Review: OC's Segerstrom Center Welcomes New Tour of THE SOUND OF MUSIC


by Michael Quintos - June 08, 2026

You may ask yourself—is seeing a touring stage production of the globally and generationally ubiquitous 1959 musical THE SOUND OF MUSIC still worth experiencing live on stage in 2026? While the stage musical in its current touring form certainly doesn't offer anything revolutionary or new to the s...

Review: HELL'S KITCHEN at Hollywood Pantages


by Evan Henerson - June 03, 2026

As substantial as its built-in assets are, the two-time Tony Award winner, musical is lacking in other areas. Book writer Kristoffer Diaz has crafted an exciting leading character, and an even more interesting supporting player. Alas, he has also included a rather perfunctory family triangle that gu...

Review: PRIMARY TRUST at Mark Taper Forum
