All in all, The Addams Family is a fun time.  Despite a few PG-13 level references, it will please just about everyone.   

The Fulton’s Equus is a master class of acting. Anger, hatred, fear, love shame, and more are all conveyed inches away from you.  Playing on the fourth floor, now through March 3rd.  

Director Jeremiah Miller, and assistant director Justin Hopkins do a great job of maximizing the entire performance space and making the show quite immersive.  Speaking of which, kudos to fight coordinator, Dan Burke who choreographed an intense full-cast battle during the second half of the show worth the price of admission, alone.

IT HAPPENED IN KEY WEST is a diamond in the rough.

Agatha Christie has sold more books than anyone other than the Bible and Shakespeare.  This story easily explains why.  Go see it, learn the secrets of The Mousetrap, and then, most importantly, keep them to yourself!

Crystal is a spectacular, unique mash-up of acrobatics, juggling, dance, and stunt skating

What did our critic think of COME FROM AWAY at Hershey Theatre? The national tour of the hit musical, Come From Away is currently playing at the Hershey Theatre.  It is a remarkable true story of kindness and community.  Sort of a musical documentary, the story tells the events that occurred in the small Canandian town of Gander, when dozens of planes and thousands of passengers were grounded and redirected to their town following the events of September 11th.

Put on your Sunday clothes and go see Hello, Dolly! at Susquehanna Stage, playing now through December 17th.  The classic Broadway musical is full of funny lines and memorable tunes.

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is a blockbuster spectacle.  It’s an electric powerhouse of entertainment that doesn’t let up. Word of mouth for this show is going to be strong.  I am going to see it again, at least once. I recommend buying tickets now before it inevitably sells out.

Along with the moody lighting and the creepy, curtained bedroom set, the Fulton produced a version of Misery that is just as, if not more so, scarier than the movie.  Stephen King would be proud.

Jesus Christ Superstar is a classic show that brought rock music to the Broadway stage.  EPAC’s production might not be perfect but it has a lot to offer.  Running now through October 28.

Mean Girls shares its Broadway DNA with two other movies-turned musicals that also explores these issues,Heathers and Legally Blonde.  As Yogi Berra would say, 'it's deja vu all over again'.

Escape to Margaritaville celebrates one last gasp of summer vibes.  It will be especially appreciated by Jimmy Buffet fans and Hawaiian shirt owners.  While you are at it, order a glass (or two) of the jalapeno-infused “Margarita Our Parents Warned Us About” to add some extra heat to your special evening. our critic think of ESCAPE TO MARGARITAVILLE at Dutch Apple Dinner Theater?

While the plot and jokes of Something Rotten will be appreciated by most audience members, if will be especially welcomed by musical theater nerds who will recognize the beginnings riffs of Pippin’s Magic to Do and brief homages to a certain Technicolor Dreamcoat.  The more you know, the more you will laugh.

EPAC continues to do an amazing job of bringing stories of diversity to her Central Pennsylvania stage. The only thing better would be to see a similar level of diversity among her audience.
