What did our critic think of ASHLEY MCBRYDE: THE DEVIL I KNOW TOUR at Robinson Center?

The married duo releases a country single that captures the spirit of performing live and chasing dreams. Get all the details here!

What did our critic think of FULLY COMMITTED at Main Stage Creative Community Center? I love chasing around my favorite actors (Does that sound stalkish?), and when they travel to a town I haven’t visited in a long time, that’s even better!

What did our critic think of BALLETS WITH A TWIST: COCKTAIL HOUR at UA-Pulaski Tech: The Center For Humanities And Arts?

When you think of radio in Arkansas, there are very few that would come to mind worthy enough to make the Mount Rushmore of Radio in Central Arkansas-- Bob Robbins, Tommy Smith, Craig O’Neill, Broadway Joe Booker and Corey Deitz would be the five making up that monument of honor.

What did our critic think of SWEENEY TODD: DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET at Actors Theatre Of Little Rock?

The Royal Theatre has announced their fourth annual haunted house coming back this October! Learn more about the event and find out how to attend here!

The Band's Visit, the musical sensation that swept the Tony Awards after its Broadway debut, will have its regional premier October 11 at TheatreSquared.

What did our critic think of ROALD DAHL'S MATILDA at Wildwood Park For The Arts? First introduced in an illustrated book by Roald Dahl and then brought to the stage and the big screen, Matilda is a special girl who loves reading and can move things with her mind! Now she’s brought to central Arkansas in a fun-filled, heartwarming musical at Wildwood Park for the Arts.

Nominations are now open for the 2023 BroadwayWorld Arkansas Awards. The 2023 Regional Awards honor productions which had their first performance between October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2023.

What did our critic think of INTO THE WOODS at Rialto Community Theatre?

Broadway World was thrilled to be able to chat with New York based company BALLET WITH A TWIST Artistic Director and Choreographer Marilyn Klaus about their show and visit to North Little Rock 

Sometimes when you travel, the trip is long and boring. There are crying babies, you sit next to someone who snores, and/or you’re lonely. This was not the case with Broadway World’s favorite MC and guest writer Blake Woodson during his recent trip to Denver. Blake had the privilege to sit next to Arkansas Concert Royalty Dennis Stone and decided to seize the moment by getting to know him better.  

There is nothing that gets me more excited than discovering new music that makes me instantly fall in love. You know what I’m saying...those artists and songs that make your mind drift away to a fantasy world for a few minutes of escape...that’s what THE IVY does with their new single “Good Faith.”  

What did our critic think of PETER AND THE STARCATCHER at The Royal Theatre?

What did our critic think of SOUTHERN FRIED FUNERAL at Murry's Dinner Playhouse? I always love going to Murry’s Dinner Playhouse, 6323 Col Glenn Rd, in Little Rock. The shows are wonderful, the actors are Broadway worthy, and the food is tasty. On the stage from now through Saturday, Sept. 9, SOUTHERN FRIED FUNERAL, written by Nathan Eppler and J. Dietz Osbourne, will make you laugh, touch your heart, and shed a possible tear or two.  

What did our critic think of BRING IT ON THE MUSICAL at Argenta Community Theatre? We’ve got spirit, yes we do....or is it spelled spirt? With Direction by Justin Pike and Music Direction by Leann Jones, these actors turned cheerleaders at The Argenta Community Theater, 405 Main Street, in North Little Rock, will get you rooting for...well...all of them at BRING IT ON, from now through Saturday, Sept. 9.  

What did our critic think of SEUSSICAL JR at Manila High School? Before their final bow, CSP Kids put on a wonderful production of SEUSSICAL JR., at Manila High School Friday-Sunday, August 11-13.

What did our critic think of CIRCLE MIRROR TRANSFORMATION at The Weekend Theater? I never know what to expect when I go to The Weekend Theater, 1001 W 7th St, in Little Rock. This troupe of performers like to push boundaries, put you in your feelings, and often times make things awkward. For this entertainment offering, Director Dakota Mansfield brought CIRCLE MIRROR TRANSFORMATION, which is an intentional thinker of a play. The whole audience was discussing it at intermission and once the show was over. You have two more weekends, September 1-3 and 8-10, to check it out.  

Northwest Arkansas audiences are packing TheatreSquared to see Dial M for Murder, a twisty and timeless crime thriller with a sharp, clever update. Due to this overwhelming demand, T2 is adding seven additional shows by extending the run to September 17.

What did our critic think of MEREDITH WILLSON'S THE MUSIC MAN at Red Curtain Theatre?

​​​​​​​TheatreSquared (T2) Artistic Director Robert Ford and Board President Todd Simmons today announced that the board of directors has invited Shannon A. Jones, TheatreSquared's talented general manager, to serve as the company's new executive director.

What did our critic think of BIRTHDAY FROM HELL at The Joint Theater?

What did our critic think of LITTLE WOMEN THE MUSICAL at The Royal Theatre? The classic novel Little Women by Louisa May Alcott is a favorite amongst our household, so we were excited when we heard LITTLE WOMEN THE MUSICAL was going to be at The Royal Theatre, 111 S Market St., in Benton, August 3-13, 2023. I am confident in reporting that there were tears shed, not only from me but from many audience members the night we attended the show. There was so much to this production, and I will get to that shortly.
