Latest Washington, DC Reviews


Review: THE SEA BEYOND THE OCEAN at The Kennedy Center


by Aidan O'Connor - March 01, 2026

How far would you go to keep your loved ones happy? To ensure the very thing that binds you when all else fails, has a satisfactory ending? In the Kennedy Center’s World Premiere Commission, The Sea Beyond the Ocean, 9-year-old Scooter (Ty’Ree Hope Davis) tests those limits to help his sick fath...

Review: RENT: IN CONCERT at Strathmore


by Mary Lincer - February 26, 2026

Yes, Rent opened on Broadway thirty years ago. Having seen its final preview with a rapt and frequently weeping audience, it was fun to share it with an audience that knows the score (and when to moo)....

Review: LITTLE MISS PERFECT at The Olney Theatre Center


by Audrey Cahak - February 22, 2026

Review: Scena Theatre's KRAPP'S LAST TAPE a Moving Tribute to Beckett, Mortality


by Andrew White - February 17, 2026

Krapp’s Last Tape is Scena Theatre’s contribution to a mini-Beckett festival that has popped up in our midst this past week, and it’s a poignant reminder of how Beckett foresaw demise—his, ours, everyone’s—with a combination of wry humor, and a resignation that sometimes borders on relie...

Review: CHEZ JOEY at Arena Stage


by David Friscic - February 17, 2026

An embarrassment of theatrical riches, bordering on sensory, stimulating overload, is on display in an exceptionally bold and satisfying reimagining of the very influential musical Pal Joey—now reconceived as Chez Joey. The show still takes place in the 1940’s Chicago music/nightclub scene, but ...

Review: TAMBO & BONES at Spooky Action Theater


by Jake Bridges - February 16, 2026

With TAMBO & BONES, Spooky Action Theatre takes on a satirical and biting piece that refuses to play by the rules, whether it be of narrative, of genre, or of comfort. What starts as a minstrel show quickly mutates into a centuries-spanning interrogation of race, capitalism, and the hunger for auton...
