by Sherry Shameer Cohen - Oct 13, 2025
What did our critic think of REQUIEM FOR A HEAVYWEIGHT at Crystal Theatre? Rod Serling’s classic play, Requiem for A Heavyweight, well, packs a punch in Crystal Theatre’s production, now running through October 19. Yes, the pun was intended, but the play is perhaps even more powerful now than it was when Serling wrote it as a teleplay nearly 70 years ago

BWW Review: HAIRSPRAY SINGS AT BROADWAY SAN JOSE at Broadway San Jose
by Linda Hodges - Nov 26, 2021
It’s 1962 and perky, pretty and plump teen Tracy Turnblad has dance moves that will never be seen unless she can find a way to get on the local teen dance show, “The Corny Collins Show.” Niki Metcalf shines as the effervescent, strong and kind Tracy Turnblad who dares to cross boundaries (she’s often in detention for her big hair-don’t) to stay true to herself. Playing now thru November 28th at Broadway San Jose, there’s still time to get your tickets and be carried away on dance wave of laughter and music from a phenomenal show with a stellar cast.
