SAN ANTONIO THEATER REVIEWS

If the Majestic Theatre is a-rockin', you better come a-knockin'! MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET just kicked off an 8-performance in San Antonio....

There's a strange thing about roads. They must be carefully paved and must lead somewhere before they're driven upon. Such is the problem with ROADS COURAGEOUS, the highly problematic new musical enjoying its World Premiere at The Playhouse San Antonio....

While it certainly doesn't have the lofty goals of some shows, The Full Monty easily accomplishes its goal to entertain. It's a silly, raunchy, foul-mouthed good time at the theater. High brow it's not, but high entertainment it is, and Woodlawn Theatre's current production of The Full Monty will ...

If you take a road trip through Memphis, Tennessee, a walk down world famous Beale Street is an absolute must. The city and street are synonymous with rhythm 'n blues - if you want music with a soul, you'll find it on Beale Street....

It's remarkable that The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, a stage piece that owes so much to a 90 year old film, feels so fresh and original, but it is without a doubt one of the most memorable and astonishing works of theater I've seen in years. Not many artists have the courage or even the know-how to st...

The Woodlawn Theatre has been a part of San Antonio for many years. It has delivered wonderful shows to its audiences over the years. This year is no different. Recently playing there was THE LITTLE MERMAID, JR. with its aspiring cast and it was a delight to all who attended....

Cathy Rigby has been portraying classic children's character Peter Pan on and off since 1974. The very thought that an actor could hold the same role across decades is astounding.

I am very pleased to say that Texas State University - San Marcos's current production of Into the Woods is easily the best live production of the show that I have yet to see. This winning cast, smart director, and wonderful creative team have created an Into the Woods that is charming, funny, hear...

While the plot line about pardoning turkeys is as pointless, strange, and silly as…well…pardoning turkeys, NOVEMBER is a crowd-pleasing satire that anyone is sure to love. Right now it's unclear who will win the election, but at The Playhouse, NOVEMBER wins hands down....

Fresh from its Broadway run, CATCH ME IF YOU CAN opened in San Antonio at the Majestic Theatre Tuesday night. You may well have seen a movie by the same name (starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks). Indeed, this musical tells the same tale of young Frank Abagnale, Jr.'s counterfeit scams of epi...

When she came onstage, it was like an old friend had come through the door for a visit. Carol's show was different than most shows. T...

The latest Broadway show to hit the stage at the Majestic Theatre in San Antonio Texas is BILLY ELLIOT, which ended its run yesterday, April 1.
