CATS is weird, but CATS is CATS, and the dancing is outstanding. And I didn’t hate it.
It’s very rare that I write a review that totally seems to contradict the mainstream movie critics, but this review of CATS is one of them. Not that it’s a good movie — but it’s a very solid adaptation/interpretation of the stage musical. If you do not love musical theater, then for God’s sake stayContinue reading “CATS is weird, but CATS is CATS, and the dancing is outstanding. And I didn’t hate it.”
Outstanding The Addams Family at Osceola Arts (Review – Kissimmee, FL)
There’s a stunning production of The Addams Family musical at Osceola Arts running through October 13th.

High-Energy “In the Heights” is Terrific (Croswell Opera House)
There’s a high energy, dancing, hip-hopping, laughing, crying, cheering, whooping production of “In The Heights” that opened last night at the Croswell Opera House and it is terrific.
