Review: OH, MARY! at San Diego Civic Theatre

Review: OH, MARY! at San Diego Civic 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.
