BWW Review: M.A.D. Theatre's NEXT TO NORMAL at the Shimberg Playhouse
A good production of the great Pulitzer Prize winning musical.
The latest reviews and critic recommendations from Tampa.
A good production of the great Pulitzer Prize winning musical.
Powerhouse acting and Natalie Symons' wonderful script combine to make a memorable evening in Sarasota.
After my breakup with the dreaded ex, I'd completely sworn off dating, but then I met George.
This powerhouse play gets the right treatment with a strong cast and tight direction.
Spread the word because this cannibalistic comedy, a purposely vulgar unauthorized parody of 'The Silence of the Lambs,' is unlike anything our area has ever seen.
This production is a fascinating twist on a classic, always thrilling, but is it necessary?
The new show by a local performer displays a lot of heart and promise.
The brilliance of the lead actress helps overcome the show's pacing issues.
Mary Tilford is insane, Karen Wright and Martha Dobie had me feeling some sort of way, and I could sit though this play a dozen more times.
Jonelle Meyer, Owen Robertson and Jordan Foote save the day with their performances in this trio of one act plays by half of the famed Coen Brothers.
Erica Garraffa is spellbinding as the brilliant and unique singer-songwriter responsible for some the best songs of the Sixties and Seventies.
There is something killer going on in Orlando's theatre scene, and I mean that in the best possible way.
Betty-Jane Parks brilliantly inhabits the role of Flannery O'Connor in a brief, but memorable one-woman show.
Mary Olive Gauthier leads a talented group of actors in this wonderful retelling of the iconic Sondheim musical.
Forty-five young performers, veterans as well as newbies, share the stage in this endearing version of the L.
Down and dirty and poetic at the same time, TMFWTH is funny, edgy and extremely smart.
A marvelous cast and an incredible set can't mask some of the problems with the script.
You will never in your life see a MAME like this one.
If you like your humor like coffee-purists like their java--extremely black--then this show is for you.
A festive, underrated, underperformed gem, SPO's production at the Palladium is first rate with an excellent cast.
Great cast and amazing vocals from the fine folks at Mad Theatre; too bad the script and the score are not worthy of their talent.
Extremely strong production of the Tony Award winning play about Abstract-Expressionist Mark Rothko that will be discussed long after you drive away from your parking space.
Eric Davis delivers a revelatory one man performance in one of the year's most exciting, enthralling theatrical experiences.
EOT has created a true winner here--a gorgeous production of the highest quality with performances that I will not soon forget and technical aspects that elevate it way beyond any community theatre fare.
