Latest SAN FRAN / BAY AREA Reviews


Review: NEXT TO NORMAL at Victoria Theatre


by Steve Murray - June 09, 2025

A musically gifted daughter feeling neglected and invisible. A dutiful husband struggling to cope, and the ghost of a dead child waiting for recognition before ascending. These are the emotionally devastated characters orbiting Diana Goodman, wife, and mother coping with mental illness....

Review: A BEAUTIFUL NOISE: THE NEIL DIAMOND MUSICAL at Golden Gate Theatre


by Linda Hodges - June 08, 2025

It’s a good guess that ticket buyers walking into the Golden Gate Theatre will anticipate a rip-roaring concert of Neil Diamond's greatest hits – and the show absolutely delivers on that front. ...

Review: JUSTIN VIVIAN BOND: OH WELL at Feinstein's At The Nikko


by Steve Murray - June 07, 2025

Review: SUDDENLY LAST SUMMER at Altarena Playhouse


by Kelly Rogers Flynt - May 31, 2025

SUDDENLY LAST SUMMER at Altarena Playhouse is a slow burn of a Tennessee Williams’ play that never fully catches fire. It is a challenging play that delves into darker themes while retaining some of the lyricism of William’s style. With a focus on mental illness, manipulation, perversion, pride, and...

Review: PARADE at Orpheum Theatre


by Steve Murray - May 23, 2025

A true story of unspeakable injustice is beautifully realized in Parade, deservedly winner of the 2023 Tony Award for Best Revival of a Musical. Like its dramatic courtroom cousins Inherit then Wind and To Kill a Mockingbird, Parade brings humanity to a tragedy, faces to the pictures projected on a ...

Review: COST OF FREE- A CONVERSATION WITH SAN FRANCISCO MIME TROUPE'S MICHAEL GENE SULLIVAN


by Steve Murray - May 09, 2025

Review: THE AVES at Berkeley Repertory Theatre


by Steve Murray - May 09, 2025

Jiehae Park’s World Premiere of her memory play the aves is gorgeously presented with a remarkable scenic design by visual artist Marsha Ginsberg. That the setting, and some fanciful avian puppetry by Erik Sanko becomes the focal point of the play is problematic. The story, set in a number of vignet...
