Review: THE CHERRY ORCHARD at Marin Theatre


by Steve Murray - February 04, 2026

Change is hard, we all know that. We get stuck in patterns and the comfortable, even if that inertia is destructive. Watching Chekhov’s Cherry Orchard, brilliantly directed by American Conservatory Theatre Artistic Director emerita Carey Perloff and starring an all-star cast of local legends, will m...

Review: WHAT THE CONSTITUTION MEANS TO ME at Hillbarn Theatre


by Steve Murray - February 02, 2026

Heidi Schreck’s award-winning 2019 homage to the US Constitution couldn’t be timelier than at this moment of political crisis in America. Written as a remembrance of her 15-year-old self as a debater in love with the constitution, the present-day Heidi narrates the play which links her family’s back...

THE WIZ LIGHTS UP BROADWAY SAN JOSE


by Linda Hodges - January 28, 2026

Opening Night of The Wiz at Broadway San Jose was dazzling, the kind of evening that reminds you why musical theater, at its best, feels communal, electric, and alive. From the moment the curtain rose, the production burst onto the stage with color, rhythm, and unmistakable joy, offering a vibrant a...

Review: EUGENE ONEGIN at San Francisco Ballet


by Jim Munson - January 26, 2026

San Francisco Ballet is kicking off its 2026 repertory season with the massively ambitious world premiere of Yuri Possokhov’s Eugene Onegin. It’s a tall order to create a full-length contemporary classical ballet to compete with the warhorses we’ve seen a zillion times, but SFB has given it their co...

Review: THE BOOK OF MORMON at Orpheum Theatre


by Steve Murray - January 16, 2026

Trey Parker and Matt Stone are on a high recently, with their long- running animated series South Park skewering the present administration in their inimitable profane and darkly surreal style. 2011’s The Book of Mormon brought their irreverent humor to Broadway in what at the time seemed shocking, ...

Review: DOG MAN: THE MUSICAL at The Henry J. Kaiser Center For The Arts

Review: MOULIN ROUGE! THE MUSICAL at Orpheum Theatre


by Steve Murray - December 19, 2025

What did our critic think of MOULIN ROUGE! THE MUSICAL at Orpheum Theatre? The appeal, based on the audience, is the acknowledgment of the song snippets – an “I know that song” reward. But the conceit grows thin and becomes one big cheat....

Review: RUTHLESS! at New Conservatory Theatre Center


by Steve Murray - December 15, 2025

Mix one part All About Eve, one part Gypsy, and a healthy shot of The Bad Seed in a blender and you’ve got the recipe for Ruthless!, a delightfully dark comedy alternative to the typical holiday fare. A reboot from their 2023 production, Ruthless! is a delight for theatre and old movie references an...
