Arts Garage’s Scorching Smoke Suffused With Sex As A Weapon

Difficult But Intriguing Musical ‘A Minister’s Wife’ At GableStage
When a company like GableStage takes risks so many others will not, there’s bound to be some triumphs, some failures, and mixed results as in A Minister’s Wife.

Don’t Cry For This Vibrant Evita Revival At Broward Stage Door
A supremely confident and corrupt demagogue whips up the sheep in a populist uprising targeting a change in the government status quo.

Bullets Over Broadway Tour Is Diverting Musical But Not A Good Mix With Original Film
Bullets Over Broadway, a musical based on the Woody Allen film, fits an undemanding appetite for light entertainment at the Kravis Center. But it’s what some theater fans call a “Why Musical,” as in why bother musicalizing the original near-perfect property.
Slow Burn’s Spring Awakening Blossoms At Broward Center
Since you can understand the lyrics here better than in any previous production, Slow Burn Theatre Co.’s Spring Awakening, the powerful punch and pungent poetry come through with a clarity that elevates this edition over the others.
