What did our critic think of TOOTSIE at Orpheum Theatre?

What did our critic think of A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM at Blackfriars Theatre?

Performances of the Sydney premiere of City of Angels commence this Friday 23 June at Hayes Theatre Co. The Tony Award winning show, produced by Joshua Robson Productions (Bonnie & Clyde, In the Heights) in association with Hayes Theatre Co is set to thrill and delight Sydney audiences for a limited season.

What did our critic think of A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM at Porthouse (Kent State University)?

New Line Theatre’s production of A FUNNY THING HAPPENS ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM succeeds due to Scott Miller’s directorial vision and the comedic timing of Miller’s strong cast. There are plenty of laughs in the First Act, but the second act builds to a crescendo of complete hilarity. Miller’s blocking and the actors’ execution of  the Second Act chase scene is downright madcap. Ann Hier Brown’s delivery of “That Dirty Old Man,” Kent Coffel and Chris Moore’s delivery of “Lovely,” and the Company’s collaboration on “Funeral Sequence” keeps the audience laughing nonstop following the intermission. The remaining cast Jason Blackburn, Danny Brown, Gary Cox, Robert Doyle, Nathan Hakenewerth, Brittany Kohl Hester, Aarin Kamphoefner, Ian McCreary and Sarah Wilkinson rely on their deadpan delivery and comedic timing to deliver big laughs throughout the show.

In two weeks, TOOTSIE, the hilarious Tony Award-winning musical, is coming to Overture Center for the Arts for a limited one-week engagement from Tuesday, June 13 to Sunday, June 18 in Overture Hall.

TOOTSIE (The Musical), is a fun opening evening for the seventy-first season of Starlight Theatre at Swope Park across from the Kansas City Zoo. Tootsie (The Film) was so good it is preserved it on the United States National Film Registry. Add the sea-change in attitudes surrounding same-sex relationships and this show is set up to be a very tough sell. Remarkably, TOOTSIE (The Musical) absolutely works.

Performing Arts Fort Worth, the non-profit owner and operator of Bass Performance Hall, announced that TOOTSIE will host a digital ticket lottery powered by Broadway Direct.

Starlight will present the Tony Award-Winning Musical Tootsie to open the 2023 AdventHealth Broadway Series at Starlight Theatre May 19-21.

The American Theatre Guild will present the hilarious Tony Award-winning musical, TOOTSIE. This production will close out the 22–23 BROADWAY IN THOUSAND OAKS SERIES at the Bank of America Performing Arts Center May 30–June 3, 2023.
