Review: JERSEY BOYS at Desert Theatreworks


by Charlie Thomas - November 12, 2024

While many jukebox musicals rely heavily on the audience's pre-existing love for the music, 'Jersey Boys' stands out as an exception. This Tony-winning musical, currently gracing the stage at Desert Theatreworks, transcends its soundtrack....

Review: LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS at Revolution Stage Company


by Kay Kudukis - November 12, 2024

By now, pretty much everyone knows the musical Little Shop of Horrors was based on a 1960s film by Roger Corman with a “cameo” by Jack Nicholson. The film was a cult hit, and in 1982 Howard Ashman and Alan Menken published the musical of the same name....

Review: GULITY PLEASURES at Sun City Performing ARts


by David Green - November 10, 2024

This is a first! During the 31 years since the founding of the Performing Arts Club in Sun City Palm Desert, there has never been a review of any of the 100+ shows produced, performed and directed by the members. I am glad to report that the current show--a lively, engaging, colorful revue titled Gu...

Review: LA CAGE AUX FOLLES at Palm Canyon Theatre


by Charlie Thomas - October 31, 2024

What did our critic think of LA CAGE AUX FOLLES at Palm Canyon Theatre? Based on the 1973 French play of the same name by Jean Poiret, the musical gets the star treatment from composer/lyricist Jerry Herman and book by Harvey Fierstein and has become a gay cult classic since it’s Broadway debut in 1...

Review: I DO, I DO at Revolution Stage Company


by Kay Kudukis - October 21, 2024

Strong vocals carry the night at Revolution’s production of the dated, but funny, I Do, I Do. With book and lyrics by clever lyricist Tom Jones, the only song you might recall is Try to Remember (also in his 1960s musical The Fantasticks), which landed on the Billboard’s 100 in 1965 not once, but th...

Review: F**KING MEN at The Bent


by Kay Kudukis - October 16, 2024

Joe Dipietro’s play explores the different dynamics between men and the thrill of anonymous sex. The comic throughline of “Why do we bang strangers? Because it feels fantastic!” propels the action, and comedy carries the night but buried underneath are some deeper emotions, and complicated situation...

Review: DIAL M FOR MURDER at Desert TheatreWorks


by Charlie Thomas - October 11, 2024

It’s Halloween time again and what better way to get in the spookiest of vibes than seeing a good murder mystery, right? Desert Theatreworks in Indio has just the potion for you with their current production of 'Dial M for Murder'. ...

Review: SHUNNED at Palm Canyon Theatre


by Charlie Thomas - October 07, 2024

Upon sitting down to see Palm Canyon’s newest production, 'Shunned' written by Larry Parr, I was admittedly ignorant of what I was about to behold. 'Shunned' offers a compelling exploration of the Amish way of life, juxtaposing tradition against the inevitable pull of modernity. The nuanced performa...
