Travis Michael Holder – TicketHoldersLA Beginning in the total dark with a burst of ear-splitting ambient noise, this opening choice is as if the show’s creators are giving us a warning: This is only the beginning, motherf***ers, so get ready to scream out loud and jump out of your seats on a regular basis for … Read more
Amanda Callas – Broadwayworld A decadent, kitchen-sink-sized chocolate sundae with a sparkly sprinkling of campiness on top, Moulin Rouge! has the allure of something that you know is excessive but you simply cannot resist another bite.

Harker Jones – BroadwayWorld In the end, if you love GREASE, you may not mind the grumbles and grouses that plagued the production for me.

F. Kathleen Foley – Stage Raw Playwright Clara Rodriguez certainly doesn’t hold back in Pointy Scissors, now having its world premiere at Theatre West. Rapid-fire in pace and convoluted, the play is a farce in the truest sense of the word. Read more…
Martín Hernández – Stage Raw While the play is populated with stereotypical characters and falters in dramatic tension, the show compensates with robust jokes, engaging performances from an excellent cast, and a subtle critique of American culture and politics.

F. Kathleen Foley – Stage Raw Mark Guirguis’s clever scenic features a series of flats that pivots to reveal the castle’s various rooms. Leigh Allen’s lighting design is effectively murky, sometimes to a fault. However, it is Rubalsky’s magnificent sound design, all creaks and moans and things that go bump in the night, that is … Read more
