Theatre Reviews
Civic Center Music Hall, Thelma E. Gaylord Performing Arts Theatre
I recently attended the Lion King theater production at the Civic Center Music Hall. Overall, I was pleased with the experience I had. There was ample parking outside of the building, and the ground-floor entrance was well-lit with a handicapped access ramp. Once inside, I found the Civic Center …
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 …
AMC Forum Sterling Heights MI
Let’s start off by saying I love taking my son to the movies. He loves it, I love it, we are a happy family. The only problem is that I have a hard time sitting in the seats long enough to enjoy the movies, I hate hearing …
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 …
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 …
Wicked (spoiler possible)
Oh my. If you love The Wizard of Oz, or just want a good night out, go see Wicked !! It is one of the most amazing musicals I’ve been too. Even men should love it. It opens with Glenda coming down on her ‘bubble’ and then tells the …
Angels enjoy “Wicked!”
The play ‘Wicked’ is a brilliant masterpiece (directed by Joe Mantello) that will surely sweep the next generation of cultured Americans off their feet!
The play takes place in the lionized City of OZ! It’s about the lives of the characters of the Emerald City before Dorthy “dropped in.”
It tells …
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 …

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 …
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 …
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 …
Blue Collar Comedy Tour “Rides Again”
Blue Collar Comedy Tour “Rides Again” is a laugh-out-loud stand-up comedy show starring Jeff Foxworthy, Larry the Cable Guy, Bill Engvall, and Ron White. I laughed from the beginning of the opening act to the end of the closing act. Jeff Foxworthy spins a funny tale about his life …

The Blue Man Group At The Venetian Las Vegas
I had the pleasure this summer of watching the stage production of the Blue Man Group in Las Vegas. Because of a casino comp, I was able to get tickets in the poncho section for the price of seats in the back of the house. That meant …
The Picture Show at Merchant’s Walk
When the regular-run movie theaters near where we live began to raise their prises, and it was suddenly costing us $15 or more for the two of us to go to a matinee, we started looking for a discount movie theater. We found The Picture Show at Merchant’s Walk, …

Mission Valley cinema Raleigh NC
Mission Valley cinema gets all the great blockbuster movies, and is located just a short walk from NC States campus.

Cirque du Soleil’s La Nouba in Downtown Disney, Orlando, Florida
This was my very first Cirque du Soleil show, and I’ve seen it a total of 3 times. It holds a special place in my heart because it was first, but it is also a wonderful introduction to the Cirque world. The combination of mystery and fantastic performances make …
Wicked The Musical

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 …
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 …
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 …

Henry Fonda Theater in Hollywood, CA
I have been to the Henry Fonda Theater a number of times in the past four to five years to see concerts, and it’s undoubtedly my favorite small venue in Los Angeles. Unlike the Troubadour, the Echo, or similar other venues, it has a great deal of open space, …
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 …

Barleen’s Arizona Opry Dinner Theater
There’s a bit of a stigma which Arizona carries about the age of its citizens. Simply put, many people in other states view it as an oversized retirement community because of the healthy dry air and abundance of sunshine. Barleen’s Arizona Opry derives all of its success from this …

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 …
As You Like It
“All the world’s a stage, and all men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages.”
I have always heard this line. The line is, no doubt, a quite famous one. And I …
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 …
Detroit Film Theatre,Detroit Michigan
