Houston Ballet's season is putting on one of the most celebrated traditions of the holidays: THE NUTCRACKER. As a sneak peek at this year’s THE NUTCRACKER, we spoke with Kellen Hornbuckle, one of the company’s ballerinas. Through our conversation with her, we discussed what we can look forward to in this year’s THE NUTCRACKER and more!

When I walked out of the theater after watching THE SECRET OF MY SUCCESS, I had a big ol' smile on my face. I feel that all could enjoy this show since it has everything you could ever want in a production! It is truly special that this show, which has a future across the U.S. if not on Broadway someday, is premiering here in Houston, Texas.

If you are looking for a fun night out this weekend, KINKY BOOTS is the show for you! With catchy music created by Cyndi Lauper, flashy costumes, amazing dance moves, and a feel-good story, this musical is not one to miss. Through the show’s entertaining numbers, audience members are reminded that it is in our differences that we find beauty.

This weekend, the University of Houston will be starting their run of MARISOL, a play written by José Rivera. This magical production follows the story of a young woman named Marisol who has a guardian angel. I had the honor to speak with Jose Zayas, the director of the production, and it was a delight to learn about the beauty of this production.

Houston’s Theatre Under the Stars will be presenting a regional premiere of the new musical, THE SECRET OF MY SUCCESS. Based on the smash-hit film, the show follows the story of Brantley Foster as he navigates the corporate world and defines what success means to him. I had the chance to speak with Ben Frankhauser, who plays Brantley Foster!

When I go to a theatre production, I hope for a show that whisks me away from my current worries. I crave to see spectacle and beauty in the visual elements, and I wish to be stunned by the talent. Ken Ludwig's LEND ME A SOPRANO at the Alley Theatre gave me everything I desire in a theatre production! You do not want to miss this show's debut.

This past weekend, Mildred’s Umbrella Theatre Company presented a visiting artist from Israel through her one-woman show that made its audience laugh and cry while educating about the struggles of infertility. Inspired by the true story of its performer, SCRAMBLED is highly physical show that is intimate, thought-provoking, and truly one-of-a-kind.

The Texas Premiere of musical GIDEON AND THE BLUNDERSNORP is certain to delight anyone with a taste for adventure! The story follows a stableboy and a viscountess who must work together to fight a treacherous monster. In the end, all those who watch are reminded that, with dedication and aspiration, you are capable of being anything you want to be.
