Review: HAMILTON Still Blows Us All Away at the Straz Center

Review: HAMILTON Still Blows Us All Away at the Straz Center

by Deborah Bostock-Kelley · October 23, 2026

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: BAT BOY THE MUSICAL at Carrollwood Cultural Center

by Deborah Bostock-Kelley · October 17, 2026

Bat Boy isn’t my usual cup of tea. It’s loud, strange, and unapologetically over the top, and for the first few scenes I wasn’t sure what to make of it. I went in skeptical and came out cheering. Bat Boy is bizarre, brash, and nothing like what I normally see, and it completely won me over. Ju…

Review: COME FROM AWAY at Eight O'Clock Theatre

Review: COME FROM AWAY at Eight O'Clock Theatre

by Deborah Bostock-Kelley · September 8, 2026

When 38 planes were grounded in Gander after 9/11, the small town didn't ask where the 7,000 strangers on those planes came from, what they believed, or who they voted for - they just opened their homes. Eight O'Clock Theatre's production doesn't sentimentalize that choice; it makes you feel how sim…

Review: BANKSY EXHIBITION at Straz Center

by Deborah Bostock-Kelley · August 6, 2026

Walking the timeline of Banksy’s work at the Straz was extraordinary, with over 160 pieces revealing his evolution. The stories behind the photos and the accompanying video added a deeper layer to the experience.…

Review: KEN LUDWIG’S DEAR JACK, DEAR LOUISE at TampaRep

Review: KEN LUDWIG’S DEAR JACK, DEAR LOUISE at TampaRep

by Drew Eberhard · July 27, 2026

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…

Review: SCHOOLHOUSE ROCK LIVE! at Carrollwood Cultural Center

Review: SCHOOLHOUSE ROCK LIVE! at Carrollwood Cultural Center

by Deborah Bostock-Kelley · July 21, 2026

Schoolhouse Rock Live! delivered a cheerful rush of childhood memories with standout acting, singing and lively choreography. The cast’s energy made every familiar song feel fresh again. It was pure nostalgia wrapped in a bright, polished summer production.…
