What did our critic think of SOME LIKE IT HOT at Walton Arts Center?

We forgive any flaws in the production because, with Patty Smithey as Jesus and Evan Lomba as Judas, it's triumphant.

There’s one thing that the Seacoast Repertory Theatre knows how to do very well. It’s transforming their intimate, brick-walled space in Portsmouth into a world that feels ten times its actual size. Their current production of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels—the 2005 musical based on the Steve Martin/Michael Caine film—is a fun, high-energy farce, delivering a cocktail of sophisticated wit and unapologetically lowbrow humor that pleases like a French martini.

Nearly 161 years ago, President Abraham Lincoln was shot by actor John Wilkes Booth at Ford’s Theatre as he watched a production of OUR AMERICA COUSIN.

Live performances have been trending upwards in public spaces such as Los Angeles Farmers Markets, Chicago community bandstands, NY parks & recreation and even Dallas airport concourses are discovering authentic music crowds. The Noah Todd Band is an excellent example of high quality performers who just want to make more music but be heard by the masses. 

Some pieces of music are simply larger than life, and Carmina Burana is definitely one of them. With its thunderous choruses and dramatic storytelling, it’s the kind of work that sends chills through your entire body when performed well.
