It was good to be back at the Washington National Opera for their thrilling performance of West Side Story after a year of extreme change for this vital world-renowned artistic organization/institution.

Review: THE GREAT GATSBY at National Theatre


by David Friscic - May 19, 2026

The current touring production of the Broadway musical The Great Gatsby tries to wrap its hand around the elusive and enigmatic novel of the same name by F.

Review: THE BOOK OF MORMON at National Theatre


by David Friscic - May 01, 2026

The Book of Mormon continues its robustly quirky, comedic, and intentionally offensive romp as it enjoys a much too-short touring run at the National Theatre in Washington, DC.  Rushing to get tickets to this production would be a wise idea ---the phenomenon that is the Tony-winning The Book of Mor...
