The Spoiled Child -0001

In Seattle, a Salome of Biblical Proportions

Now running at Broadway's Hudson Theatre is Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Ed Harris, Allison Janney, Joe Keery, and Lily Rabe in the first Broadway revival of Jon Robin Baitz’s Tony Award-winning play Other Desert Cities, directed by Tony Award winner John Benjamin Hickey. Let's see what the critics are saying about the star-studded revival...

To celebrate the musical's 40th anniversary, South Coast Reportory recreates INTO THE WOODS with a decisively different approach, one that both entices and, at times, triggers an uneasy vibe (at first) that seems to have permeated out from the show's darker second half. Admittedly, something felt off while watching the show unfold in its new staging—which, in the end, proved to be the desired jolt it wanted from us all along. Selected as its first show for its new 2026-2027 season, this aesthetically-reinvisioned production continues extended performances through October 18, 2026.

Musical Theatre West's brand new presentation of JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT marks the fifth time the 74-season-old institution is revisiting this ubiquitous musical, this time starring hunky Broadway alum and America's Got Talent standout Brian Justin Crum. For all intents and purposes, their result is certainly a genuinely entertaining one, propelled mostly by its musically-gifted lead performers, but also its entire ensemble, all of whom act, sing, and move as if they're all having a sassy, gay ol' time. But their smile-inducing antics do require some leeway.

Tom Wentworth and Stephanie Kempson’s new reimagining of the beloved novel The Secret Garden has inclusivity and accessibility fused into its core from the ground up, and the result is an adaptation that boasts charm by the bucketload.

The musical Charlie and the Chocolate Factory that has just landed at the Sands Theatre leans into celebrating a world of vivid invention. It keeps the heart of the beloved material and commits even further into its absurdity. It guarantees a night at the theatre that will leave you going “what…was…that.' A night you won't soon forget. 

Central Arkansas is blessed with so many talented people (musicians, actors, directors, educators, etc.), and I am thrilled to be able to call them my friends. There are so many great shows in the spring, and unfortunately I can't go see them all, even when I squeeze in dress rehearsals.

For BroadwayWorld's Debut of the Month, we are featuring Esteban Andres Cruz, who is currently making their Broadway debut in Dog Day Afternoon, opposite Jon Berthal. Read the full interview with Esteban here!

The Last Five Years meets Gravity to introduce their unfortunate lovechild. Daniel steals a spacecraft and leaves Earth; his ex-girlfriend, Emily, is left behind. A trio of scientists breaks down their complicated relationship while Daniel records his days orbiting the planet. On paper, Theo Jamieson’s new musical is a thrilling original concept. The core idea and its philosophical foundations are utterly compelling, so it’s a real shame that they bear very little weight against a shallow plot and uninteresting characters. Adam Lenson (credited as co-creator too) directs with profound empathy for the human race, trying hard to bring to life our harrowing need to feel connected. The material fails him.
