Review: MAD Theatre of Tampa Presents ROCK OF AGES at the Shimberg Playhouse in the Straz Center
by Peter Nason - Jan 19, 2025
It's a balls to the walls, big-hearted but empty-headed jukebox musical that celebrates the 1980s hair bands. Guaranteed to make you escape the world's current tumult!

Review: A Look Back at the Best of 2024; Thank God for Local Theatre

Previews: URINETOWN at MAD Theatre Of Tampa
by Deborah Bostock-Kelley - Jun 11, 2024
In today's politically charged climate, URINETOWN mirrors society's extremes. Director Cory Boyas encourages his young performers to delve into the material's political themes, reflecting, 'We are a divided country... so how can we not engage with it?' He sees the musical as representing the ideological spectrum, where 'Urinetown parallels this dynamic quite nicely.'

Review: Adam Rapp's NOCTURNE Starring Drew Eberhard Will Break Your Heart
by Peter Nason - Jan 24, 2024
My father’s mom died in 1955. After my own mother passed away fifty-one years later, one of my sisters asked my father the following question: “How long did it take you to get over the loss of your mother?” My father, now an old man, pondered the question, remembering his mother who had died a half century earlier, then answered quite succinctly but with a sad smile: “I’ll let you know.”

Review: Paul Potenza Will Break Your Heart as THE ELEPHANT MAN at The Tampa Repertory Theatre
by Peter Nason - Feb 6, 2023
Sometimes a show comes along that is so powerful, at times shattering, with a top-flight cast, that it deserves two Broadway World reviews. Tampa Rep's production of THE ELEPHANT MAN certainly fits into that category. My BWW colleague, Drew Eberhard, saw the show at its final preview, and I had the honor of attending its opening weekend. At the play's center is a performance by Paul Potenza in the title role that should have anyone reading this sentence to stop what they're doing and obtain their tickets ASAP. THE ELEPHANT MAN runs at the HCC Studio Theater in Ybor City thru February 19th, so you better hurry.
