by Natalia Jarczynska - October 31, 2024


And this one is no exception. If I had to point out any weak spots, well, this review would end right here because, honestly, there aren’t any. Instead, let me take you into the sea of brilliance that director Jacek Mikolajczyk has pulled us into.

Review: CHICAGO at Krakowski Teatr VARIETE
by Natalia Jarczynska - October 28, 2024


I have nothing to hide: I'm obsessed with Broadway’s Chicago. Everything: the music, choreographies by Bob Fosse, costumes, and the general vibe. Everything screams: greatness.

Review: ROMEO AND JULIET at Capitol Musical Theatre, Wroclaw
by Natalia Jarczynska - October 02, 2024


I would be brief for this text as I’m still processing this show. It was a mixture of contradictions that was made to impress. It was a mixture of contradictions that aimed to impress. I was impressed and in a way obsessed by certain points.

PREZENT URODZINOWY Comes to Teatr Capitol Warsaw
by Stephi Wild - September 17, 2024


Uważaj, o czym zamarzysz, nim zdmuchniesz świeczkę urodzinową! Ta obłędnie śmieszna komedia niezaplanowanych sytuacji, mogłaby zdarzyć się  naprawdę, gdy fantazja zaczyna wodzić bohaterów na pokuszenie lub… wodzić ich za nos, ku uciesze wkręconego w tę szałową drakę Widza.

Review: TAP DANCE IN MODERN EUROPE
by Natalia Jarczynska - September 08, 2024


It’s either an activity associated with an image of an old granny, an old school activity like in France, connected with Irish routs like in the UK or Ireland. There is also a third possibility, a young, vibrant, bringing together people from different backgrounds with a fresh but great respect for tradition.

PRZYJAZNE DUSZE Comes to Teatr Capitol Warszawa This Week
by Stephi Wild - August 20, 2024

LOZKO PEŁNE CUDZOZIEMCOW Comes to Teatr Capitol Warsaw
by Stephi Wild - August 08, 2024


Ciemny, obskurny hotel położony na francusko-niemieckiej granicy, czasy świetności ma dawno za sobą i już nie wszystko w nim działa sehr gut! Cieknący kaloryfer, rozpadający rezerwuar, tajemniczo zatapetowane drzwi…  

Review: ECCENTRICS at The Kujawsko-Pomorski Music Theatre, Torun
by Natalia Jarczynska - July 18, 2024


It all starts with an old-fashioned welcome drink. I mean real old school, from 70 years ago. Vodka, lard spread on bread, and fermented cucumber in a vintage bar with all the newspapers and old songs performed. You're starting to get in the mood!

Review: ORPHEUS IN HELL at The Castle Opera In Szczecin
by Natalia Jarczynska - July 08, 2024


A comic opera with music by Jacques Offenbach, directed by J.J. Polonski, the master of the Polish magical music scene (look at The Beaty and The Beast or Pippin!), which brings the opera feerie into a modern version. Laughter, wild metaphors, fabulous costumes, and a sprinkle of fairy tale magic are mixed like a smoothie made by a unicorn on a sugar high.

KIEDY KOTA NIE MA Comes to Teatr Capitol Warsaw
by BWW News Desk - July 08, 2024


„Kiedy kota nie ma…” istnieje szansa, że pojawi się w najmniej oczekiwanym momencie! A wtedy bieg komicznych wydarzeń w tej znakomitej brytyjskiej komedii sytuacyjnej, może nabrać zawrotnego tempa, a rozbawienie Widzów całkowicie wymknąć się spod kontroli. Podróż poślubna do Saint Tropez? Tak! Ale w dwudziestą rocznicę ślubu ??? Jak poradzą sobie z wzajemnymi uszczypliwościami dwa zabawne angielskie małżeństwa z 20-letnim stażem?

Review: IT'S A BIRTHDAY! at Capitol Musical Theatre, Wroclaw
by Natalia Jarczynska - July 08, 2024


As summer has already hit us with heat and steam, we all think about the holidays as the school year ends. There are some goodbyes, some tears, and waving bye-bye. There are also some summaries, and I was honored to witness the 15th birthday of a musical school designed with passion, kindness, and what we love the most: THE MUSICALS!

Review: The Elements 2 Evening Of Choreography
by Natalia Jarczynska - July 08, 2024


I love watching dance in all possible forms and I think we don't get enough of it in Polish scenes, so when the opportunity to see dance in pure form presented itself, I couldn't resist and I never have enough!

O CO BIEGA? Comes to Teatr Capitol Warsaw This Month
by BWW News Desk - July 01, 2024


„O co biega?“ to jedna z najzabawniejszych światowych fars autorstwa Philipa Kinga. Pełna zaskakujących zwrotów akcji historia, z minuty na minutę, choć wydaje się to już niemożliwe, staje się jeszcze śmieszniejsza. Do samego końca nie wiadomo, kto jeszcze pojawi się nagle w drzwiach lub niespodziewanie wyskoczy z szafy!
