The ball is over. BroadwayWorld has just learned that Cats: The Jellicle Ball, the Tony Award-winning musical revival, will end its Broadway run at the Broadhurst Theatre on Saturday evening, August 8.

A queer romance-thriller mash-up sounds an ambitious undertaking, so one must applaud writer Eleanor Tindall and director Emily Aboud for giving it a go. However, this revival at the Bush Theatre in west London doesn't quite come together, despite laudable performances from a young, animated cast.

Contrary to the place critics occupy in the cultural imagination, I dread the prospect of an artist reading a negative review I have written. I stand by my perceptions of the works I review, yet I also hold to Anton Ego's maxim in Pixar's Ratatouille: 'In the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so.'

Production designer, illustrator, and multidisciplinary artist Luna (Sara) Naseh designs for film and theater approaching every project with the same belief: a successful environment should never feel like a backdrop, it should feel like a place that existed before the audience arrived and will continue to exist after they leave.

What’s seven feet tall, green, and a triple threat? You’ll have to come to Broadway at Music Circus to find out and witness the spectacle of the summer. Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein is tapping its way into the hearts of Sacramentans as fast as you can say, “It’s alive!” The film version premiered in 1974 and quickly became a beloved parody of the classic Universal monster movies. It combined Brooks' signature humor and outrageous characters into an enduring classic that was adapted to a Broadway musical in 2007.  This summer, director Glenn Casale’s vision of mad genius turns this Broadway at Music Circus production into a gloriously entertaining monster mash.

Some choreographic works become audience favorites, performed over and over as part of a dance company’s repertory. Others quietly wait in the wings of a company's history for the right moment and the right artists to bring them back to the stage.

“Politics have no place in theatre,” says a person who has no idea that some of the first-ever plays from Ancient Greece were political. From Antigone by Sophocles to Julius Caesar by Shakespeare, there has been no shortage of bold theatre spreading a message.

‘We are the Tigers’ is a pop-rock musical with hints of more mainstream favourites such as ‘Heathers’ and ‘Mean Girls’. The all-female cast (bar one) delivers the witty script with a natural cadence that allows the audience to follow the fast-paced story and multiple comedic lines with ease.
