Broadway Show Reviews & Critics' Ratings

Tennessee Williams Theatre Company’s CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF, now playing at the Marquette Theatre in New Orleans, does exactly that. It’s electric. It’s guttural. And it’s one of the boldest things I’ve seen TWTC do, and that’s saying something.

CVRep is on fire this summer with a terrific line up of Broadway stars gracing their stage in the form of entertainment our valley is becoming known for: cabaret. 

The best-selling book series in history, which in turn became one of the highest-grossing franchises of filmdom would naturally spawn a big Broadway hit, the nationally touring version of which is playing D.C. at the National Theatre after four months each in Chicago and Los Angeles. 

Andrew Lloyd Webber's phenomenon is touring through Europe and making a stop in the beautiful Landestheater Linz.

From psychological thrillers to science fiction to comedy to drama, Fringe has something for everyone!

It is Fringe Season for Harrisburg again! This is the time of year where you can see so many kinds of unique and beautiful shows such as films, theater, music, improv and so much more. All this beautiful and amazing art can be seen in the beautiful city of Harrisburg! 

Penguin Rep Theatre, now in its 48th season, continues its tradition of intimate, compelling storytelling with the powerful world premiere, Son of Zeus. A one-man tour-de-force written and performed by Jimmy Georgiades.

Liberace & Liza: Pier Pressure (A Tribute), which rolls back into Feinstein’s for a return engagement, is one of the finest acts of this genre, featuring two extraordinary performers combining their talents to bring Liberace and Liza Minelli to life.

Ottawa Little Theatre is continuing its trend of summer comedies with Always a Bridesmaid by Jessie Jones, Nicolas Hope, and James Wooten.

Poor Clare, written by Chiara Atik and directed by Blanche McIntyre, tells the story of how Clare (Arsema Thomas) is influenced by fellow Assisi resident Francis (Freddy Carter) to abandon her life of riches and become devoted to God, founding the Order of Poor Ladies as a discipline of the soon-to-be Saint Francis. The play opens with Clare getting her hair done in a complicated style by two of her servants, Peppa (Liz Kettle) and Alma (Jacoba Williams), discussing the concept of poverty and what can be done about it. 

What did our critic think of SING STREET at Lyric Hammersmith Theatre?

So, finally, Elvis Evolution has entered the building. 

As classical performance continues to wrestle with relevance, accessibility and representation, the Proms are under pressure to lead this change. This opening night offered progress in places, but also showed how much further there is to go.

Adapted from Shakespeare’s The Merry Wives of Windsor, director Richard Jones’s glorious Falstaff makes a welcome return to Glyndebourne, losing none of its charm or deft comedy. It is playful, witty and a pure delight.

What did our critic think of ROMEO AND JULIET at Canadian Stage?The romantic tragedy and big emotions of Shakespeare’s famous tale of star-crossed lovers are difficult to successfully present in an age of irony. This is especially true in outdoor summer theatre, where the atmosphere lends itself more to a fun romp than heartbreak. But a tale of intractable families who nurture their hatred over everything else should feel sadly immediate regardless of where it’s performed.

“Side Effects” is at heart a cautionary tale about what happens when we rely too much on the judgment of others, when professional knowledge pales in the face of simple human understanding.   Loomer takes us on a whirlwind tour of therapists, nurses, and others, all of them ably embodied by a company of talented shape-shifters who play a succession of nurses, therapists, friends and family. 

“Magdalene” is likely a play that will see numerous productions, given the times and the need for religious communities to break bread and try, in some way, to understand each other.  You should definitely take time out this July to see this remarkable reflection on two of Christianity’s most pivotal figures.

There's something for everyone at the 2025 Harrisburg Fringe Festival. Visit hbgfringe.com for information on how to join in the fun! Do something weird!

Offerings of the musical theater cover a vast array of topics.  There is the tale of the young prince who wants to find his “Corner of the sky” (PIPPIN), the flower girl who wants to be a lady (MY FAIR LADY), and the dairy man who has a life ruled by tradition (FIDDLER ON THE ROOF).

Based on Agatha Christie’s novel The Mirror Crack’d from Side to Side, this stage adaptation by Rachel Wagstaff, and directed by Delicia Turner Sonnenberg, brings a wave of Hollywood drama to the sleepy English village of St. Mary Mead.
