In a world built to do our thinking for us, how do we still know what’s real? If we lose the ability to think critically, how can we tell fact from fiction? For 2027, we wanted to showcase work that explores exactly this — truth, reality, fact or fiction, and what it is that...
Dear Readers, shows about overcoming adversity are not a new thing. It’s pretty much a staple of many storylines. But what has been coming up more and more are the shows about overcoming a physical adversity. Of course there’s one of my favorites, “Hairspray” dealing with racism and body …
Alicia Keys can write the hell out of a song. Her catalog has been the soundtrack to heartbreaks and first loves for more than two decades. Hell's Kitchen, the Grammy winner's semi-autobiographical musical now at the Paramount Theatre, is a welcome reminder of just how singular her music really is. …
William Shakespeare’s work, undoubtedly, is an acquired taste. Shakespeare’s poetry of language can turn people off (the Elizabethan language can be hard to follow). Would you believe me if I told you that one way to make his work more approachable is by folding in layers of randomness and cha…

Dear Readers, the bio-musical is a tricky thing. Some love them, some hate them. For me, it all depends on if you have an affinity for the music of the subjects, plus it needs a strong book. And then there’s the current show from Village Theatre, “We Ain’t Ever Gonna Break Up: The Hymon and Pa…
It’s almost unbelievable for me to admit that this was my first time seeing The Phantom of the Opera. Of course, I knew the iconic songs and had seen countless clips over the years, but experiencing the production live on stage for the first time was entirely different, haunting, and spine-chillin…
The production, with its flamboyantly portrayed characters and colorful background, fulfilled the most crowd-pleasing elements of the work…
