The latest reviews and critic recommendations from San Diego.
“Indian Princesses' delves into subjects like identity, communication, and father-daughter relationships, all with humor, heart, and a touch of YMCA-sanctioned cultural appropriation, premiering at La Jolla Playhouse through July 6th.
Director Sean Murray brings a fresh twist to this Rodgers and Hammerstein classic with a spirited, skillful blend of the classic and the contemporary.
“The Book of Mormon” has landed in San Diego again.
“Birthday Candles”, now playing at North Coast Repertory Theatre, is a curious mix because existentialism and birthday cake are not a combo I usually crave.
TuYo Theatre’s “La Llorona on the Blue Line”, written by Mabelle Reynoso and directed by Maria Patrice Amon, is an immersive production that blends myth and memory into a powerful, time-jumping ghost story—where La Llorona doesn’t just wail, she bears witness.
Gloria Calderón Kellett’s “One of the Good Ones,” now onstage at The Old Globe, is like a live taping of your favorite sitcom—complete with fast banter, heartwarming family chaos, and the kind of well-meaning disaster that can only be caused by bringing a piñata to a dinner party.
“The Mountaintop,” now at New Village Arts through June 22, imagines a very human Dr.
Playing at Broadway San Diego through June 1st, this flashy jukebox musical is less biography and more sing-along, and that’s precisely what it wants to be.
If you like your theatre smart, sexy, and a little bit sacrilegious, then “Merry Me” is the genre-bending farce for you! Running at Diversionary Theatre through June 15th.
In “The Counter,” Meghan Kennedy places us in a small-town diner, where coffee is always brewing and regulars never need to look at the menu.
'House of India' is a heartfelt, humorous, and occasionally dramatic look at tradition, legacy, and living a life of your dreams, not someone else's.
By the looks of the audience filling the San Diego Civic Theatre, even ten years later, “Hamilton” still has audiences clamoring to be in the room where it happens.
As spring turns into summer, it means it's the perfect season to sing and dance at “The Prom.
What’s a better way to kick-start the summer theatre seasons than by singing along to “Summer Nights” at the Moonlight Stage Production of “Grease?” This stage version tells the story of Rydell High and its students, and the cute romance of Sandy and Danny is slightly different from the mo
Agatha Christie’s famous Hercule Poirot is back on the North Coast Rep stage, this time in the world premiere “Peril in the Alps”, a sequel to ‘Murder on the Links” from two years ago.
OnStage Playhouse brings the golden age of movies to the stage in this new play Knock Loudly! playing through April 27.
Katori Hall’s 'The Hot Wing King,” now playing at Cygnet Theatre through May 2nd, has plenty of humor, heart, and heat.
“Regency Girls' is The Old Globe's hilariously clever and entertaining new musical, which is playing through May 11.
What did our critic think of SAN DIEGO OPERA PRESENTS STRAUSS'S SALOME at San Diego Civic Theater? Richard Strauss’s eerie and perverse Salome is based on Oscar Wilde’s play of the same name, as adapted by librettist Hedwig Lachmann.
“3 Summers of Lincoln” at the La Jolla Playhouse brings you a vibrant musical about a friendship between President Lincoln and Frederick Douglass that changed the course of American history.
When was the last time you thought about the Constitution? I mean really thought about it and how it impacts your life? Probably not that often, but that will change after seeing North Coast Rep’s stellar production of ‘What The Constitution Means To Me,” which is playing through March 30t
The world premiere of “The Dark Heart of Dooley Stevens,” written by Backyard Renaissance Artistic Director Francis Gercke, will play through March 15th.
“We Are Continuous” is an intimate play with an unusual recurring monologue and some in-scene format.
