“Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” revisited by Adam and David
When Marriott Theatre in Lincolnshire opened their current production of "Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat", I could not fit it into Adam's busy schedule ( ah, the life of a 7 year old) and so I took my grand-niece and her friend and added some of what they had [Read More]
“Enfrascada”
There is much comedy and even though Saracho sprinkles in a bit more Spanish than in her other plays, you will not miss any of the humor or story line. The actresses, all five, are wonderful as they work together in taking us on this journey; visiting the Senoras, who all [Read More]
“The Pirates of Penzance”
What makes an old show new and sparkling in a new type of production is the direction and choreography, handled to prefection by Dominic Missimi ( director) and Matt Raftery(Choreography) who make a small , intimate stage feel as if it was a large Broadway production. What [Read More]
“Motherhood the Musical”
While it is truly a show for women, the men can relate to some of what they see as well. Let's face it, we all had mothers and if married, wives that they will see in some, if not all , their own exposure to how women handle becoming mothers. One of the numbers, " I Leak" [Read More]
“Jersey Boys”

“The Rainmaker”
This is indeed a classic story of faith and hope as well as dreams and BoHo has taken a 99 seat venue in the Theatre Wt building on Belmont and with their clever set (Stephen M. Genovese, who is also the director of this marvelous production) and reduced to an even More [Read More]
“Re-Spiced:A Silk Road Cabaret”
they did come up with something new and fun, although just a little longer than it needed to be and with a little more prose than needed. Creator Jamil Khoury, who chose the narratives and songs, tried to blend them together to make the perfect mix, but in this case, some [Read More]
“Chesapeake”
The twist in Blessing's tale is one that I won't reveal, as it is best to see it for yourself, but it is an uncanny series of incidents that bring two opposing views to light and what takes place is very comical. Anderson's energy and boyish charms as he goes through the [Read More]
