Review: PRELUDE TO A KISS Returns to South Coast Repertory as a World Premiere Musical


by Michael Quintos - April 23, 2024

Based on Craig Lucas' 1988 play and 1992 film adaptation of the same name, PRELUDE TO A KISS - THE MUSICAL is an admirable first attempt of a new musical that is, clearly, still a work-in-progress.

Review: Wildly Over-the-top BEETLEJUICE - THE MUSICAL Spooks Laughs at OC's Segerstrom Center

Review: Musical Theatre West Brings MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET Back to Life in Long Beach


by Michael Quintos - April 19, 2024

More like one elongated impromptu jam session than a typical musical, Musical Theatre West's new production of MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET doesn't involve a complex storyline, but instead focuses on imagining what it must have been like to be in the room where music history happened. The resulting concer...

Review: HIGH MAINTENANCE at The Road Theatre On Magnolia


by Harker Jones - April 18, 2024
