The 8th Digital Press Highlight Award (Prêmio Destaque Imprensa Digital – DID), the only award in Brazil dedicated exclusively to musical theatre, will celebrate the best of São Paulo’s 2024–2025 season on December 9 at the Teatro Liberdade. Among the 36 eligible shows, the top nominees include Mean Girls – The Musical (12), Torto Arado – The Musical (10), João (9), and Dreamgirls and Mrs. Doubtfire – The Musical (8). A panel of 12 journalists and digital media critics will select winners across 17 categories, while audiences can vote online for the Audience Choice Award. More than just a competition, the DID has become a celebration of Brazil’s vibrant musical theatre scene — closing the year with brilliance, humor, and emotion, and reaffirming the stage as a place of passion, creativity, and community.

Review: DEAR EVAN HANSEN at Pioneer Theatre Company is Arrestingly Layered

Pioneer Theatre Company’s professional production of DEAR EVAN HANSEN could easily be at home on a Broadway stage, and it is certainly one of Utah’s best shows this year. The original production is rightfully beloved, but this iteration adds even more layers, brilliantly flitting between realism and theatricality in arresting ways.

Review: THE MOUSETRAP at Berkshire Theatre Group
by Marc Savitt
- Jul 28, 2025
In the vernacular of the production, everything about it is quite satisfactory. Solid performances, handsome and functional staging, etc. It is all quite lovely. This production overall, however, fails to breakthrough. Christie’s script and characters are, as many of her works multifaceted and deliciously intertwined. As we get to know more about each of them over the course of the just short of two and a half hours (with one 15-minute intermission) information that makes all potential suspects much in the way the popular 1974 film Murder On The Orient Express did. This production is flat and rather two dimensional. Although the audience laughed in all the right places, we were never really drawn in. We watched the action play out before us, but the multitude of wait-what, and a-ha moments seemed to fall short not crossing the proscenium to connect with the audience members in the way they should. I will say that for me personally, , Matt Sullivan’s performance as Mr. Paravicini achieved the level of mysterious particularly well.
