Review: MJ THE MUSICAL Peels Back the Myth at San Diego Civic Theatre
by Lucía Serrano - May 7, 2026

I was 14 when Michael Jackson passed away, and I mourned him like I’ve never mourned a public figure since then. I was never really a fangirl of anyone, but Michael Jackson existed in a league of his own. That is exactly what the Tony Award-winning MJ The Musical, with a book by Lynn Nottage, captures with precision, spectacle, and surprising tenderness.

Review: INDIGO at Human Race Theatre Company
by Jenni Cypher - Jun 14, 2023

When going into a theatre to see a brand new musical, it is very difficult to know what exactly you are going to get.  Are you going to want to linger and hope there is more, or are you going to be hunting furiously for the exit?  I am happy to say that the world premier INDIGO now playing at the Human Race Theatre Company was the first of the two.  I love theatre but it isn’t often that I leave a show contemplating purchasing tickets for a return visit.  I still haven’t ruled it out.
