BWW Review: LA TRAVIATA at Lyric Opera Of Chicago BWW Review: LA TRAVIATA at Lyric Opera Of Chicago
by Emily McClanathan on February 17, 2019 in Chicago

As with most tales of doomed romance, Giuseppe Verdi's LA TRAVIATA highlights the contrasts between two social spheres and the difficulties faced by lovers who try to bridge this chasm. In this 1853 opera, based on a play by Alexandre Dumas, fils, the beautiful courtesan Violetta Valery (Albina Shagimuratova) tries to escape her past life among the hedonistic upper classes of Paris to settle down with her true love, Alfredo Germont (Giorgio Berrugi). After a brief period of bliss, the couple is driven apart by the strict bourgeois morality of Alfredo's family, in particular his father, who refuses to overlook Violetta's shameful past until she is on her deathbed.

BWW Review: WEST SIDE STORY Comes Alive in Immersive Production at Theater West End in Sanford, FL BWW Review: WEST SIDE STORY Comes Alive in Immersive Production at Theater West End in Sanford, FL
by Aaron Wallace on February 17, 2019 in Orlando

At Theater West End, you've entered the world of WEST SIDE STORY before even taking your seat. Getting there requires walking across the blue-collar, gang-ridden streets of 1950s New York in the Upper West Side. There's graffiti on the floor beneath you and the walls all around. T-shirts hang out to dry on clotheslines over your head. There's a basketball goal on the cage-wire fence the band sits behind. You might even be seated next to a fire hydrant or a traffic cone. It takes a moment to remember that this same space was home to Madison County's bridges just a couple months ago... (more...)

BWW Review: 9 TO 5 THE MUSICAL, Savoy Theatre BWW Review: 9 TO 5 THE MUSICAL, Savoy Theatre
by Marianka Swain on February 17, 2019 in UK / West End

In a programme interview, Patricia Resnick - writer of both the original 1980 film and this 2008 musical adaptation - notes that Jane Fonda wanted to convey a political message about workplace sexism, but realised couching it in comedy would make it more palatable. Like composer Dolly Parton herself, who appears on video to top and tail the stage show, it's a considered combination of sugar and steel. (more...)

BWW Review: OLSO at Mirvish Breathes Life into the Figures Behind the Oslo Accords BWW Review: OLSO at Mirvish Breathes Life into the Figures Behind the Oslo Accords
by Isabella Perrone on February 17, 2019 in Toronto

The Studio 180 production of OSLO, presented as part of the off-Mirvish season, tells the heavily-dramatized story behind the Oslo Accords. Written by J.T. Rogers and directed here by Joel Greenberg, the play receives a minimalistic interpretation of the 1990s backroom negotiations between Palestine and Israel conceptualized and orchestrated by Norwegian academic Terje Rod-Larsen (Blair Williams).

BWW Review: Greasepaint Youtheatre Presents URINETOWN BWW Review: Greasepaint Youtheatre Presents URINETOWN
by Herbert Paine on February 17, 2019 in Phoenix Metro

If you're looking for a good-natured satire on the excesses of capitalism, you're-in-luck with URINETOWN ~ the Mark Hollmann and Greg Kotis musical that riffs on a draconian vision of a pay-to-pee society. If you're looking for a high-spirited rendition of the musical, look no further than the stage of Greasepaint Youtheatre where a stellar cast of young actors is delivering a wicked pissah (i.e., really great) performance, under the direction of Bob Sorrenson.

THE LIGHTNING THIEF: THE PERCY JACKSON MUSICAL Blazes through the Kennedy Center THE LIGHTNING THIEF: THE PERCY JACKSON MUSICAL Blazes through the Kennedy Center
by Jennifer Perry on February 17, 2019 in Washington, DC

Many of the audience members clearly knew the source material better than I did going in – if the entrance applause and excitement of the people around me was any indicator. However, I think it's safe to say we were all equally charmed by the end – even me, an admittedly jaded musical theater junkie. (more...)
BWW Review: Seattle Musical Theatre's Awesome AIDA is Their Strongest Suit! BWW Review: Seattle Musical Theatre's Awesome AIDA is Their Strongest Suit!
by Jay Irwin on February 17, 2019 in Seattle

Before any theater company even considers attempting Elton John and Tim Rice's rock musical "Aida", they need to have, at the very least, four things in place. An awesome band to back up the amazing ensemble. A dashing Radames and a larger than life Amneris, both with fantastic pipes of their own, and of course a killer Aida who can handle the powerful, belt your face off in the back-row songs she has to sing throughout. Enter Seattle Musical Theatre who has had a rocky time of it as of late but has been struggling to make a comeback. And with their current production of "Aida" and I'm thrilled to report from that list; check, check, check, and CHECK!!! Now before we move on I must inform you that thanks to Snowmageddon 2019, Seattle Musical Theatre had to cancel their entire opening weekend of this production, and by the time this is up after me seeing it over the second weekend you'll only have one weekend left. Start making plans for seeing it during that weekend while you read the rest of this. (more...)
