MAMMA MIA at Broadway in Tucson is an energetic crowdpleaser! I spent my childhood listening to the music of ABBA and watching various iterations of MAMMA MIA. The bar was very high for me on this one. I am pleased to say that Broadway in Tucson delivers a stunning and captivating performance with excellent visuals and vocals combined.

BEACH BLANKET BEE BOP is now playing at The Gaslight Theatre! Written by Peter VanSlyke and adapted/directed by Katherine Byrnes and Mike Yarema, this is a side-splitting and toe-tapping musical parody. The Gaslight Theatre takes audiences back to the 1960's for a sun-kissed tale about a beloved boardwalk in Surfside, California.

Bob & Jean: A Love Story at Arizona Theatre Company is beautiful. Directed by Matt August, the play is about a distant romance set during World War II.

IT IS MAGIC is hilarious, challenging, and intense!

MURDER AT THE HOWARD JOHNSON'S is a laugh-a-minute comedy!

A conversation about writing and producing musicals

RIPCORD is hilarious, heartfelt, and well-directed.

This is a powerful and deeply relevant production!

CRONAN THE BARBARIAN is first-rate family entertainment!

HADESTOWN: TEEN EDITION at The Inner Voice Studio is a powerful reminder of how great teen theatre can be. This production (which features three casts rotating shows) solidifies Tucson as a prime location for quality youth theatre

THE WIZARD OF OZ is the perfect holiday treat!

ROCK 'N' ROLL CHRISTMAS REVUE at The Gaslight Music Hall is in full swing! The show is a stocking stuffer of holiday hits that will have audiences singing and dancing out the door. This concert is an excellent way to ring in the season!

SCROOGE at The Gaslight Theatre is a true delight!

MISERY by William Goldman and based on the novel by Stephen King has made its mark at Live Theatre Workshop. This project is a breath of fresh air. Directed by Sabian Trout, with Assistant Direction by Shanna Brock, this play is both chilling and darkly humorous. MISERY, which is playing until November 10 on the Live Theatre Workshop Mainstage, offers up a talented cast and superb technical direction. It will send a shiver down your spine even though Halloween season is now over. Make no mistake, Halloween is very much alive at Live Theatre Workshop.

Pinate has done an exceptional job creating a fantasy world built on darkly charming whimsy and wonder. I was often reminded of ALICE IN WONDERLAND while watching ALEBRIJES. Pinate fills the stage with fantastical imagery, much of it lit under jaw-droppingly beautiful blacklight.

BRIGHT STAR is a joyous and rousing production writes our critic.

For over 100 years Valley of The Moon has provided immersive entertainment for Tucsonans of all ages. I had the pleasure of speaking with Dante Crossroad, who is the Head of the Theatrical Department.

MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET at Saguaro City is an absolute triumph says BroadwayWorld's critic. Read on for our full review of the production.

DIAL M FOR MURDER is a chilling thriller with strong performances says BWW's critic.

This play is a lot of fun and audiences will leave with a smile on their face!
