Like its composer, KINKY BOOTS is so unusual. Meticulously derivative, yet passingly original.

BWW Reviews: PETER AND THE STARCATCHER National Tour - Peter and the Star Vehicle
February 6, 2014
February 6, 2014
Origin stories get a headstart. An audience follows deeper a familiar character. Clever, new exposition regarding established plot points is engaging and often delightful. Origin stories can be the flashback episode of a water cooler weekly serial. They can be the other side of a story like WICKED. They can be the how did the super hero discover their super-powers story or a combination of all three like PETER AND THE STARCATCHER. The show, based on Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson's book of similar name, calls itself 'a Grownup's Prequel to Peter Pan'. And in it, the devices of the origin story meet a play already propelled by a talented staging, hilarious incongruity, and impressive performances. The National Tour visits Tempe's Gammage Auditorium January 14th through 19th.

1st National Tour of IN THE HEIGHTS Continues Score-Driven Charm
June 20, 2010
June 20, 2010
The 1st National Tour of IN THE HEIGHTS arrived in Phoenix this week. A talented cast performs the fantastic score expertly. But as the show gets farther from its New York roots, its generic characters and storyline are less forgivable. The show's innovative advancement of the Broadway sound still makes the show a must-see.
