BEST MUSICAL WINNER of the Hollywood Fringe Festival 2013 returns ten years later to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of The Exorcist with an original rock musical that'll make your head spin and your bed shake! We watch as the dysfunctional Orgasmico Theatre Company dissects the film's cultural relevance, its controversial themes, the 1970s mentality, and pack their pretentious theories all into one big blasphemous rock musical parody that allows them to break the fourth wall and engage the audience.
JENNIFER'S BODY: The Unauthorized Musical From Hell Debuts at El Cid
Jennifer's Body: The Unauthorized Musical From Hell, based on the 20th Century Fox film starring Megan Fox, Amanda Seyfried, and Chris Pratt, debuts at El Cid beginning Thursday, March 1st. Adapted for the stage by Jordan Ross (Cruel Intentions: The 90s Musical Experience, The Unauthorized OC Musical) and directed by Joey Bybee, Diablo Cody's cult classic about a small-town girl turned evil succubus raises even more hell on stage with an early 2000s pop/rock soundtrack in this unauthorized campy send-up. (And, the show obviously includes Low Shoulder's Through The Trees because Low Shoulder are American heroes and we need them now more them ever.)

BWW Review: It's Austen Time - SENSE AND SENSIBILITY / I LOVE YOU BECAUSE
This past week I saw two different musicals that have taken their inspiration from classic Jane Austen novels and, while completely different in size and scale, both have considerable merits. The first is in San Diego where Paul Gordon's to-die-for new musical SENSE AND SENSIBILITY is gracing the stage at The Old Globe.

BWW Review: TICK, TICK... BOOM! - Simply a Mind-Blowing WOW!!!
After Hours Theatre has produced a kick-ass production of Jonathan Larson's TICK, TICK... BOOM!. Rebecca Kenigsberg astutely directs her ultra-talented cast of three at a quick, proficient pace wringing out all possible laughs and pathos out of Larson's autobiographical piece. Any theatre lover with an affinity to Larson's RENT will thoroughly enjoy the gone-too-soon skills of Larson's sharp lyrics, book and hummable tunes.
