I'll be loving them forever!!!

What did our critic think of YOU'RE A GOOD MAN CHARLIE BROWN at Windgate Center For The Fine And Performing Arts?

This romantic comedy will have you laughing throughout the whole performance.

Fun for the whole family, this theatre troupe will have you smiling through the Biblical tale of Joseph.

The Historic Royal Theatre will present the Young Players in their “divine” production of Sister Act JR. This production, made possible by our sponsorship with Everett Buick GMC, will open July 2024. The musical tells the story of Deloris Van Cartier, a high-spirited aspiring singer, who witnesses a murder and is forced to enter the Queen of Angels convent under witness protection. 

There was laughter, there was singing, and each show had a special guest bringing the news about the impending doom. Fun was had by all. 

What did our critic think of ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW at CALS Ron Robinson Theater?

Dinner and a show? It’s the best combination, which is why I love going to The Searcy Summer Dinner Theatre on the Harding University Campus in Searcy. From now through June 29th, have some delicious dinner catered by Bison Hospitality and watch the hilarious farcical comedy BLITHE SPIRIT....just remember to save the blueberry muffin (a 41 year tradition) for intermission.  

Celebrity Attractions has announced its 2024-2025 Broadway season featuring shows like HAMILTON, WICKED, and THE LION KING. Tickets are now available for an exciting lineup of performances.

What did our critic think of I HATE HAMLET at The Pocket Community Theatre?

What did our critic think of SHE KILLS MONSTERS at The Weekend Theater?

The Studio Theatre, 320 W 7th St, in Little Rock, heats things up with ONCE ON THIS ISLAND THE MUSICAL now through June 23. Join them as they take you through a tropical fairytale full of romance, magic, and tragedy. With Book and Lyrics by Lynn Ahrens, Music by Stephen Flaherty, and Direction by Caelon Colbert, and based on Rosa Guy's 1985 novel My Love, My Love; or, The Peasant Girl, a Caribbean retelling of Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid, you will fall in love with these characters as they struggle through trauma, social status, and colorism. 

It was a hot day with the heat index reaching 100 degrees for the kick-off of the 2024 Webmonster Concert Series at Magic Springs Theme and Water Park, 1701 East Grand Ave, in Hot Springs, with Arkansas band de France opening for the Spin Doctors Saturday, June 8. Still, what better place is there to watch an outdoor concert than at Magic Springs? You can play in the water and ride the rides with the wind blowing in your face for hours before the show starts. Then spread out your blanket or sit on your lawn chair on the grass inside the fences of the Timberwood Amphitheater, which Magic Springs had looking like some of the best Arkansas golf courses you can find. It is such an inviting venue to soak up the sun and some amazing music.  

What did our critic think of THE RESPONDERS at TheatreSquared?

What did our critic think of THE WIZARDS OF ODD at The Joint Theater?

What did our critic think of LIGHT BLIND at Riverside Actors Theatre?

Heart wrenching. Intoxicating. Love. Courageous. These performers in 26 PEBBLES with the Actor Theatre of Little Rock put out a powerful performance, and they still have a few more days to go.

TheatreSquared has announced the lineup of new plays for the 2024 Arkansas New Play Festival (ANPF).

We here at Broadway World love to celebrate, and this time it was my birthday. So what did I do to party? I went to Brookstock Events’ Open House in Dover Saturday, May 25, to check out their venue and to see my friend DONNIE LEE STRICKLAND perform for the attendees, and we all had the best time. With free hot dogs, water, friends and the whole place singing happy birthday to me, there was no better way to celebrate. 

What did our critic think of WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF at The Lantern Theatre?

At the end of the school year, The Red Curtain Theatre, 913 W Oak Street, in Conway, puts together a program to spotlight what their students have learned over the year. They have voice lessons, dance in all styles, and musical theatre class for students of all ages including adults, done by professionals that truly care about their budding artists. This year, their finale was themed THE ODYSSEY, which was Produced by Kristen Dickerson and Emceed by Kurt Baumann and performed Thursday and Friday, May 23rd  and 24th.  It had variety with great costumes and an eclectic cohesiveness throughout the storytelling.
