Review: BEETLEJUICE THE MUSICAL Presented by Broadway Across America at Kentucky Performing Arts


by Taylor Clemons - May 16, 2024

In the past few years in film, television, and onstage, it’s been proven that nostalgia sells…and it sells well. So it only seems natural (or should I say supernatural) that a spooky season favorite film Beetlejuice would make its way to the stage in a big flashy Broadway musical. ...

Review: SWEENEY TODD at Derby Dinner Playhouse


by Taylor Clemons - March 04, 2024
