The latest reviews and critic recommendations from Tampa.
A Blank stage is set to adorn a combination of a house on one side and what will soon become the work stations of the women in this production.
If you are a teacher or a parent, it will leave you battered, shattered, withered, at times elated and almost always looking at things in a new way.
Norm Lewish, Jessie Muehller, and Rosie O'Connell star in a semi-staged production.
Set to a backdrop of great men and women throughout history, the audience is immersed in a brief moment of history while seated looking at a grand staircase as the focal point for the room.
A BRONX TALE is a musical adapted from a film that was once a one man show written by Chazz Palminteri.
It's tons of fun and enchanting, despite some weaknesses with the show's new book.
On Tuesday night, despite a thirty-minute delay due to technical difficulties beyond the group's control, the enthusiasm of both audience and band members did not dampen.
LES MISERABLES is a worldwide phenomenon, the timeless musical that tells the triumphant tale of redemption of Jean Valjean, sentenced to 19 years of hard labor for stealing a loaf of bread to save a starving child.
It's one theatrical ride that you need to experience!

Despite its flaws, it will immediately put you in the Christmas spirit!
Whether you find Betty Taylor socially irresponsible or admirable for wanting to share her love with a family of 12, "Raising Twelve on a Nickel and a Prayer" is a special holiday treat.
Playing through December 25 at Show Palace Dinner Theatre, in Holiday Incorporated, it doesn't matter what you celebrate, multitalented actor, director and playwright Jonathan Van Dyke has you covered in a musical tale about an elf named Ivy who's lost her love for the holidays and the five magical
To say something magical happened last night in Ferguson Hall at the Straz Center would be like describing The Texas Tenors as just three gorgeous singers from Texas.
With tongue firmly planted in cheek, from the imagination of local playwright Joe Pauly comes the outrageous tale of Ebenezer Scungili, the heat-toting Italian olive oil import company proprietor (wink-wink-nudge-nudge) and his miserly, Christmas-hating ways.
The show offers lots of nice voices and some incredible moments, but it's overall very inconsistent.
Should you ever need to be a lodger in the warm and inviting Brooklyn home of sisters, Abby and Martha Brewster, and you are a male of any age, never admit to being someone without family ties or friends and even more importantly, no matter how delicious the wine is claimed to be, be a teetotaler.
