BWW Reviews: SPAMALOT at Woodlawn Theatre is Frivolous Fun
by Jeff Davis - August 12, 2013
Early on in Learner and Lowe's Camelot, Guinevere asks, 'Where are the simple joys of maidenhood?' If her question was instead 'Where are the simple joys of musical comedy?' I'd tell her to look no further than the Woodlawn Theatre. Their current production of Spamalot is two hours of pure fun and brilliant comedic performances, simple though the material may be.

BWW Reviews: The Playhouse Presents a Beautiful, Effective, Understated RAGTIME
by Jeff Davis - August 01, 2013
Everyone loves a good "The Show Must Go On" story, and they don't get much better than the story of The Playhouse's current production of Ragtime which plays The Charline McCombs Empire Theatre now through August 18th. Though originally planned for The Playhouse's Russell Hill Rogers Theatre, plans changed after the recent San Antonio flood damaged the historic structure, causing the need for major repairs. While a late change in venue is a major curve ball for any production, any problems that it may have caused are nowhere to be seen. While stripped of the grandiose design which usually accompanies the epic American musical, The Playhouse's version is still quite alluring and emotionally stirring.

by Jeff Davis - June 02, 2013
One of the key characters of In the Heights, now playing at the Woodlawn Theatre, often exclaims "Alabanza!" at moments of extreme joy. Alabanza, we are told, translates to "Praise to this." It's also the most fitting response I can give to this glorious production. There is much to praise in Woodlawn Theatre's remarkable production of this hit, Tony Award winning musical.
