by Greer Firestone - April 28, 2023
What dAisle Say was a trifle surprised at the first dialogue interchange of I LOVE YOU, YOU’RE PERFECT, NOW CHANGE, the current production at Candlelight.

Review: IRVING BERLIN'S WHITE CHRISTMAS at Candlelight Music Theatre
by Greer Firestone - November 28, 2022
After a stellar run of showstoppers and extraordinary, electric entertainment in 2022, Candlelight returns to the seasonal theme of sentimental and saccharine with Irving Berlin’s WHITE CHRISTMAS The Musical.

BWW Review: BIG FISH at Candlelight Music Theatre
by Greer Firestone - April 04, 2022
Aisle Say’s most recent review was at DE Theatre Co’s OTHER WORLD, the largest and most technically challenging production in their 45-year history. The budgets of that show versus the cost of Candlelight’s BIG FISH are as dissimilar as Mt. Kilimanjaro to Brandywine Park’s Monkey Hill....
