The talents and legacy of composer-lyricist Cole Porter are always worth celebrating, especially in his birthday month of June. Here's a look at some current evidence of his lasting presence in cabaret shows, etc.

Advertised as “Grease meets Squid Game”, Fun At The Beach Romp Bomp A Lomp!! manages to go from the ridiculous to the sublime, even if it does lose its way every now and then.

What did our critic think of THE WIZARD OF OZ at Meridian Theatres @ Centrepointe?

What did our critic think of SUNSET BOULEVARD at The Princess Theatre?

The term gaslight is likely more well known than its etymology in the 1938 Patrick Hamilton play. Rather than being a play about manipulation, the modern retelling brings a plot and characters rich with tension and drama. The play is a classic, and the modern adaptation maintains the elements whilst thrusting Bella into a more central role.

Despite my critiques of the show’s content itself, OTHELLO: THE REMIX is certainly a fun night out due to the catchy songs, exciting dance moves, and wonderful performances. I believe that everyone should watch the show, take in the exhilarating music and theatrical pictures, and see for themselves what they take away from the story.

What did our critic think of WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF at The Lantern Theatre?

This outstanding production of AS YOU LIKE IT is a perfect introduction for Shakespeare newbies and delivers a high-quality performance for the most ardent of Shakespeare aficionados. The directorial vision is beyond remarkable.

Mary has a job to do and no time for regrets. But Jim wants them both to not look back in anger. As they share sandwiches, old rifts reveal themselves, but can they both really move on and leave the past behind?

RENT, the late Jonathan Larson's masterpiece, was a cultural sensation in 1996, winning the Tony Award for Best Musical and a Pulitzer for Drama. But does it still resonate with today’s younger audiences?

LIMBO THE RETURN, as its namesake, is here to once again wow you with another circus cabaret. This is an accomplished show that combines circus/acrobatics with the eclectic music of a passionate band, all led by with Director Scott Maidment’s artistic vision.

Last Friday, May 24, the audience at 54 Below was treated to the beautiful, dulcet tones of America’s Got Talent finalist, Jimmie Herrod with COLOR & LIGHT. This reviewer loved seeing just how much Herrod was enjoying himself on stage. He performed with such ease and grace and communicated so effortlessly with his bandmates. It was a joy to watch!

What did our critic think of THE CHASE: A LIGHTBRINGER STORY at Off Broadway Palm?

Intimacy is one of STAGES THEATRE’s core values. And they should point to this anytime they want to proclaim proof of it. You can’t do this in a larger space. Nobody else in town could pull this off. It is a prime example of what this company does best.

What did our critic think of RUNAWAY PRINCESS: A HOPEFUL TALE OF HEROIN, HOOKING, AND HAPPINESS at Off Broadway Palm?

This delightful comedy, directed by Kelli Kauterman, is the perfect way to kick off the summer season. The cast doesn’t miss a beat. It is not easy to perform outside, surrounded by a host of distractions and noise, but this cast is fully engaged in their characters and the story, and they bring the audience along for the ride.

While theater often manages to entertain or to move its audience, Angles in America is a great example of how quality theater can also educate....upon hearing Kushner’s masterful dialogue and viewing Checchia’s excellently vulgar and vile performance (of Roy Cohn), I was incentivized to learn everything that I could about this man and the damage that he has done.

What did our critic think of THE OTHER SIDE at Alliance For The Arts Classroom Theater?
