Review: JO - THE LITTLE WOMEN MUSICAL IN CONCERT, Theatre Royal Drury Lane
by Cindy Marcolina - Jan 26, 2026
Is there a story more universally connected to the experience of girlhood than Little Women? Louisa May Alcott’s 1868 coming-of-age novel is a beloved read across the world, with its descriptions of sisterly devotion, struggle, love, and loss. The March sisters - Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy - have woven themselves into the lives of women and girls since their publication. The March sisters are also no strangers to the theatre, and this is not the first time that someone tries to adapt it for the stage, and we’ve had quite a few less-than-deserving examples that shall go unmentioned.

Review: BLUE MAN GROUP at Straz Center
by Deborah Bostock-Kelley - Jan 18, 2026
This was a technicolor circus‑concert fever dream. If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if a circus, a rock concert, and a neon‑soaked art installation had a baby, the answer is simple: Blue Man Group. And let me tell you — it was amazing, bright, colorful, and unapologetically LOUD in the best possible way.

by Timoth David Copney - Dec 22, 2025
For the last couple of years or so, theatre nerds everywhere have been besotted with the film version of the hit musical Wicked. After the debut of the first installment, anticipation only grew for Part Two, which dropped this past November.

Review: NOBODY'S PERFECT at New Theatre & Restaurant
by Alan Portner - Dec 1, 2025
Overland Park, KS — The New Theatre & Restaurant has built its reputation on polished, crowd-pleasing comedies, and its latest production of Nobody’s Perfect keeps that tradition humming along with bright energy and old-fashioned farce. This show is a four-hander with a super cast starring Jim O’Heir (familiar to audiences from TV’s Parks and Recreation) as Leonard Loftus. Backing up O’Heir are New Theatre veterans Kelly Felthous, Victor Raider-Wexler and rookie KyLee Hennes.

Feature: REFLECTIONS ON RUSSIA: GMU CAST MEMBERS ON AN EPIC COLLEGE THEATRICAL EXPERIENCE
by Elliot Lanes - Nov 26, 2025
Every once in awhile you go to see a show not knowing what the final product is going to be. The epic musical Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812 was one of those musicals that was very specific to its original staging because of it’s tent location. It was totally immersive. When the show moved to Broadway, it didn’t have the same effect.

by Chloe Yang - Nov 13, 2025
Director David Boyd discusses Catalyst Theater Company's production of Karen Zacarías' Legacy of Light, the award-winning play connecting 18th-century physicist Émilie du Châtelet with a modern-day astrophysicist. In this exclusive interview, Boyd reveals his cinematic approach to staging parallel timelines, the rehearsal room conversations about women balancing ambition and motherhood, and why this intellectually rigorous, female-driven narrative resonates with contemporary audiences. Legacy of Light runs November 14-16, 2024, at the duCret Center of Art in Plainfield, New Jersey. The play features six actors portraying nine characters across 300 years, exploring themes of science, surrogacy, legacy, and the impossible choices women face between career and family. Boyd, founding artistic director of Catalyst Theater Company and veteran scenic artist who has worked on productions including Sex and the City and Across the Universe, shares insights into bringing Karen Zacarías' Steinberg Citation-winning script to life in an intimate theater setting.

Review: & JULIET at Ahmanson Theatre
by Evan Henerson - Sep 2, 2025
& JULIET proves rather emphatically that nobody really needs an original idea or song when you can just as easily get folks rocking out to Britney Spears or Katy Perry.

Review: HAMLUKE at Rarig Stoll Thrust Theatre
by Jared Fessler - Aug 12, 2025
There’s no way Hamluke should work. It’s Hamlet smashed into Star Wars, with puppets, live music, a dozen people playing thirty different roles, and a script that switches between iambic pentameter and lightsaber duels without warning. And yet—it does. Somehow, it does.
