Review: NATASHA, PIERRE & THE GREAT COMET OF 1812 at Pioneer Theatre Company is Deliciously Opulent
Pioneer Theatre Company’s Utah premiere of NATASHA, PIERRE & THE GREAT COMET OF 1812 is deliciously, opulently staged and performed. It is unlikely that the rarely staged musical will ever be seen in the state again in such glorious trappings. Anyone with even a hint of interest should race to PTC to avoid missing out on what patrons will surely be discussing in hushed, reverent tones for seasons to come.

BWW Reviews: ICT's West Coast Premiere The Fix Proves Dark, Gripping Fare
Receiving its long overdue west coast premiere is The Fix, which premiered at the Donmar Warehouse in London in 1997 and then made its way finally to the US playing in Virginia, but never landing on Broadway. It's pure political satire with music, in the style of a rock opera, but, unlike pure rock opera, with spoken dialogue as well as the music to move the plot along. Reminding one of a vaudeville at times with its broad playing mood, it is an intensely dark, hard-hitting, gritty drama that socks a big wallop. Its one major drawback is its lack of comedic flair; it is so serious and razor sharp, it forgets to lighten up at times to let its audience digest it properly. Now in a finely staged engagement through May 20 at ICT, Long Beach, The Fix boasts above all else... a splendiferous cast.
