BWW Review: LUCKY STIFF at Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre
by Rich Mehrenberg - February 16, 2019

You might not be familiar with the latest Dutch Apple production, Lucky Stiff. The 1988, Off-Broadway show might best be described as 2 parts Weekend at Bernie's, 1 part Brewster's Millions, with a splash of The Bucket List thrown in for good measures. Those who appreciate broad, farcical comedies w...

BWW Review: DISENCHANTED at Prima Theatre
by Jessica Crowe - February 04, 2019

Take ten beloved heroines from some of the world's most well known fairy tales. Instead of giving you the fluffy storybook myths that we are used to, these princesses rip those facades apart to show you what life is REALLY like after 'the end'....

BWW Review: CHICAGO at Fulton Theatre
by Rich Mehrenberg - January 25, 2019

The Fulton's Chicago is sexy and sultry. It is going to get you hot and bothered. So much so that exit doors were opened during intermission to cool down both actors and audience....

BWW Review: STAND BY YOUR MAN at Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre

The Dutch Apple production of Stand By Your Man provides a non-glamorized portrayal of one of country music's biggest icons.  The performances are very strong within a script that could still use a little work....

The 1843 Charles Dickens novel A Christmas Carol is a familiar tale. Each holiday season A Christmas Carol can be found in one of its over 130 adaptations on the screen or on the stage.
