SAN ANTONIO THEATER REVIEWS

There are some shows that are ageless. Kiss Me Kate is one of them. The Cole Porter musical, while 67 years young, still entertains with ease, and Texas State University's current production of it showcases all that makes the show great....

ANNIE plays at the historic Majestic Theatre in San Antonio and is sure to please audiences....

Ask any musical theater junkie what's the best musical of all time, and any worth their spit will answer with one word: Gypsy. The iconic show is highly regarded to this day with good reason. The score's infectious, the sets and costumes eye-catching, and the characters, particularly that of Mama ...

ONCE doesn't start quietly, In fact as you enter the Majestic Theatre where ONCE opened Tuesday night, you'll notice that the show has already started as members of the cast are on stage playing music and singing classic songs of Ireland....

Everyone knows the story of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson. Good versus evil. Right and wrong. It's an inner struggle in many people but Frank Wildhorn and Leslie Bricusse's musical adaptation really brings the story to a different level. Such is the touring pr...

As the world remembers the 56th anniversary of the plane crash that killed Buddy Holly, the Big Bopper and Richie Valens, The Tobin Center shared the life and death of Buddy Holly in a very special February 3rd commemoration....

Andrew Llloyd Webber, Stephen Swartz, and everyone at Disney Theatrical, I hope you're taking notes. A musical doesn't need falling chandeliers, flying green girls, a budget larger than the GDP of most nations, or even show-stopping numbers to be successful. All a show really needs to resonate wit...

We all know the story of THE LION KING and how audiences all over the world have been intrigued by this impressive onstage production. There is so much to take in and so much to see, you can scarcely catch your breath before another amazing scene unfolds in front of you. The current tour of THE LION...

Anyone who says that perfection can't be improved upon is a liar. Perfection can be improved, as evident in Woodlawn Theatre's current production of The Rocky Horror Show. Woodlawn's 3rd annual production of Rocky Horror manages to surpass the success of last year's production with its use of an i...

CARRIE- Misunderstood Musical Finds Life at The Woodlawn...

End of the Rainbow- The Rainbow shines bright over The Playhouse...

As The Tobin Center for the Performing Arts opened its doors in September, it was clear they had a lot to offer the locals of San Antonio with their variety of shows including the touring company of NICE WORK IF YOU CAN GET IT....

Unbroken Circle a Family Drama and Instant Classic that is not to be missed...

Playing Now at Woodlawn! SMOKEY JOE'S CAFE is a night out not to be missed!...

Excuse me if I'm suffering from a case of deja vu. Last year, theatergoers in Central Texas got to see Austin's Zach Theatre and San Antonio's Playhouse duke it out with competing productions of Les Miserables. I was fortunate enough to see both productions, and in the battle of the barricades, I ...

A decade or so from now, if you were to google 'Broadway shows that had a mediocre Broadway run but are regional theater crowdpleasers,' I'd be willing to bet that Catch Me if You Can would top the list. The musical, written by Hairspray's Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman with a book by Terrence McNal...

The musical, which originally opened on Broadway in 1979 and has been revived several times - including an amazing (in my opinion) film adaptation starring Madonna - is currently touring the US and has made a stop in San Antonio....

Early on in the first act of Company, the classic Stephen Sondheim musical now playing at The Playhouse, single guy Robert asks his married pal Harry a loaded question: "Are you ever sorry you got married?" Harry smiles and responds with, "You're always sorry. You're always grateful," and continue...

Before I share my thoughts on Classic Theatre's outstanding production of Death of a Salesman, I must start with my thoughts on the play itself. Lots of people consider Death of a Salesman to be the greatest American play every written. I'm not sold, though. I don't identify with Willy Loman, a man ...

Sometimes a new, much talked about Broadway play is well deserving of the hype. Case in point: Venus in Fur. The play, by the brilliant David Ives, was the talk of New York back in 2011, largely in part to the Tony Award winning performance from Nina Arianda. Since becoming available to regional ...
