Review: A CHRISTMAS STORY: THE MUSICAL at Springer Opera House
by Russell Warne - Dec 6, 2024

COLUMBUS, GEORGIA — A Christmas Story is one of the most beloved holiday films of all time. Though lesser known, the stage musical adaptation (with a script by Joseph Robinette and music and lyrics by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul) is gaining a following. Over the past ten years, productions of the musical have proliferated, and it has even become an annual tradition for some theatre companies. The Springer Opera House is the latest group to mount A Christmas Story: The Musical, and though the production has a rocky start, it finds its legs in the end.

Over seventy years after its initial publishing, C.S. Lewis’s The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe continues to entertain children of all ages. FreeFall Stage is bringing the classic story to life on stage with an adaptation by Joseph Robinette. Director DeeDee Eldridge is at the helm of this project and, when asked why she chose this story to tell, said, “It’s a wonderful, iconic story and it’s been twenty years since I did it with my students.” She has assembled another great cast to deliver Lewis’s message of perseverance, courage, and hope.

Review: THE JUNGLE BOOK at Grant County Community Theater
by Theresa Bertram - May 16, 2024

Broadway World went on a hunt for the bare necessities when we traveled to Sheridan to see The Grant County Theater’s presentation of THE JUNGLE BOOK Friday, May 10, but instead found all sorts of wild thespians taking the stage. Written by Joseph Robinette and based on the book by Rudyard Kipling, this play was not exactly like the Disney version, but it still had a lot of the familiar characters.  It was a packed house, and rightfully so. This theater grabs you when you walk into the door.

Review: A CHRISTMAS STORY at Ahmanson
by Evan Henerson - Dec 18, 2023

Lenz’s production is solid family stuff, a little bit cock-eyed, and easy on the treacle. Knowledge of the original movie is by no means a prerequisite to enjoyment of ACS: TM. If you’re craving certain iconic moments from the movie, rest assured you’ll find them, possibly even amped up or with a musical number built around them.
