Review: MEDEA ON THE MIC, Oran Mor
UK / West End: Natalie O'Donoghue on June 11, 2024

Join everyone’s favourite princess-sorceress for one hell of a good time as she shares stories of when she was Scottish and swaggered into the wonderlands of Berlin, Tehran and New York. Other guests on the mic include her bitter ex Jason (of the Argonauts) and old pal the Chariot Queen.

Review: SPRING AWAKENING at Rise Above Performing Arts

Exploring themes of attraction, desire, insecurity, and the rollercoaster of young adult life, this electrifying show is a must-see for anyone looking to relive the highs and lows of growing up. So, buckle up, grab your teenage angst, and get ready for a journey you won't soon forget!

Review: Harmonie del Sur's BLOWING WIND: THE ORIGINAL NOISEMAKERS at the Tampa Fringe Festival
Tampa/St. Petersburg: Peter Nason on June 11, 2024

The Tampa Fringe Festival is like a Smorgasbord of the Arts; so many great works to choose from, some small, some large, some cool, some wacky. You get over a week to fill your plate with all of these unforgettable, mostly yummy works.  If you’re lucky enough to get into the wild SMUTTY BURLESQUE NERD: VULVA VA-VOOMS SHIP OF THESEUS or the memorable CAPTAIN HAVOC & THE BIG-TITTY BOG WITCHES, then you will be talking about it for days.  But what about the smaller shows, the ones that don’t have the words “vulva” or “titty” in their titles?

Review: A DOLL'S HOUSE: PART II at Beck Center
Cleveland: Roy Berko on June 11, 2024

Western culture was struck by numerous changes in the late twentieth century.  Many monarchs fell, Socialism, Communism and Democracy made in-roads, the social sciences developed the concepts of psychology and sociology, the industrial revolution changed manufacturing, and the way the middle class would live was drastically altered. 

Review: High-Powered Garland Tribute NIGHT OF A THOUSAND JUDYS at Joe's Pub
Cabaret: Rob Lester on June 11, 2024

The 12th annual NIGHT OF A THOUSAND JUDYS at Joe's Pub had no shortage of pow to wow its eager audience. The annual event drew a big crowd and money for the Ali Forney Center, a non-profit benefitting homeless LGBTQ+ youth. The June 3rd show turned on the energy to the max.

Review: KATHY AND STELLA SOLVE A MURDER!, Ambassador's Theatre
UK / West End: Alice Cope on June 11, 2024

A delightful comedy murder mystery musical that expertly blends humour, intrigue, and heartfelt friendship.

Review: CIRQUE: THE GREATEST SHOW, Leicester Curve
UK / West End: Franco Milazzo on June 11, 2024

With its live singers, superb clowning and disappointing vaudeville acts, The Entertainers’ Cirque: The Greatest Show is bringing its dazzling show around the country.

Review: THE RABBIT QUEEN at The Broadwater MainStage
Los Angeles: Tracey Paleo on June 10, 2024

Did I mention that this all takes place in 1726? No? Well, if it weren’t for the popinjays, you would initially think this is a medieval morality play. 

Review: JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT at Seacoast Repertory Theatre
New Hampshire: Dan Marois on June 10, 2024

What did our critic think of JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT at Seacoast Repertory Theatre?

Review: DIAL M FOR MURDER Is A Blast At The Alley Theatre
Houston: Brett Cullum on June 10, 2024

The audience I saw DIAL M FOR MURDER with roared to their feet after all was said and done. This is a charming production with plenty of technical eye candy and sublime campy takes on characters. These kinds of shows fit what THE ALLEY THEATRE does best: entertain and thrill us with a summer mystery. Everyone is set to have a marvelously good time.

Review: Central Square Theater and Front Porch Arts Collective's NEXT TO NORMAL is Heart-Rending and Hopeful
Boston: R. Scott Reedy on June 10, 2024

What did our critic think of NEXT TO NORMAL at Central Square Theater?

Review: ROSE: YOU ARE WHO YOU EAT at Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company
Washington, DC: David Friscic on June 10, 2024

Rose: You Are Who You Eat is an irreverent (yet, concurrently, affectionate) look at a performer/cabaret artist’s autobiographical impulse and gender identity questions/affirmations set against the metaphor of cannibalism as a “who gets devoured?”/”feasting/ingestion”  metaphor ---that plays into “double entendres” on family, the role of the mother and the individual evolving in the womb. This extremely quixotic and subversive play by ultra-creative performer and writer John Jarboe celebrates queerness while “riffing -off” on themes of memory, trying to connect to identity and breaking through dissonance into a celebration of the autonomous self.

Review: FALSETTOS PROVES TO BE VERY SOBERING at STAGEWORKS THEATRE
Tampa/St. Petersburg: Drew Eberhard on June 10, 2024

Falsettos, a primarily sung-through musical was written by William Finn and James Lapine and features two one-act installments March of the Falsettos and Falsettoland. The aforementioned are the last two additions to a trio of one-act musicals by Finn and Lapine, the other being called In Trousers.

Review: Disney's Enchanting THE LITTLE MERMAID Swims Back to the La Mirada Theatre
Los Angeles: Michael Quintos on June 10, 2024

Filled with colorful costumes and sets and soaring mermaids, this spectacular show will enchant both new and repeat audiences alike.

Review: PORGY AND BESS at Music Theater Heritage
Kansas City: Alan Portner on June 10, 2024

Now playing in the Grand Theater at Crown Center is Music Theater Heritage’s production of Gershwin’s “PORGY AND BESS.”  This is an example of MTH going “all in” on a very challenging show and producing an extremely credible final product. 

Interview: Italian Performer, Giorgia Picano: Dancing with A Purpose
Argentina: Felicitas de la Fare on June 10, 2024

Giorgia Picano, an Italian dancer and choreographer from Formia (a small city between Rome and Naples), is much more than a performer; she is a messenger who uses her art to convey powerful, world-changing messages. Known for her exceptional talent as a lead dancer and solo performer, Giorgia has enchanted audiences globally with her expressive performances. Her journey from Italy to the heart of New York’s vibrant dance scene exemplifies her dedication to her craft and her mission to promote multiculturalism, environmental awareness, and global unity through the arts.

Review: BEING ALIVE: A SONDHEIM CELEBRATION at TheatreWorks Silicon Valley
San Francisco / Bay Area: Steve Murray on June 10, 2024

Let the tributes begin, and there will be many. The enduring legacy of Stephen Sondheim’s music is ours forever and his works ensure he’s one of Broadway’s greatest composers. He is Theatreworks’ most produced composer and Founding Artistic Director Robert Kelly collaborates with Resident Musical Director William Liberatore to celebrate the joyous and complicated human relationships prevalent throughout Sondheim’s musicals and plays.

Review: ANYTHING GOES at TexArts
Austin: Sabrina Wallace on June 10, 2024

TexArts production of Anything Goes sails onto the stage with all the exuberance and charm of a luxury cruise liner, delivering a whirlwind of romance, comedy, and toe-tapping tunes #MusicalTheatre #BroadwayWorld

PAROKYA NI EDGAR Musical Plays Last Two Weeks at Newport Performing Arts Theatre
Philippines: Oliver Oliveros on June 10, 2024

How can Newport World Resorts top its biggest original Pinoy musical hit, ''Ang Huling El Bimbo'? Work around the music catalog of another beloved OPM band, Parokya ni Edgar.

Review: GREASE AT CASA MANANA Ft. Worth TX
Dallas: Pati Buehler on June 10, 2024

I will be the first to admit that I am NOT a big fan of this show, so BOO! HISS! if you like...BUT I will admit this cast has SO much fun and energy and talent. I won't argue with a cheering SOLD OUT Show.
