The Good 1938

Johnna Wright and Patty Jamieson’s slow-moving script is reminiscent of many works of British literature that have been adapted for stage and screen. The story, albeit somewhat predictable, is entertaining in the nuanced hands of the affecting Christina Yancy and imposing Aaron Orion Baker.

Lazy Susan Theatre Co. is about to embark on their 4th annual theatre season which will explore identity, community, power and survival through bold intimate storytelling.

Boston Modern Orchestra Project will present its season-opening concert featuring soprano Julia Bullock performing works by Samuel Barber and Matthew Aucoin, along with a world premiere by Anthony De Ritis.

Halloween season in Williamson County has found its crown jewel. Studio Tenn has officially launched its 17th theatrical season at the Turner Theater with a deliciously macabre production of The Addams Family running through October 25. Directed with razor-sharp comedic timing and vibrant visual flair, this production proves that Broadway’s favorite ghoulishly eccentric clan translates brilliantly to the local stage.

CTRep (Wichita Repertory Theater) continues its 2026-27 season with the taut psychological thriller GASLIGHT by Steven Dietz, based on the 1938 play by Patrick Hamilton. The play opens on Friday, October 2 at The Oliver Place, 2512 North Oliver in Wichita.

The musical was on Broadway before it was a movie, and they highlight all the great songs from the movie, all the stuff with the kids, all the beautiful things with the nuns, and the captain and Maria. But there's also some really great stuff that they just didn't have time to put into the movie.

Gil Rose's Grammy-winning ensemble will present world premieres, two semi-staged operas, and over 10 new album releases celebrating American contemporary music.

You may ask yourself—is seeing a touring stage production of the globally and generationally ubiquitous 1959 musical THE SOUND OF MUSIC still worth experiencing live on stage in 2026? While the stage musical in its current touring form certainly doesn't offer anything revolutionary or new to the show's now timeless canon, this latest iteration is, overall, a genuinely enjoyable, unabashedly earnest, and pleasantly nostalgic revival of a classic, featuring everything that made the show so gosh darn lovable to our parents and their parents before them. Sticking to the familiar, the show remains a comfortably cozy revival that will satisfy those expecting more of the same. The tour continues at Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Costa Mesa through June 14, 2026.

There is plenty of fun to be had in this light-hearted musical.

What is a pro-shot and how is it different than an adapted film? Pro-shot is an abbreviation for professionally shot, denoting a stage play that was captured in its native habitat: a theatre. In general, a pro-shot seeks to film the exact experience that audience members would have at a live performance of the show, in contrast with a feature film which actually adapts the piece into a new form, including different locations, the removal of theatrical aesthetic, and changes to make the script work as a film as opposed to as a live theatrical show.

Olney Theatre Center has revealed its 2026-27 season featuring a production of La Cage aux Folles directed by Artistic Director Jason Loewith, Les Misérables, directed by Stephen Brackett and more.

For me, the message of this play is that family is the most important thing. Having, keeping, and surviving those family ties and those memories.

Rise and shine, BroadwayWorld! It is March 6, 2026 and it's time to catch up on all of the theatrical happenings you may have missed in the last 24 hours.

What did our critic think of THE SOUND OF MUSIC at Citizens Opera House?

Perfect medicine for the winter blues

What did our critic think of THE ADDAMS FAMILY at Rancho Mirage Amphitheater?

The Addams Family musical isn’t as campy and charming as the movies, nor does it have the eccentric vibes of Tim Burton’s Wednesday. The musical makes you cringe (and not in the way a member of the Addams family would want you to). 

Multiple lost Broadway theaters intersect with the Hammerstein family. This follows since Oscar Hammerstein I was a theater owner and builder. In addition to Hammerstein’s which was named after him and is now the Ed Sullivan, and the New Victory which he originally built, there is also the Hammerstein Ballroom. Read more here!

It’s an odd thing to consider, especially in a week that began with Labor Day. But that’s an early surprise turn in Mary Glen Fredrick’s fiercely strange play “Fire Work” that is having part of its “rolling world premiere” at Theater Alliance.
