Review: RENT Stays Relevant at BDE Productions
by Greg Kerestan - Oct 2, 2026
It's almost a rite of passage that every theatre kid goes through a loving RENT phase and a hating RENT phase. The memes of 'Benny is a hero, the Bohemians are trash' have circulated for years, and I won't deny there are little grains of truth in there; this IS after all a show where killing rich people's pets is treated as effective praxis and a good prank.

Review: A CHORUS LINE at The 5th Avenue Theatre
by Jay Irwin - Sep 19, 2026
Dear Readers, I don’t mean to make anyone feel ancient but “A Chorus Line” is 51 years old! And the 5th Avenue Theatre dusting off the old girl for their current remount may feel like a bit of nostalgia. But if their spectacular production proves anything, it’s that “A Chorus Line” is still the masterpiece it always was.

Review: BYE BYE BIRDIE at The 5th Avenue Theatre
by Jay Irwin - Jun 14, 2025
Dear Readers, there are some shows that just hold a special place in your heart, even if they may not age as well as you hoped. Charles Strouse and Lee Adams’ classic “Bye Bye Birdie”, currently playing at the 5th Avenue Theatre, is one of those shows for me. I loved both movie versions, saw what I consider to be the quintessential production back in 1990 starring Tommy Tune and Ann Reinking. Hell, I’ve even done the show several years ago. So, I’m a little picky about it when I see it again, and while this current production doesn’t surpass my previous experiences (I doubt anything could), it was certainly a solid production with a lot of fun moments going for it.
