The Stadium Theatre will host a production of the smash rock musical American Idiot from August 11 through the 13th. Featuring songs from Green Day’s Grammy Award-winning album, the show follows the journey of a new generation of young Americans as they struggle to find meaning in a post-9/11 world. Mike Daniels plays Johnny, a […]
For me, nothing says summer like a trek to Contemporary Theatre Company. I was excited to hear that they were doing a comedy this summer, One Man, Two Guvnors by Richard Bean, which graced Broadway stages five years ago starring James Corden. I went into this show knowing very little about it, but right away […]
Trust me, seeing a show at Bill Hanney’s Theatre By The Sea (TBTS) is akin to capturing that perfect Instagram shot of summer at sunset. The drive down to South County is just long enough to feel like you’ve “gotten away” from it all, you are surrounded by beach cottages and they are literally putting […]
We are all seeking that special someone, that perfect person who will complete us. Dating has never been easier, with websites and apps allowing us to choose from a variety of potential mates within minutes. It should be easy to find The One, right? Wrong. As the characters in Baggage show us, sometimes it’s not […]
Sex sells. The folks at the Granite Theatre in Westerly know that, choosing Tim Firth’s Calendar Girls as their current production. The audience had a great time, and for good reason. The script is touching, witty and at times, laugh-out-loud funny. This production had several challenges that worked against the script, but in the end […]
Epic Theatre Company’s summer of satire is underway, and insanely ironic if you read our piece on James Franco and Me. The second installment in the summer rep shows is an original offering by Kevin Broccoli titled Dorothy, Rose, Sophia, and Blanche. Let’s begin with this rockstar cast. This show was destined to have a […]
The smash Disney musical Beauty And The Beast will charm audiences at Theatre By The Sea (TBTS) beginning July 19. The Broadway production was nominated for nine 1994 Tony Awards, including Best Musical and won London’s Olivier Award for Best Musical, and it is the tenth longest running show in Broadway history. The score, […]
As 2nd Story Theatre closes in on the final weekend of its charming, melancholic take on Truman Capote’s Breakfast at Tiffany’s (by way of Richard Greenberg’s taut adaptation of the original novella), a transformation is taking place. Upstairs, Holly Golightly is sweetly fast-talking her way into our hearts, while, in the basement, the bones of […]
I approached last year’s FringePVD a little bit differently than usual. Normally organizing and planning what I’d like to see, last year I decided to simply head to an evening location and let the tides of fate carry me where they would. I’m not sure it’s the best way to attack a festival – as […]
Looking to experience the inside of a brain, have a drink with Jesus, hang out with an AI in a post-apocalyptic world, become trapped in Vogue magazine advertisement, attend a kid’s birthday party and see a metal opera, all in a period of five days? Probably not, as the possibility likely never crossed your mind. Such […]
