BWW Reviews: Intiman's WE WON'T PAY Goes Over the Top and Stays There
I like absurdist farce, raucous hijinks and Italian commedia as much as the next guy and Dario Fo is certainly a master of all three.
BWW Reviews: THE CLOCKWORK PROFESSOR at TOJ Offers Fun Steampunk Melodrama
When melodrama is done right, it can be a ton of fun.
BWW Reviews: Intiman's LYSISTRATA Puts Interesting Twist on Classic Tale of War
This is not your Grandfather's "Lysistrata".
BWW Reviews: Thoughtful Performances from Azeotrope's GRUESOME PLAYGROUND INJURIES
It's a tough thing to follow up such a widely acclaimed show as Azeotrope's offering of "Jesus Hopped the A Train" last season.
BWW Reviews: Deconstructed Feminism in ACT's RAPTURE, BLISTER, BURN
Even from childhood we've always wanted what the other kid has.
BWW Reviews: GAME SHOW at Theater Schmeater Brings Interactive Laughs
You know how you've always said, "I could've gotten that one" when watching those games shows on TV? Well, now's your time to put up or shut up as Theater Schmeater gives you a chance to immerse yourself into the inner workings of a TV quiz show complete with all the drama, backstabbing and, yes, p
BWW Reviews: 5th Ave's PIRATES OF PENZANCE Does Honor to a Classic
I hope you will indulge me, Dear Reader, as I will not be reviewing the current production of "The Pirates of Penzance" at the 5th Avenue Theatre.
BWW Reviews: Intiman's TROUBLE IN MIND Brims With Racial Inequality and Integrity
Art and integrity or money and success? Which do you strive for or can you have both? That's the underlying issue at hand in Intiman's current production of Alice Childress' "Trouble In Mind".
BWW Reviews: Gripping DOUBT from Theatre 9/12
John Patrick Shanley's Tony and Pulitzer Prize winning play "Doubt" is and intense and stunning piece of work to be sure but it's far from bullet proof.
BWW Reviews: ReAct's PICNIC - Too Much Style, Not Enough Passion
It's a very easy trap to fall into when dealing with a small town period piece, taking that wholesome and naive mentality and over infusing it into the show.
BWW Reviews: 5th Avenue's HAIRSPRAY: IN CONCERT Has the Beat but Could Use More Camp
Let me start out, Dear Readers, by saying there is no way for me to not be biased about this show.
BWW Reviews: Clever Confusion in DOGG'S HAMLET AND CAHOOT'S MACBETH from Sound Theatre Company
I've said it before and I'm sure I'll say it again, you practically have to take a masters class in whatever Tom Stoppard is writing about in order to fully get his plays.
BWW Reviews: STAGEright's ALL IN THE TIMING Filled with Quirky Laughs
The great thing about a show with a series of short plays is that if the current short play just isn't working for you, wait ten minutes and you'll be on to the next one.
BWW Reviews: Clever and Funny Dialog in Book-It's FINANCIAL LIVES OF THE POETS
Displaying an all too familiar circumstance Book-It Repertory Theatre is currently presenting their production of Jess Walter's book, 'The Financial Lives of the Poets', in which our hero must survive the pressures of our crumbling economy any way he can.
BWW Reviews: Vicious Beauty in ACT's OTHER DESERT CITIES
It's a fine line between a biting familial dramedy and diving head first into the realm of back biting reality TV.
BWW Reviews: Classic Vegas Thrills at Teatro ZinZanni's LUCKY IN LOVE
From the sumptuous meal to the hilarious antics to the high flying thrills, you always know you're going to have a stellar time at a Teatro ZinZanni show and their current show "Lucky in Love" is no exception.
BWW Reviews: FELA at the Paramount – High Energy Message But Not Enough Story
Musical Theater is a strange animal.
BWW Reviews: SPT's THE LANGUAGE ARCHIVE Explores Love Beyond Words
For a show that is all about words and how to express them correctly, it sometimes feels that Julia Cho's "The Language Archive" could have done a little better expressing them efficiently.
BWW Reviews: Schmeater's TWILIGHT ZONE: LIVE! Offers Up The Creepy Mixed With The Sweet
Theatrically speaking, there are few things in this town that are a sure lock of enjoyment.
BWW Reviews: Arouet's THE TEMPERAMENTALS - Important History Told with Care
In these exciting times where state after state are ratifying same sex marriage laws and teens are taking their same sex boyfriends and girlfriends to school dances, we can sometimes lose sight of the people that fought to break down those barriers to get us where we are today.
BWW Reviews: CHICAGO at Village Has a Cast of Killers!
I've seen it more times than I care to count.
BWW Reviews: TEAM OF HEROES 3 at Annex Suffers Lack of Pace and Plot
The conclusion of the "Team of Heroes" Trilogy, "Team of Heroes: No More Heroes" currently playing at Annex Theatre has swooped in to save us all, but it could use some saving of its own.
BWW Reviews: Seattle Shake's TAMING OF THE SHREW - A Rip Snortin' Good Time
I've always been leery of transplanting locales and time periods of classic plays just because we can.
BWW Reviews: ASSISTED LIVING at ACT Lives Only From Assistance
A few days ago I posted a review for another comedy in town where I commented on the fact that they just don't write farces like they used to.
