Review: A CHRISTMAS CAROL at Alley Theatre
by Jonathan Netek - Nov 19, 2024
Now in its third year under the skillful guidance of new (Remounting) Director Amber D. Gray, this Dickens classic has been freshly adapted by Alley Theatre’s Artistic Director Rob Melrose. A CHRISTMAS CAROL tells the story we all know so well: a miserly old man is visited by four ghosts who reveal the impact of his actions on others and the trajectory of his own life, leading him toward redemption. This adaptation stands out by weaving carols into the narrative as a guiding thread. Sung a cappella by the cast, these songs enhance the show’s festive charm. Some are timeless classics, while others feel rooted in the Victorian period, lending authenticity to the setting. The arrangements, rich with harmonies, are beautifully performed by a small group or the entire ensemble.

Review: CLUE at The 5th Avenue Theatre
by Jay Irwin - Jul 11, 2024
Dear Readers, chances are you played that classic board game “Clue” as a kid. That game of weapons and rooms and attempting to decipher who the killer is. And if so, then you also may have seen the classic 80’s comedy movie based on that game with a litany of comedy heavy hitters playing those iconic suspects. And if you’re like me, and love both of those things, when you heard a stage version of “Clue” was coming to the 5th Avenue Theatre you may have thought, “oh no, this could be dreadful”. Luckily, Dear Readers, it’s actually a lot of fun. In fact, I laughed out loud multiple times, and not just at the jokes I remembered from the movie.
