Latest Santa Barbara Reviews


Review: LA TRAVIATA, Royal Ballet And Opera


by Clementine Scott - January 09, 2026

Opera as a whole may be too reliant on museum pieces, on endless identikit revivals designed to secure bums on seats. But in the case of Richard Eyre’s 1994 La traviata, the old adage might be true: if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it....

Review: DISNEY'S BEAUTY AND THE BEAST at Broadway At The Hobby Center


by Brett Cullum - January 08, 2026

The current BEAUTY AND THE BEAST tour is a celebration of the Broadway musical’s 30th anniversary, and a chance for director and choreographer Matt West and book writer Linda Woolverton to revisit a stage version they have been working on since it all began in Houston during 1993....

Review: A GHOST IN YOUR EAR, Hampstead Theatre


by Katie Kirkpatrick - January 09, 2026

Walking down an ominous red-lit corridor and being asked to put on over-ear headphones isn’t your typical start to a night at the theatre – but then A Ghost in Your Ear isn’t your typical play. Jamie Armitage’s second show as both writer and director (after last year’s An Interrogation) is a true ho...

Review: THE WIZ at Broadway In Tucson


by Zach Wetzel - January 08, 2026

THE WIZ at Broadway in Tucson is a delightful and extraordinary revival that will have audience members clicking their heels but not wanting to go home. THE WIZ, which plays until January 11, is perfect for the whole family and is my favorite interpretation of 'The Wizard of Oz' story....

Review: MADISON RAPS ABOUT HAMILTON at The Overture Center


by Scott Rawson - January 08, 2026

Review: SCOTTISH BALLET'S THE SNOW QUEEN, Theatre Royal

Along the way, you’ll meet a sparkling cast of characters, from young lovers parted by a spell to a circ...

Review: ORPHANS, Jermyn Street Theatre


by Clementine Scott - January 08, 2026

Lyle Kessler’s Orphans was first performed in 1983, but you wouldn’t know that from this production. The tiny stage feels overcome by Sarah Beaton’s design, retro but not too retro, a space immune to the passing decades....
