This is the real deal!  Audience members were called on stage.  Real cash and prizes were awarded.  Same music, same sound effects, same games.  Hosted by “the host with the most’ Todd Newton, everyone involved had a great time.  Newton has that smooth, buttery emcee demeanor while simultaneously exuding charm, enthusiasm, and a great sense of humor.

When it’s over, a good show should leave the audience thinking about more than “where did I park my car?”.  Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead definitely fits this bill.

What did our critic think of 9 TO 5 at Fulton Theatre? The Fulton brings the musical version of the feminist farce, 9 to 5 to the mainstage. Based on the 1980 film of the same name, the plot follows three secretaries and their struggles and triumphs against their sexist, narcissist of a boss.

What did our critic think of COME FROM AWAY at Hershey Theatre? The national tour of the hit musical, Come From Away is currently playing at the Hershey Theatre.  It is a remarkable true story of kindness and community.  Sort of a musical documentary, the story tells the events that occurred in the small Canandian town of Gander, when dozens of planes and thousands of passengers were grounded and redirected to their town following the events of September 11th.
