BWW Review: ROCK OF AGES is a Runaway Train of Sexiness and Head Banging
The cast for TheatreWorks Florida's Central Florida Premiere of the musical ROCK OF AGES is dynamite; easily one of the two or three best collections of talent that I have seen on an Orlando stage in my three-plus seasons of Central Florida theatergoing. Director and choreographer Scott A. Cook has crafted an impressively ambitious production with a top-notch, multi-level set from James F. Beck. The silly show is trivial at best, but that is the exact mark that it aims to hit, and the onstage band, led by music director Shannon Kropf, rocks incredibly hard to some of the most recognizable tunes of the hairband-era.

BWW Review: UCF's THE DIVINE SISTER is Delightfully Unholy Comedy
While it has been nearly 20 years since I was a Catholic school student, I have to admit that I don't quite remember it being much like St. Veronica's in Theatre UCF's production of Charles Busch's bawdy comedy THE DIVINE SISTER. Directed by UCF Associate Professor Kate Ingram, the play runs through October 3rd in the campus' Black Box Theatre. The 2010 Off-Broadway comedy lampoons Hollywood's obsession with nuns, riffing on THE SOUND OF MUSIC, THE BELLS OF ST. MARY, AGNES OF GOD, and more; Busch even mixes in his take on the recent surge in Catholic mythology fiction, a la THE DAVINCI CODE. While the humor might be something that would normally get your hand smacked with a ruler, the show does have an ultimately sweet, faith-affirming message; despite the sacreligious and sophomoric humor that, if you suffer Catholic guilt, will likely have you running for the confessional booth.Â

BWW Review: Theatre UCF's Talented Cast Makes Difficult NINE Compelling Theatre
A musical with Italian opera-inspired songs about a philandering middle-aged film director with writer's block, and the dozens of women that influence his life and work, does not seem like an obvious choice for a college theatre program to undertake. However, under the direction of Earl D. Weaver (who also choreographed), Theatre UCF sinks its collective teeth into the neurotic, misogynistic, and childish mind of Guido Contini in NINE, running through March 29th. This seven-time Tony-winning musical is based on the semi-autobiographical film '8½' by Italian director Federico Fellini. The cast of 21 women, one man, and four boys creates an evocative world that seems to hover in the realm between fantasy and reality; much like many of Fellini's films. With striking talent, breath-taking design, and artistic vision, Theatre UCF succeeds where many professional companies would (and have) faltered; despite its unsettling premise, NINE is a joyful reminder of the power of young talent in the arts.
