Review: FAWLTY TOWERS THE PLAY, Apollo Theatre
UK / West End: Aliya Al-Hassan on May 16, 2024 For a sitcom that only lasted for 12 episodes, Fawlty Towers left an indelible mark on British comedy. Discourteous hotel owner Basil Fawlty and his shrewish wife Sybil became legends, along with long-suffering chambermaid Polly and hapless waiter Manuel. Previously staged in Australia, this nostalgic and tightly choreographed play is adapted by the series’ original co-writer John Cleese.

Review: THE HEIGHT OF THE STORM at Black Point Theatre
Sacramento: Courtney Symes on May 15, 2024 Death becomes her…I think. Or maybe it becomes him. Someone might be dead. Or not. Florian Zeller’s The Height of the Storm leaves many unanswered questions at the Black Point Theatre, ones that I’m not sure I will ever understand. I suppose that’s the point, as Zeller said, “…For me the theatre is, above all, the place for questions, not answers. For doubt more than certainty or conviction.”
Review: AN AMERICAN SOLDIER Is a Horror Story of Brutality and Abuse
Opera: Richard Sasanow on May 15, 2024 “Why did I enlist? Why did I go to war?” are but two of the questions that Private Danny Chen asks himself in the powerful docu-opera, AN AMERICAN SOLDIER, by Huang Ruo and David Henry Hwang. It was directed thoughtfully and surely by Chay Yew in its New York debut Sunday afternoon at the new Perelman Performing Arts Center (PAC-NYC) at the World Trade Center in lower Manhattan.
Review: TORCH SONG at Marin Theatre
San Francisco / Bay Area: Steve Murray on May 15, 2024 Marin Theatre closes out their 2023/24 season with a newly revised production of Harvey Fierstein’s Tony Award-winning Torch Song. A smash hit in 1982, the original trilogy opened the floodgate of LGBT representations in theatre, film, and television with its universal themes of self-acceptance, family, and equality.
Review: ANNIE at Studio 42 & Co
Arkansas: Theresa Bertram on May 15, 2024 Broadway World saw the tiniest Annie at Studio 42 & Co. production of ANNIE in the Adams-Vines Recital Hall on the Arkansas Northeastern College in Blytheville May 5. However, though seven-year-old Darby Carter was small, she proved that she could stand as tall as the rest of the cast as she belted out her signature song Tomorrow.
Review: Opening Night at Pops Showcases George Gershwin, Harry Connick, Jr., and More
Boston: R. Scott Reedy on May 15, 2024 There were three great pianists on the program when the Boston Pops recently opened its 138th season at Symphony Hall.
Review: CLUE at the Aronoff Center
Cincinnati: Ana-Brit Asplen on May 15, 2024 Though the script is very similar to the 1985 movie of the same name and features many of the same iconic lines and story elements, this adaptation of Clue is successful in its own right. Between a talented cast, surprising design elements, and direction that knew how to transport the story to the stage, Clue is a solid comedy play.
Review: J2 Spotlight's BACK TO BEFORE at AMT Theater Is Spot-On
Cabaret: Rob Lester on May 15, 2024 A cabaret night called Back To Before looked back at the numerous scores of Ahrens and Flaherty. Material from Seussical, Anastasia, Ragtime, The Glorious Ones, and more sounded glorious at the May 7th show.

Review: SIMON RATTLE AND THE BRSO AT CARNEGIE HALL at Carnegie Hall
Classical Music: Peter Danish on May 15, 2024 Simon Rattle is possibly the most interesting conductor before the public today. And one thing audiences can count on is that no two performances he conducts will ever be identical. There is no question that he brings forth fire and magical playing. There is no question he bring forth colors that you never heard in a piece before. But sometimes, one wonders if its all simply design just to sound different, not necessarily better than the rest.
Review: ROCK OF AGES at The Gateway
Long Island: Melissa Giordano on May 15, 2024 The Gateway of Bellport certainly has another hit on their hands with their current offering of the fun musical Rock Of Ages. Running through June 2nd at the beautiful Long Island venue, this Tony nominee celebrates all things 80's with some of music's greatest songs making up the score. Created by Chris D'Arienzo, there are several story lines woven throughout this raucous musical excellently directed by Keith Andrews.
Review: A SONG OF SONGS, Park Theatre
UK / West End: Louise Penn on May 15, 2024 A Song of Songs has been placed within a traditional Middle Eastern beat by Ofra Daniel, writer, composer, director, and lead actor as Tirzah, unfulfilled wife. Whether through the stamps and flowing skirts of flamenco or thumping percussive beats, the physicality of the piece takes centre stage. What may be missing is an emotional connection.

Review: WITHNAIL AND I, Birmingham Rep
UK / West End: Debbie Gilpin on May 15, 2024 “What we need is harmony, fresh air, stuff like that.” Almost 40 years after it first graced the big screen, cult classic film Withnail and I has been adapted for the stage – and it is currently in the middle of a limited engagement at the Birmingham Rep.
Review: PEOPLE, PLACES & THINGS, Trafalgar Theatre
UK / West End: Aliya Al-Hassan on May 15, 2024 It’s nearly a decade since Denise Gough set the stage alight in Duncan MacMillan’s starkly raw study of addiction. She now reprises her Olivier and Critics' Circle Theatre Award-winning role as Emma for this harrowing and completely absorbing new production of People, Places & Things.
