April 19, 2018 // 0 Comments

Once again, a musical didn’t take home the Pulitzer this year (Martyna Majok’s Cost of Living received that awesome honor this year) but awards season is here and we are so excited to announce the list of nominees for the 2018 Drama League Awards! We recommend bookmarking our awards page, which will always be the first place we announce ...

The Reviews for CAROUSEL are In…

April 13, 2018 // 0 Comments

The reviews for Carousel are in, and the critics love the new life that’s been breathed into this Rodgers and Hammerstein classic. The direction by Jack O’Brien and the choreography by Justin Peck are (mostly) outstanding… the production is thoughtful in tone, playing honestly to both the light and dark moments, and the choreography is ...

The Reviews for MEAN GIRLS are In…

April 9, 2018 // 0 Comments

Mean Girls is open on Broadway, and the critics say it’s far from perfect, but a pretty fun homage to the beloved 2004 film favorite. With a book adapted by Tina Fey from a screenplay by Tina Fey, Mean Girls on Broadway shares much with its source material, including the plot, characters, and now-legendary one-liners, but smartly evolves to set the ...

The Reviews for FROZEN are In…

March 23, 2018 // 0 Comments

Frozen is open on Broadway, and the critics are… luke warm. The leads (Caissie Levy as Elsa and Patti Murin as Anna) deliver on their parts, offering fully developed characters that feel inspired by the film but evolved enough to capture attention in a live setting. And the production is certainly stunning, even if a bit inconsistent in style, ...

The Reviews for ESCAPE TO MARGARITAVILLE are In…

March 16, 2018 // 0 Comments

Jimmy Buffett’s Escape to Margaritaville is open on Broadway, and this new jukebox musical doesn’t sip champagne on opening night – it slugs frozen margaritas. With tiki hut lobby design (complete with frozen and on-the-rocks margaritas) and “colorful” and care-free music and characters, the production invites you to check ...

The Reviews for SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS are In…

December 5, 2017 // 0 Comments

SpongeBob Squarepants may be best for youngsters and young-ish millennials, but there seems to be plenty to entertain our full-grown critics too. The epic $20 million budget affords scenery and props that are ridiculously fun and imaginative, fully creating the bubbly world of a 2-dimensional cartoon in 3-dimensional glory. And the performers match the ...

The Reviews for ONCE ON THIS ISLAND are In…

December 4, 2017 // 0 Comments

Reviewers love Once on This Island! From the environmental design that immerses audiences into a trashed paradise to the outstanding cast of veterans and newcomers alike, the revival of this musical fable is timely, beautiful, and spirited – a winning combination. Director Michael Arden’s smarts and thoughtfulness are evident everywhere… ...

The Reviews for THE BAND’S VISIT are In…

November 10, 2017 // 0 Comments

The Band's Visit
The Band’s Visit is open, and the critics are captivated by this intimate and “miraculous” new musical. The songs by David Yazbeck are beautiful and confident at once, while the book by Itamar Moses has grown richer with the move from the Atlantic to the Barrymore. The cast is tremendous; Katrina Lenk and Tony Shalhoub lead with ...

The Reviews for PRINCE OF BROADWAY are In…

August 25, 2017 // 0 Comments

Emily Skinner singing “The Ladies Who Lunch” from “Company” in “Prince of Broadway.”
Prince of Broadway is officially open, and while the critics love Harold Prince and his musicals as much as the next theatregoer, they don’t particularly like this rather aimless revue. The cast works hard to make brief snapshots of renowned musicals matter, portraying iconic characters in some of the most memorable songs of the Hal Prince canon with ...
