Review: HAMILTON Still Blows Us All Away at the Straz Center
I enjoyed Hamilton every bit as much as I did in 2019. What struck me most this time was the sheer skill and stamina required of the cast. I still can't imagine performing this fast-paced, rap lyric-heavy musical night after night. Though it's one of the longest musicals I've attended, it moves at s…

Review: BAT BOY THE MUSICAL at Carrollwood Cultural Center

Review: A BOLD, WORLD PREMIERE WITH AVA RICE AND THE EIGHTH SIN at Breakroom Entertainment
Ava Rice and the Eighth Sin, a new musical presented by Breakroom Entertainment, features a book and lyrics by Pedro Amaral. The company that is known for reworking music, such as Disney Parodies... takes a stab at an unknown title, that still feels close to home. We all know about the seven deadly …
Review: KEN LUDWIG’S DEAR JACK, DEAR LOUISE at TampaRep
When the idea of seeing this Ken Ludwig play came to fruition, I was immediately enamored with the idea that it is based on a true story. Chronologically retelling the story of his parents courtship amidst the backdrop of war, specifically World War II, created a strong presence, I knew would resona…
