Review: Make Farce Funny Again with POTUS at Theater West End
by Albert Gutierrez - May 3, 2026
There’s a strange dichotomy that exists in live theater. I may not like the material, but will still find reason to love its execution. And at Theater West End, they’ve culled together a company of players who help elevate the material of POTUS into a comedy that now exists thanks to their approach to the characters. They form a symbiotic relationship with the audience throughout the two acts to make us still care for them, for their arcs, and for their resolutions – no matter how far-fetched it may seem. This is where the production of POTUS shines.

Review: THE UNDERSTUDY at Hub Theatre Company of Boston
by R. Scott Reedy - Jul 26, 2025
A Broadway star is not likely to be found running lines with the understudy. Indeed, marquee-name actors seldom even know who’s covering their role. The classic 1950 film melodrama “All About Eve” aside, a real-life Margo Channing probably isn't giving a second thought to any Eve Harringtons lurking backstage.

Review: SAW THE MUSICAL at Hudson Theatres Mainstage
by Melissa Heckscher - May 26, 2025
Ultimately, I liked SAW The Musical for its weirdness. But even as a horror-loving theater nerd, I didn’t quite fall in love. For me, this bloody musical parody didn’t quite slay.
