You will never see a production of “Legally Blond, the musical” better performed or sung or danced than what you can see currently running at New Theatre Restaurant in Overland Park.  This is pure, show-biz entertainment as rendered by this cast and Director/ Choreographer Jerry Jay Cranford and his team.     Based on the popular 2001 film, the musical follows Elle Woods, a fashion-obsessed UCLA sorority president. Elle enrolls at Harvard Law School to win back her boyfriend. This begins as a two-hour sugar rush of bubblegum pop, cheerleader enthusiasm, and enough pink to repaint Barbie's Dream House.

To “IL” or not to “IL”—that is the question. According to the program at the other night’s performance by Will Crutchfield’s Teatro Nuovo (TN) of Mozart’s great opera about Don Juan, it’s IL DON GIOVANNI, rather than simply the familiar DON GIOVANNI. That’s as it was called by its librettist (the composer’s great collaborator, Lorenzo da Ponte) and the portrayer of the eponymous anti-hero (baritone Manuel Garcia Sr.) on its first visit to New York 200 years ago, when Italian opera arrived here in New York for the first time.

The concert offered an intimate tribute to Joni Mitchell's unique genius, offering a revelatory look at the cultural milieu and musical streams that fed into her art, and then poured out of her Laurel Canyon home and into her unique ways of mixing other genres and artists into her music – or inspired them to create their own.

The selection of Frozen as the summer musical served multiple masters. Thematically, it fit within Encore’s 2025-2026 season’s theme of “Finding Yourself,” as the story of Queen Elsa discovering how to better control her powers also serves as a metaphor for self-love, self-acceptance, and self-esteem. Frozen also, let’s be honest, has always been a crowd-pleaser. It has a near universal appeal for various attendees who’d be interested in seeing a production at Dr. Phillips Center. Musical Theatre Acolytes. Disney Adults. Families looking for kid-friendly entertainment.

What did our critic think of B*TCH EAT DOG at District Fringe?

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.

SARAH URIARTE BERRY sparkles. You can't take your eyes off her.
