Latest SAN FRAN / BAY AREA Reviews
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: 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...
