Review: DEAR EVAN HANSEN at Cygnet Theatre

Review: DEAR EVAN HANSEN at Cygnet Theatre

by ErinMarie Reiter · September 13, 2026

Cygnet Theatre’s 'Dear Evan Hansen' cast is terrific; the technical elements are beautifully integrated, and the emotions land exactly where they are meant to.

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…
