Wicked the Musical
I have been lucky and honored to see Wicked the Musical twice. I saw the 1st National Tour and the 2nd National tour, which gave me the fortune of seeing different actors.
After seeing Wicked the 2nd National Tour in Feb of 2011 at Pope Joy Hall in Albuquerque, …
The Paramount HD from the Met Series
The Paramount Theatre is an old theatre that was recently restored, thanks to many generous donations of local Charlottesvillians. The theatre is beautiful with beautiful frescos on some of the walls and a lovely green and gold motif. The seating makes for easy viewing, and the acoustics are …
The Merry Wives of Windsor by William Shakespeare
This current production of Shakespeare’s “Merry Wives of Windsor” ad the Oregon Shakespeare festival is one of the best I’ve seen. I’ve seen several productions in the past and have enjoyed them all, but this was special because of G. Valmont Thomas as Sir John Falstaff, Knight.
This play was …
Springfield, MO Palace Theater
I have been going to the Palace Theater for 15 years and taking my own children for 10 years. I love this theater because it seems to care more about the customer than making a quick buck. The ticket price has risen once since I …
The Abbeville Opera House, Abbeville, SC
Smiling faces beautiful places. This is the motto of the state of South Carolina to the case of the Abbeville Opera House this couldn’t be more true. You’re instantly greeted with architecture fit for a European theater. What exactly does this entail? By this I mean you see you …
Shen Yun Performing Arts
The Shen Yun Performing Arts show is a series of Chinese dances and performances, strung together with a common theme: “Falun Dafa is Good”.
Before I begin, I think it is only fair that readers know I was not keen on going to see a Chinese drama/ballet. …
Backstage Theatre,Breckenridge,Colorado
I spent most of my life in New York City and nine years in Boston, so I’m familiar with great theater. When I moved to Summit County Colorado, I did not expect to find it here. Boy was I surprised when I saw my first play at the Backstage …
Pipeline Theatre Company’s “Psycho Beach Party”
had the great honor and privilege of seeing this production of “Psycho Beach Party.” I’m a huge fan of the playwright, Charles Busch, who is an icon and a legend in the downtown theater scene, renowned and infamous for his themes of homosexuality, transexuality, and drag. …
Kirov Ballet
Russian dancers are the best in the world, and the Kirov Ballet from the Marinski Theater in St. Petersburg and the Bolshoi Ballet in Moscow are the best ballet companies in the world. The Bolshoi’s style is more athletic, masculine, and vigorous; they are at their best in …
Swan Lake performed by the Kirov Ballet
My family and I went to see the newest ballet at the Auditorium theatre this weekend. The Kirov Ballet and Orchestra was putting on their famous Swan Lake. I dont know why they waited so long to bring this to Chicago. It was the best ballet I …

I have been going to the Regency theater since I was a little child and it has always been such a great time going but I had since then moved away. I had came back to town to visit friends and family and decided to go to the Regency …
Carmike Movie Seven Knoxville, TN
Last Saturday I took my family to the movies in Knoxville, TN. We went to the Carmike Movie Seven Theater at Windsor Square. This is sort of a second run theater, that is to say the movies have already run a couple weeks in the regular theaters but typically …

Billy Elliot at the Oriental Theatre in Chicago
I attended a wonderful production of Billy Elliot at the Oriental Theatre in Chicago on Sunday, March 21 at 7:30 pm. I went into the show not knowing a thing about the story line or anything, and I was very pleasantly surprised. I definitely did not expect to love …
Pirates of Penzance by Seattle G&S
I love the Gilbert & Sullivan operettas. That’s not something people normally admit in polite company, but it’s true. If there were a 12 step program for G&S (that’s what those of us in the know call Gilbert and Sullivan), I’d be eligible to attend, but I wouldn’t. I …
Lyric Opera House Baltimore MD
The first time that I went to a show at the Lyric Opera House, in Baltimore MD I was around 18 years old and was so excited that I forgot my glasses at home. My girlfriend and I shared her’s so that I could see the actors on …
Greater Union Cinemas in Miranda Sydney
The Greater Union Cinemas in Miranda, Sydney has a great location inside the building of Westfields Miranda and it is also a very short walk from the Miranda train station so access is easy.
It has a great atmosphere to the place when you get down there, a lot of …
Wicked the Musical
While I have been to quite a few musicals my favourite one to date has been Wicked. I’m sure that it helps that I’m already an enthusiast for all things “Wizard of Oz”, but this musical has all of the ingredients for a successful broadway show.
I saw Wicked …
AMC Livonia 20
We went to Livonia this morning to see a movie at AMC Livonia 20. The movie is not playing where I live. It’s an hour and eight minutes to get there. It was our first time to go to Livonia, so we really have no idea where …
Federal Building Bellingham Washington
In the Federal Building on Magnolia Street here in Bellingham, Washington is a little know, little used courtroom. I love it. It’s beautiful. In this day when many courthouses are being replaced by modern courtrooms full of video equipment and computers, this one stands out. The courtroom is made …
Nickle and Dimed by Joan Holden
Joan Holden’s theatrical adaptation of Nickled and Dimed is the freshest, most innovative and most thought-provoking performance I have ever seen. Period. When it ran in Cleveland, Ohio a few years ago, it continually sold out and kept being extended due to popular demand. I was …
Walnut Street Theater Philadelphia
I just visited the Walnut Street Theater for the first time today to see Les Miserables. The show was fantastic, so if you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend seeing it at some point. As for the theater,it was slightly smaller than I had expected, but it was a …
West Side Story, at The National Theater, Washington, D.C.
I’m not the biggest fan of musicals, but the 50th anniversary return of West Side Story to the theater of its premier in 1957, directed by the man who originally wrote the book for it, seemed a cultural Event Not To Miss. My wife had never seen it …
The Alexandra Theatre (Birmingham)
Last week I made a flying trip to Birmingham as my friend won some tickets to see the new Milkshake! Live show which has been specially developed for toddlers and young children, the show features some of my granddaughter’s favourite characters so I decided to take her along and …
Broadway Palm Dinner Theatre in Mesa, AZ
I took my children for the first time to Broadway Dinner Theater about 14 years ago. We have returned every single year since then. We usually go to see a couple of their Christmas productions. We usually see the adult selection they have during the holiday and also see …
RENT The Broadway Tour
When I heard that RENT was closing its run on Broadway in August of 2008, I was devastated. I never had a chance to see it in New York, but I was a big fan of the soundtrack and the 2005 movie adaption. I soon discovered that RENT would …
“Oleanna” by David Mamet
I am passionate about Drama so when I was a drama student and found a passionate monologue from “Oleanna” by David Mamet, I fell in love with it. Honestly, though, it was not easy to interpret the monologue because I had never read the full play so recently …
Regal Cinemas
I have been to two different Regal Cinemas. One of them resides in the mall that is about twenty minutes away from my house and the other resides in Queens, New York. The one that I have gone to the most is the one that is closest to my …
Lyric Opera in Chicago, IL
I have been to Lyric Opera of Chicago twice. The first was for L’Elisir d’Amore, or The Elixir of Love, in March of 2010. The second was for Carmen in March of 2011. The Lyric Opera is a very prestigious opera house, and for good reason. I thought both …
Mystere by Cirque Du Soleil
My husband and I took my daughter to Cirque Du Soleil’s Mystere for her birthday and had a great time! We chose to see Mystere because it seemed like it would be the most kid friendly as it is a very whimsical performance. There was no real …

Avenue Q
This show is absolutely hilarious! Of course, that is the appeal, it’s a musical comedy. It’s probably one of the funniest, if not THE funniest musical comedy I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen some good ones!
The soundtrack itself is great. With song titles such as “The Internet is for …
Timberlake Playhouse
I am reviewing the Timberlake Playhouse Theatre, located in Mt. Carroll, IL. First, the location is marvelous! This place is entirely secluded, back in the woods of Mt. Carroll, IL. Next to the playhouse is a resort for people to stay if desired, in addition to a dining facility. …
Star Theater
If you live in the Dearborn area and you are bored, you will be glad to know that a Star Theater is nearby. It is conveniently located steps away from the Fairlane Town Center, the Hyatt hotel and lots of really great restaurant around. So before or after watching …
Screenville Cinema
It is absolutely the hottest place in the city if we talk about movies. For me, Screenville Cinema is the place to relax and unwind.
It may not be largest movie house in the Tagbilaran City but I surely believe that is …
American Idiot The Musical
Overview —“ American Idiot The Musical is a musical production that showed at The Berkeley Rep Theater which was primarily based off of the songs from Green Day’s album, American Idiot. Along with all of the tracks from the rock opera, American Idiot, the musical also included a few …
Rogers Cinema
I don’t normally go to the movie theater here in town. But, this past weekend was our anniversary and I didn’t want to just take my wife to dinner and be home by 7. So, we decided to splurge a bit and I took her to see a movie …
UltraStar Cinemas
I work at Ultra-Star cinemas in Poway, California and for that reason I know that this theater is a very reliable place. I have only worked here for a matter of 4 months but I have seen all of the hard work and time put into this place. It …
Next to Normal on Broadway
I should preface this review by stating that over the years, I’ve seen over 100 shows on and off Broadway. I’m a huge theatre fan, loving everything from the classics to the little known shows. I’ve seen my fair share of wonderful productions and complete embarrassments. I’ve also been …
The Mouse Trap play, London
When I opened the surprise present my husband had excitedly produced on my birthday, my heart sank - tickets for the whole family to see The Mouse Trap at London’s St Martins Theatre. I am not a great lover of Agatha Christie and the thought of having to sit …
Romeo and Juliette: the Musical
Romeo and Juliette, being performed by a traveling production from France - must be a good performance, or so I thought. The lights were questionable, the costumes were down-right ridiculous, the acting left much to be imagined, and the classic part of the Shakespearean romance was left to the …
Mountain Dew Soda
To be honest, Mountain Dew Soda is not my style. I’ve tried it, and I don’t like it. It has an odd citrus flavor that is terribly unappealing, and it looks like something I can’t write about. There’s nothing I like about Mountain Dew Soda, except …
Taipei Eye (traditional Chinese theater)
Some cities have tourist spots named cityname-eye such as Singapore-eye, London-eye, Tokyo-eye, etc. All of them concern with vertical giant wheels equipped with seats with which people can experience seeing the view from the height. But Taipei-eye is different. It is a place where you can enjoy traditional Chinese theater.
The …
Breakups and Breakdowns (Musical)
A few weeks ago, I watched Breakups and Breakdowns which is a musical directed and written by Joel Trinidad, which is one of the four characters in the story as well. The show was held at the Teatrino in Greenhills Promenade Mall and a ticket costs P950 each. …
Tall Grass
“Tall grass” is performed by three artists, Jim Ballard, Reiss Gaspard and Stacy Schwartz. The actors are really good, they are full of energy and perform to evoke a vivid impression of their characters. The first play is about an executive world couple who cannot see eye to eye, …
Kerasotes Theate rin Skokie
Village Corssing 18 in Skokie is one of my favorite movie theaters. While there might not be anything realy great about it that is different from other theaters, the most important thing is that you can always get to a movie on a day of its release or a …
Dixie Stampede - Dinner Theatre
This was one of the highlights from our last beach trip. My husband and I had a blast at the Dixie Stampede in Myrtle Beach SC. It is family friendly so bring the kids. There is something for every age group to enjoy!
