Shakespeare Theatre NJ - Henry VI: Blood and Roses
Henry VI: Blood and Roses was an amazing production that captured the art of the theatre and Shakespeare’s timeless histories. Entering the theatre, one would be intrigued by the props and outlook of the stage. A mysterious feeling overtakes the scenery even when the play has not started yet. …

Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand
Rarely does the Oregon Shakespeare Festival stage a non-Shakespeare play on the outdoor Elizabethan Theatre. I was privileged to see a production recently. I’ve seen Cyrano before live and enjoyed the play, but it wasn’t a favorite of mine.
On the night I attended Marco Barricelli, cast as Cyrano, was …

Chicago on Broadway
I think that what makes a great broadway show is wear you are sitting. I went to see the Broadway Show “Chicago” and although I thought it was going to be a really great experience, it really wasn’t. I was sitting all the way in the back on the …
The Lion King Broadway Show
I drove to Edmonton to see —˜The Lion King’ because a friend of mine had an extra ticket. I was not thoroughly convinced I wanted to see it, because although I loved the Disney movie, with the wonderful soundtrack from Elton John, I am not really a —˜play’ or …
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 …

RENT The Broadway Tour

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 …
Jersey Boys musical
“Oh What a Night!” The touring company for the musical “Jersey Boys” was outstanding.

Emmetsburg Riviera Theater
I am reviewing the small town Riviera movie theater, specifically located in Emmetsburg, Iowa. For years, this movie theater was supremely outdated, run down, and unattractive. Recently, it got a huge makeover. The sound system has been updated so movie goers can officially hear base. In regards to the …

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 …

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 …

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, …
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 …
You Can’t Take It with You
I had a wonderful time this afternoon at the Bellingham Theatre Guild. The theatre is within walking distance from my house which is quite a treat since I’ve been known to drive over five hundred miles to watch a play production.

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 …
Les Miserables play
The most amazing play that I have seen on broadway two times is Les Miserables. In my opinion, this profound work of art, could even be appealing to people who do not tend to have a flare for seeing plays. Perhaps one of the biggest reasons that …
King John by William Shakespeare
“King John” is one of those troublesome plays written by Shakespeare. It isn’t often staged. I saw it recently for the second time and found the current production at the Oregon Shakespeare festival to be an excellent production that did not drag. In fact it was extremely exciting.
I loved …
Mystere In Las Vegas
Mystere was the last of the shows I went to on my trip to Las Vegas. “Mystere” and Cirque du Soleil’s “The Beatles’ LOVE” were playing in casinos next door to each other, and after reading some bad reviews of “LOVE “we decided on Mystere. As was the usual …
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 …
Rialto Square Theater
My favorite theater is the Rialto Square Theater, located in Joliet, Illinois. This theater features a lot of big names without the big price tag that I had expected to find. For example, they have featured comedians such as Bill Engvall, and musicians such as Willie Nelson. The Rialto …
The Picture Show at Merchant’s Walk

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 …
The War Horse play
This play is simply stunning.
I saw it at the National Theatre in December 2008, but I believe it is now opening at a new Theatre in the West End.
War Horse is based on a children’s novel by Michael Morpurgo - but don’t let that influence your opinion, the content …
Rialto Movie Theater in The Villages in Florida
As someone who has seen been in many a movie theater, I would like to say that I have seen some good theaters, as well as some bad theaters. But never have I seen a theater with reclining chairs, spacious seating, and a large luxurious screen as I did …
