: CINDERELLA Gets the Royal Treatment
Originally written for film and often seen on stage, Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella has kept a solid heart over the years, with each adaptation featuring some unique song or casting choice.
BWW Reviews: SPAMALOT at Playhouse Merced Full of Laughs
And the Arthur Award goes to… Playhouse Merced for its production of Monty Python's Spamalot.
BWW Reviews: DOGFIGHT at Green Valley Theatre
Dogfight, playing now through May 17 at Green Valley Theatre Company, definitely fits into the 'Something Else' category of the company's slogan: Classics.
BWW Reviews: ONCE Awes in Sacramento
Perhaps the show's title comes from its surprisingly magical "once upon a time" storytelling.
BWW Reviews: NICE WORK IF YOU CAN GET IT is 'Delishious' Broadway Fare
The Broadway production of "Nice Work If You Can Get It" played for just over a year in New York with the fame factor of Matthew Broderick and Kelli O'Hara pulling in audiences.
BWW Reviews: INTO THE WOODS a Wish Come True
Be careful what you wish for… but if your wish is for great theatre, your wish is granted.
BWW Reviews: MAMMA MIA a Crowd Pleaser
Mamma Mia! Here we go again! The sensational Abba-inspired tour returned to the Gallo Center for the Arts Thursday evening with yet another sold-out run ahead.
BWW Reviews: JOSEPH a Technicolor Surprise at CALMT
Andrew Lloyd Weber and Tim Rice wrote Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat as a mosaic of musical styles and humor, meaning any dream will do for design and concept.
BWW Reviews: CAMELOT a Dazzling Masterpiece
The lyrics tell all.
BWW Reviews: BEAUTY & THE BEAST in Fresno
The newer production of the musical, which I have seen twice before in addition to the Broadway production, moves at a quick pace with added slapstick humor and a gorgeous aesthetic.
BWW Reviews: THE HOUSE OF YES at GLM
Wendy Macleod's play, The House of Yes puts the funk in dysfunctional, but without the 'n,' if you get my drift.
BWW Interviews: John Frederick - Reno Renaissance Man
It's really interesting to me in any kind of Shakespeare how people speak in definites, when there's no way to know them.
BWW Reviews: B Street Theatre's THE FLYING MACHINE
The famed Wright brothers, inventors and aviation pioneers, come to the stage in a beautifully realized adaptation of The Flying Machine at B Street Theatre.
BWW Reviews: Sutter Street Theatre's EVIL DEAD THE MUSICAL
The show itself is hilarious - extremely campy and entirely self-aware, with songs including "All of the Men in my Life Keep Getting Killed by Candarian Demons" and "Do the Necronomicon.
BWW Reviews: Say a Happy Hello to BYE BYE BIRDIE in Walnut Creek
Contra Costa Musical Theatre knows how to put on a happy face.
BWW Reviews: Ovation Stage's RED
I was inspired to take a closer look at the artists and books referenced in the play's dialogue.
BWW Reviews: Davis Musical Theatre Company's SHREK THE MUSICAL
Given my initial feelings toward the show, I'm quite surprised to be telling you that Shrek is adorable, and well worth the time to see.
BWW Reviews: B Street Theatre's THE LADIES FOURSOME
Put four witty women on a golf course and watch them go.
BWW Reviews: Runaway Stage Productions' BONNIE & CLYDE
The production is a good effort on Runaway's part, but Bonnie and Clyde's writing is not the best material to work with.
BWW Reviews: FIDDLER ON THE ROOF Brings Tradition to Merced
Great theatre is tradition in Merced, where Playhouse Merced just opened its 2014-2015 season with "Fiddler on the Roof," now in its 50th Anniversary.
