Review: COME FROM AWAY at Moonlight Stage

Review: COME FROM AWAY at Moonlight Stage

by ErinMarie Reiter · September 18, 2026

 Come From Away is a show about the ripple effect of kindness. You do not have to save the world to make a difference. Fred Rogers famously told us to “look for the helpers.”  Perhaps that is why this particular musical continues to feel so welcome: In a world that can sometimes feel determin…

Review: ROCK OF AGES at San Diego Musical Theatre

Review: ROCK OF AGES at San Diego Musical Theatre

by ErinMarie Reiter · August 23, 2026

San Diego Musical Theatre’s 'Rock of Ages' is a delightfully ridiculous blast of ’80s hair-band camp filled with talented performers, big vocals, energetic choreography, a live band, and enough rock ’n’ roll to make the audience feel like they have accidentally wandered onto the Sunset Strip…
