Music Review: Disney's New THE LITTLE MERMAID Soundtrack Makes Less Out Of More… More Or Less CD/Books/DVDs: May 25, 2023

Truthfully, there is a lot to enjoy if you are unfamiliar with Disney’s THE LITTLE MERMAID, and even if you are, but taking all this on balance ... this new soundtrack comes off a bit thin

Review: IN A DIFFERENT REALITY SHE'S CLAWING AT THE WALLS at Shaking The Tree Portland: May 25, 2023

This wild play by Max Yu explores how technology isolates and then consumes us as it goes from being a tool we use to something we’re used by.

Review: Hannah Jane Brings WOMEN OF AN ERA To Chelsea Table + Stage Cabaret: May 25, 2023

Hannah Jane's voice is gorgeous, one could listen to her all evening and not tire of it.

Review: LET THE RIGHT ONE IN at Berkeley Repertory Theatre San Francisco / Bay Area: May 25, 2023

What did our critic think of LET THE RIGHT ONE IN at Berkeley Repertory Theatre?

Review: FJK DANCE: Raising the Arab Voice in Contemporary Dance at New York Live Arts Dance: May 25, 2023

What did our critic think of FJK DANCE: RAISING THE ARAB VOICE IN CONTEMPORARY DANCE at New York Live Arts? For their ninth season, FJK Dance presents three company signature works by Artistic Director Fadi J. Khoury, each rich with contemporary and visual arts, reflective narratives, and an overarching motif of peace building.

Review: THE CRUCIBLE at Eisenhower Theater Washington, DC: May 25, 2023

What did our critic think of THE CRUCIBLE at Eisenhower Theater? Choreographer Helen Pickett does in her ballet The Crucible just exactly what Arthur Miller attempted in his 1953 play, her source. Both try to make a new language to express the Salem witch trials of 1692 because those events were too extraordinary for regular English or garden-variety ballet.

Review: HEY DUGGEE, King's Theatre, Glasgow Scotland: May 25, 2023

Be part of the hit CBeebies show and join Duggee and the squirrels in this new vibrant interactive production bursting with music, puppets and barrels of laughs along the way.

Review: SWEENEY TODD at Signature Theatre Washington, DC: May 25, 2023

What did our critic think of SWEENEY TODD at Signature Theatre? Set in the dark streets of London in 1785, we follow barber Sweeney Todd (Nathaniel Stampley) as he returns from wrongful imprisonment by the horrifying Judge Turpin (John Leslie Wolf).

Review: Pieter-Dirk Uys proves once again that he is the master of satire and characterisation in SELL-BY-DATE South Africa: May 25, 2023

Pieter-Dirk Uys knows just how to tap into our fears and our challenges, and make us laugh at them. SELL-By-DATE does exactly that.

Review: THE SOUND INSIDE at Coal Mine Theatre Toronto: May 25, 2023

Rapp’s play, about a Yale creative writing professor facing down a terrible illness, and her relationship with a challenging student of whom she asks an impossible favour, has lived in my mind since I saw it. It’s a familiar story that goes in new directions; it’s mesmerizingly told, and acted with chemistry and grace by its cast of two.

Review: THE COMPLETE WORKS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (ABRIDGED) BY DAFNEY PRODUCTIONS India: May 25, 2023

What did our critic think of THE COMPLETE WORKS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (ABRIDGED) BY DAFNEY PRODUCTIONS at Dafney Productions?

Review: NOISES OFF at Teatr Polski In Wroclaw Poland: May 25, 2023

What did our critic think of NOISES OFF at Teatr Polski In Wroclaw?

Review: DO PENGUINS HAVE KNEES? at Jerzy Szaniawski Dramatyczny Theater in Walbrzych Poland: May 25, 2023

What did our critic think of DO PENGUINS HAVE KNEES? at Jerzy Szaniawski Dramatyczny Theater In Walbrzych?

Broadway Beyond Louisville Review: INTO THE WOODS at Tennessee Performing Arts Center Louisville: May 25, 2023

What did our critic think of INTO THE WOODS at Tennessee Performing Arts Center? The star-studded cast is led by Tony Award winner Stephanie J. Block and Sebastian Arcelus as The Baker’s Wife and the Baker respectively. They’re a real-life couple, so their chemistry is justly wonderful, but I cannot express how amazing their individual performances are as well.

Review: Farah Alvin Is A 1970S Goddess In ON VINYL at The Green Room 42 Cabaret: May 25, 2023

Broadway staple Farah Alvin celebrated, in glorious fashion, the recent release of her new record.

Review: TWENTY QUESTIONS, 20 Years Later Philippines: May 25, 2023

If you were to stage a 20-year-old two-hander post-pandemic, it’d be a smart move to update its directorial decisions and the script’s words and dialogues, especially with the play’s themes about young love, pre-marital sex, and peer pressure meant to resonate, at the least, with the Gen Zers today.

Star-studded INTO THE WOODS Tour Comes to Nashville for Eight-Performance Run at TPAC Nashville: May 24, 2023

Truth be told, this may be the most impressive assemblage of talent we’ve ever encountered on the Jackson Hall stage in our 30-some years of reviewing Broadway at TPAC. Seriously.

Review: AIN'T TOO PROUD: THE LIFE AND TIMES OF THE TEMPTATIONS at Proctors Theatre Central New York: May 24, 2023

What did our critic think of AIN'T TOO PROUD: THE LIFE AND TIMES OF THE TEMPTATIONS at Proctors Theatre?

Review: THE SAN DIEGO SYMPHONY PERFORMS TWO CLASSICS AND A WORLD PREMIERE At San Diego's Rady Shell San Diego: May 24, 2023

What did our critic think of THE SAN DIEGO SYMPHONY PERFORMS TWO CLASSICS AND A WORLD PREMIERE at San Diego's Rady Shell?

Review: FALSETTOS at Front Porch Theatricals Pairs a Warm Heart with a Cold Shoulder Pittsburgh: May 24, 2023

William Finn's neurotic queer musical epic isn't necessarily user-friendly, but Pittsburgh's best local playhouse still manages to find the warmth amidst the dysfunction.
