BWW Reviews: Dazzling and Poignant EVITA at the Fox Theatre
by Chris Gibson - October 11, 2013
I have to confess that other than the misguided movie that was made out of EVITA, the only other presentation I'd seen was New Line Theatre's wonderfully intimate version a couple of years ago. So, I was curious as to how this show would play on a bigger venue's stage. I wasn't disappointed and you won't be either. The current production playing the Fox Theatre is a dazzling mixture of song (score by Andrew Lloyd Webber, lyrics and book by Tim Rice) and dance that's both engaging and thoroughly entertaining.

BWW Reviews: Upstream Theater's Brilliant DIARY OF A MADMAN
by Chris Gibson - October 09, 2013
When you're a critic and you witness a magical evening of theatre it's hard not to be overly enthused and gush about it, but Upstream Theater's current production of Nikolai Gogol's (adaptation by David Holman) DIARY OF A MADMAN is simply brilliant and truly deserving of such praise. Upstream consistently brings quality presentation of plays both old and new, and oft times they're adaptations of classic literature. A pair of splendid performers are guided by an expert hand to create a night of must-see entertainment, as engaging and thought-provoking as any show you've ever seen.

BWW Reviews: New Jewish Theatre's Amusing Production of THE GOOD DOCTOR
by Chris Gibson - October 09, 2013
THE GOOD DOCTOR, Neil Simon's take on the short stories of Anton Chekhov, is a decidedly mixed bag. At the time he was writing this work he was dealing with his first wife's illness and busying himself with changes to the screenplay of The Prisoner of Second Avenue. Although it has become a much performed play now, it wasn't a huge success when it was first staged, however several members of the cast were nominated for awards. The New Jewish Theatre's current staging contains some fine performances and sharp direction, but it remains a hit and miss production that's only fitfully funny.

Photo Flash: Promo Shots for Stray Dog Theatre's EVIL DEAD: THE MUSICAL
by BWW News Desk - October 09, 2013
It's back! Based on the 80s cult classic EVIL DEAD films, this show is hilariously campy and bursting with more farce than a Monty Python skit. Five college kids take a trip to a remote cabin in the woods and encounter everything from ancient evil spirits to revenge-seeking Candarian Demons. It's all ridiculous and wild, while the term 'Fresh Blood!' takes on new meaning! Check out promo shots for the production below!

BWW Reviews: West End Players Guild's Cynical and Disturbing LONESOME HOLLOW
by Chris Gibson - October 03, 2013
Playwright Lee Blessing's LONESOME HOLLOW paints a cynical and slightly contrived portrait of our country's future. Blessing's dystopian look at America imagines a place where sex offenders are housed by a corporation in small towns that have been taken over and converted for this very purpose. There are some interesting and haunting ideas at work here, and the West End Players Guild has fashioned a nicely mounted production of the play that features a strong cast.

This current production is distinguished by a pair of exceptional performances which really make it worthy of your time and attention.
