Review: RENT: IN CONCERT at Strathmore


by Mary Lincer - February 26, 2026

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.

Review: TAMBO & BONES at Spooky Action Theater


by Jake Bridges - February 16, 2026

What starts as a minstrel show quickly mutates into a centuries-spanning interrogation of race, capitalism, and the hunger for auton...
