Dallas Review: Millennial Poison Theatre Company Presents “Constellations”
Millennial Poison Theatre Company’s production of “Constellations” delivers a supremely intimate, unique and engaging performance. Together, cast and crew unlock access to a powerful, visceral experience which is as thought-provoking as it is captivatingly entertaining.
Montreal Review: 'Little Dickens' at The Centaur Theatre
Burkett kept wiping his forehead and brow as the nearly two-hour show is quite a workout for him. But I was in awe of his formidable stamina …
Toronto Review: 'Between Breaths' at Factory Theatre
When a play took my breath away and gave me goosebumps mere minutes into the opening night performance, I knew I was in for something special.
Off-Broadway Review: “The Underlying Chris” at Second Stage Theater’s Tony Kiser Theater
The characters continue to cascade through the decades – all suffering from those initial injuries of twisting the wrong way (an event not to be taken literally) and becoming fatherless (one of many tragedies that “stifle” growth).
Off-Broadway Review: “Einstein’s Dreams” at 59E59 Theaters
There is no denying that a retrospect on of the life of Albert Einstein and the development of his renowned Theory of Relativity would be compelling and extremely interesting. To present this study in the form of musical theatre is a challenging and difficult task that requires a keen intellectual and creative perspective.
Toronto Review: 'Copy That' Tarragon Theatre Premiere
At times, the banter is funny as hell. It’s also harshly visceral which made me cringe and reminded me of similar word play dialogue in David Mamet’s ‘Glengarry Glen Ross’. I found some of the twists Mr. Sherman’s script took were a tad jarring at times, but they did make sense as the plot progressed further.
Toronto Review: "The Unconventional Holiday Revue" at Second City
“Burgeoning into ‘the ribald’ with a dash of ‘the raunchy’, ‘The Unconventional Holiday Revue’ cast gifts us some unconventional holiday fun ranging from Justin Trudeau’s brown face to Don Cherry’s infamous ‘you people’ which still baffles me why there is this continued interpretation on social media sites.”
Off-Broadway Review: “One Discordant Violin” at 59E59 Theaters
As a whole, “One Discordant Violin” satisfies the theatergoer’s palate with an enchanting story that rings true, is compellingly relatable, and plucks the strings of the heart with cosmic vibrations.
West Coast Review - "Key Largo" at the Geffen Playhouse
Andy Garcia is the “King of Kings” in the Geffen Playhouse adaptation of KEY LARGO based on the play by Maxwell Anderson and the Warner Bros. Film.
Off-Broadway Review: “Fear” at the Lucille Lortel Theatre
All three actors are admirable and do what they can with the material but the characters and set of circumstances are shallow and implausible.
Dallas Review: Lyric Stage Presents “Mirette”
“Lyric Stage continued its robust season celebrating the power and presence of women with a charming production of “Mirette.” Together, cast and crew delivered a vibrant, crowd-pleasing, show well complemented by the grandeur of the historic Majestic Theatre in downtown Dallas.”
Toronto Review - 'The Adventures of Pinocchio' at Young People's Theatre
“What a joy to see a show specifically geared to children and their families. And what a gift to give yourselves and your families this Christmas/holiday season.”
Toronto Review - 'Another Brick in the Wall: The Opera' at Meridian Hall
“And what of this Toronto premiere production? For me, it was hit and miss. I so desperately wanted to feel a thorough connection for the two hours, but I didn’t.”
Off-Broadway Review: Ars Nova’s “Dr. Ride’s American Beach House” at Greenwich House
“Dr. Ride’s American Beach House” does not rise to an epic tale of “queer anti-heroes” forging a pathway to self-acceptance and claiming true power and control. Under Katie Brook’s direction, the cast does what it can to authenticate their character’s conflicts despite the weakness of Liza Birkenmeier’s script.
New York Review: "Back To The Garden" at Axial Theatre/GoJo Productions
“This provocative play certainly gives one lots of food for thought, even if you don’t bite the apple. The witty dialogue and modern quips will keep you entertained, and you’ll learn a thing or two about what God is thinking.”
CT Review: "A Shayna Maidel" at Playhouse on Park
‘“A Shayna Maidel” is a remarkably smart and sensitive play, with beautiful performances and a highlight of the season.”
New York Review: “Broken Story” at the Gene Frankel Theatre
‘“Broken Story” has many interesting aspects and is decently acted aside from a few over the top moments here and there, but it feels, much like the murder at the beginning of the story, unfinished. I hope that this story is explored further and I look forward to seeing it develop even more.”
London, Ontario Review: "The Runner" at the Grand Theatre
“This is not the whimsical song of rose-cheeked von Trapp children skipping over mountains escaping Nazis. Christopher Morris and Daniel Brooks’ project is a harsh and blinding invasion of hypocrisy – the audience is not meant to be comforted.”
Dallas Review: “Side Show” at the Firehouse Theatre
“Firehouse Theatre’s production of “Side Show” crafts an evocative and uniquely-immersive theatrical experience for audiences. Under the direction of Linda Leonard, the talented cast aptly explores this heart-wrenching tale of love and deceit inspired by the true-life story of conjoined twin performers, Violet and Daisy Hilton.”
Broadway Review: “The Sound Inside” at Studio 54
Adam Rapp explores and mines the “shadow lands of the inner psyche” in “The Sound Inside” leaving those who watch and listen scores (think music) of rich and enduring questions about “time and space, the distant past, and the infinite future” and suggests, perhaps, the journey might be accomplished with redemption and release “on the other side.”
