The Catch - 1975 - Off-Broadway Articles Page 1

Dorthy Gale arrives at Stranahan Theater by tornado (and tour bus!) as Broadway in Toledo brings the National Tour of The Wiz to town this week. I had a delightful night easing on down the road with familiar characters reimagined in a creative and moving way.

Richard O’Brien’s The Rocky Horror Show premiered in London in 1973, born from his love of sci‑fi B‑movies and glam rock, and quickly grew into a cult theatrical hit celebrated for its wild, subversive energy.

We had the chance to catch up with a legend of the stage, Robert Westenberg, who plays Neil Diamond (Now), in A BEAUTIFUL NOISE. Having been on the stage since 1975 in various roles, Westenberg has much wisdom to impart. Having played this role in over 570 shows to date in this role, Westenberg is positively gleeful to continue his journey with this show. He is enthusiastic when he speaks to the audience’s reaction and the glory that comes from being in this role!
