The Hunchback of Notre Dame will be playing the Houston Broadway Theatre at the Cullen Theater in the Wortham Center. Diego Guevara is playing Clopin, and spoke about creating a sexier, fashion-forward, yet still dark version of the classic tale.   

ISHIDA DANCE had a world premiere with their presentation of waiting / REX at the Asia Society Texas Center. This program is an adaptation of Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot and Sophocles' Oedipus Rex. Both are choreographed by the company’s artistic director.

There’s not much to critique here; CLUE is just fun. If you love the game or the movie, you know what you are in for ahead of time. It’s an hour and twenty minutes that flies by, leaves you laughing, and lets you forget the world for a bit.

Whether you’re a #1 fan of Stephen King or just coming in the door, this MISERY is worth enduring. The acting is top-notch, and the tech puts the film to shame.

I got into acting really early. I went to a small school. I kind of started in choir first, so I came in with a singing lens. As a kid, I used to tell people I wanted to be Mariah Carey, so I loved singing.

So, in no order (and with no clarity of categories), here are the BROADWAY WORLD HOUSTON CRITICS’ CHOICE awards for the 2025-2026 season! CHEERS!

'I say it a lot. Our situation would not work for everybody, for all couples, but somehow, someway, what proves to us that we’re meant for each other is that we are together all the time.'

One of the coolest things that Theatre Under the Stars does every year is host an awards program for high school students called The Tommy Tune Awards. The winners in each category move on to consideration for the Jimmy Awards, a national program that will culminate in their awards this year on Monday, June 22, 2026, at 7:30 PM at the Minskoff Theatre in Manhattan.

I felt like this might be my last chance to do something this ambitious, something I've wanted to do for a long time, with a theater that actually gave me my first theatrical opportunities as a student at Rice University.

AIRLINE HIGHWAY is a fascinating slice of life from Lisa D’Amour. It feels like we are watching everything happen in real time, and it seems so authentic to New Orleans. It has a wonderful sense of place.

TUTS makes it live up to its name. It’s a handsome production, a great cast, and it feels like an old faithful friend. When you’re down and troubled, and you need a helping hand, just call the box office. 

“I’ve been singing since I was three,” he said. “I’ve been acting since middle school.”

The Alley is now presenting DEAR ALIEN, a show that'll be running through May 31st in the lower Neuhaus space. It is a world premiere by playwright Liz Duffy Adams. BROADWAY WORLD writer Brett Cullum got to sit down with Alley Company member Dylan Godwin and talk about the show, philosophy, and breaking the fourth wall. 

This is Sartre for the America of today, and the Alley Theatre kicks it off in grand style in its Neuhaus auditorium below their mainstage.

It's a political comedy parody. In the broadest sense, we're making fun of all things Trump and MAGA.

One day, I thought, you know what? There's one group of songs from the Disney studios, their animated films, that we all grew up with. So many songs that have become part of the American consciousness.

I'm playing the role of Lyons. Oh! And yeah, this is… this is, like, my second time playing it, and this is one of my favorite plays, so I'm very, very excited to be at the Alley with this one.

Out of the knights, I knew the least about Monty Python, so I had a lot of catching up to do. I was building the plane as I was flying it, but they were so gracious in helping me learn about the style of comedy that it is.

AN IDEAL MAN is a fun spin on the source material, and it’s charming and affable in its delivery. I like the idea of the cast of DYNASTY suddenly being thrust into Oscar Wilde’s England via River Oaks.

You really need a talented group of singers, and THE GARDEN THEATRE has put together a stacked cast of musical actors who have appeared in their shows over the last five years.
