What did our critic think of KINKY BOOTS at Omaha Community Playhouse?
By the time you read this, you may have missed your chance to see Disney's BEAUTY AND THE BEAST at the Ralston Community Theatre. You may have thought that it's a 'tale as old as time,' that you've seen several times, both on film and on stage. But this one may be different. This one felt more like home than a quiet village. The performers were familiar, the theater was in a local high school, and the audience...your friends and neighbors...were loving every minute. I especially enjoyed watching the face of a little girl dressed in her Belle costume completely entranced. Sometimes seeing something through the eyes of a child makes it new again.
If you like movies like, 'You've Got Mail,' you will like this show. SHE LOVES ME is about as sweet as a parfumerie.
BIG FISH, THE MUSICAL took the stage this week at the Bellevue Little Theatre. It is a heart warming story that balances on the fine line between what is true and what isn't. Fact or fiction--we all want a hero.
ANNIE is a family favorite. Take yours to see it. Have a little fun.
JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH is destined to be a giant hit for families with children and for anyone who enjoys a frivolous flight of imagination. It is visually delicious. It is literally music to your ears. And it is another rock solid production for the OCP.
James and the Giant Peach, a magical story of adventure and unexpected friends in a family-friendly musical, will run March 2 - 25, 2018 at the Omaha Community Playhouse in the Hawks Mainstage Theatre.

With so much theater happening in Omaha, it's difficult to garner a sold out crowd on a weekend night. But for those who want a mindless jaunt to the Roman Forum, this is your trip. It's quaint. It's charming. (It's filled with Ebkes.) And it's a funny thing.
