Review: LIFE OF PI at Providence Performing Arts Center
by Christopher Verleger - Feb 12, 2025

by Greg Kerestan - Jan 30, 2025

by Franco Milazzo - Dec 31, 2024
Writing stage reviews is an adventure I have yet to tire of. This year, I sat in the dark and scribbled hieroglyphics into my notebook in a dark room as I watched opera, cabaret, dance, circus, comedy, clowns, musicals, concert films, buckets of immersive shows (theatre, dining, even panto) and even some theatre.

Review: THE LIFE OF PI at The Hippodrome
by Timoth David Copney - Dec 12, 2024
When I first learned about the movie Life of Pi, I confess I was less than curious, having neither heard of nor read the book. Several years later, when it was adapted into a movie and then a Broadway play—with stops along the way in London’s West End, where it racked up a slew of Olivier Awards (the British equivalent of our Tonys)—I became much more intrigued.
