Review: TIERGARTEN Subverts Expectations at The Church Of St. Mary's Great Hall
This Wednesday night, on April 17, 2024, Death of Classical took its sold-out audience on a journey backwards through time, starting in Weimar Germany and going all the way back to biblical times with a series of song, dance, and shadow puppets. Andrew Ousley curates a number of delightfully strange events for DOC, and this night was no exception.
EDINBURGH 2023: Review: SHOWSTOPPER, Gilded Balloon Teviot, Turret
From the moment she steps onto the stage, Klein is here to show the audience that she is a star.

Her opening song, in which she sings about the star being “Totally me,” is an absolute bop and immediately had me hooked.
Review: The Festival d'Avignon Presents MILK By BASHAR MURKUS
In Avignon's 'other theatre', a purpose built space some miles out of the city center, Bashar Murkus presents his new dance theatre piece Milk. It is an elemental meditation of death, rebirth, and disaster. It is this theme of disaster in particular that captivates Murkus's imagination. The piece occupies itself with the viscera of the human experience, and expresses that by having blood, water, and milk spill onto the stage floor. Though for all this connective tissue to the anxieties of the present day, its poetic visual language doesn't expand far past the realm of homage to theatre artists who came before.

BWW Review: LES MISERABLES at Rochester Broadway Theatre League
Les Miserables has been an audience favorite for nearly 40 years for all the reasons you would imagine: its memorable, emotionally impactful characters; the songs that stick in your head; the epic battle sequences; and its timeless themes of forgiveness, morality, and love. The touring production currently playing at Rochester's Auditorium Theatre checks all of these boxes, providing a unique and emotional theatrical experience for audiences of all ages (as evidenced by the many school groups in attendance on opening night).
