The final show of the 2025/26 Broadway season is now open! The world premiere of THE LOST BOYS opened tonight, Sunday, April 26, 2026, at Broadway’s Palace Theatre. Directed by two-time Tony Award winner Michael Arden, the new musical features a book by  David Hornsby & Chris Hoch, music & lyrics by The  Rescues. Let's see what the critics are saying about the new musical...

Creating original theater is scary. It’s a lot of time and effort and money, and failure is more common than success, especially in this field. But it’s worth it.

There’s something special about being on stage and getting laughs and applause from a live audience. Don’t get me wrong – film is also amazing, and can make someone very rich if they make it big. But, I was just recently reminded of why I love acting, and how much I missed it.

First developed and workshopped at South Coast Repertory’s annual Pacific Playwrights Festival in 2025, celebrated new “it” playwright Talene Monahon’s freshly birthed play EAT ME is currently being presented at OC’s Tony Award-winning regional theater as a fully-formed World Premiere production directed by Caitlin Sullivan. The new work continues performances at its Costa Mesa home through May 3. Equally intriguing and confounding, the brand new play, honestly, comes off for me as one of those creatively-ambitious but somewhat incomplete stage experiments that left me with more questions than answers.

This production of Fiddler on the Roof is a triumph! It is fresh, exciting, engaging, entertaining, and unlike any other seen. Caleb Long and Colin Healy have created a transformative piece of theater. It has a slight contemporary sound while staying true to the source material. Long inspires affecting performances from his actors and musicians.

Playwright Kirsten Greenidge is used to telling stories through her dramas like her Obie Award-winning “Milk Like Sugar,” and “Our Daughters, Like Pillars,” and “The Luck of the Irish.” All three –produced locally by The Huntington –have elements of humor but are not straight-out comedies.

There was a time early in this century when conductor Lorin Maazel led Massenet’s opera THAIS, surprising audiences by picking up a violin during Act II to play the work’s famous “Meditation” himself—usually the realm of the concertmaster.
