Review: SONGS FOR A NEW WORLD at Broadway National Theatre
by Brian Hilbrand - May 26, 2025

What did our critic think of SONGS FOR A NEW WORLD at Broadway National Theatre? Songs For a New World is a different show because it has a musical revue feel more than a traditional musical. It works as the music flows one song right to the next, allowing for a four-person cast to tell so many different stories through various roles. The Actors and Actresses were not short of talent musically, with such great harmonies and storytelling by song, and I could have listened to them along with the live orchestra all night long! The set was unique with rotating photos and minimal pieces of furniture and props, as well as frequent costume changes to bring you seamlessly along to each character's journey in their “New World”.

Review: THE LION IN WINTER at .Zack Theatre
by James Lindhorst - Oct 7, 2023

Director Tom Kopp’s sharp and brisk direction keeps things moving on the small stage at the .Zack Theater.
