Review: HOT STUFF at SBX Theatre


by Paul Batterson - January 21, 2025

To understand Shadowbox Live’s latest offering, HOT STUFF, you need to go back to Thanksgiving or, more precisely, the day after Thanksgiving.

Review: LESLIE ODOM JR.'S CHRISTMAS TOUR at Southern Theatre

He shifted from the classic (such as “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”), the current (Wham!’s “Last Christmas,”) and the personal (“Snow” and “Heaven & Earth” from...
