Perfection, thy name is Joseph. And Narrator. And Pharoah. And Jacob. And Potiphar.

This musical marvel is an early collaboration of super-duo Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber, who would go on to create such hits as Jesus Christ Superstar and Evita. The original Broadway show opened in 1982 and was nominated for seven Tony Awards, including Best Original Score. It was last seen at Broadway at Music Circus in 2010, so Sacramento is more than ready for this spectacular sung-through musical once again.

by Courtney Symes - April 11, 2025

In FreeFall Stage’s staging of Amelia Earhart, written by Kathryn Schultz Miller, we see Earhart as more than just a public figure – we see her as a human.

Review: Let's Hear it for FOOTLOOSE at Broadway At Music Circus
by Courtney Symes - March 23, 2025
Kick off your Sunday shoes and don’t miss the upbeat, energetic, 80s pop phenomenon that is Footloose at Broadway at Music Circus. The musical is based on the 1984 movie of the same name that got a generation of teens on their feet and dancing. After some changes were made to make it more suitable for the stage, it opened on Broadway in 1998 and garnered four Tony Award nominations, including Best Original Score and Best Choreography. This is the first show in the 2025 Music Circus season, marking a huge change as it goes from its traditional summer run to year-round offerings.
Review: TITUS ANDRONICUS at Big Idea Theatre
by Courtney Symes - March 21, 2025
Titus Andronicus, which is believed to be Shakespeare’s first tragedy, is arguably his most disturbing. It’s a laundry list of trigger warnings: rape, murder, dismemberment, hostage negotiations, and cannibalism, to name a few. It’s also deliciously deranged and a horror fan’s delight in Big Idea Theatre’s newest production.
