THEATER REVIEW: Absolute Brightness Is Absolutely Terrific

James Lecesne’s virtuosic, moving one-man show ends PTC’s season on a high note.

Tracey Scott Wilson’s powerful, edgy play shows Theatre Exile at its considerable best.

On her upcoming appearance here with Seth Rudetsky, her performing history in Philadelphia, and (surprise!) … how polite the locals are.

Jacqueline Goldfinger’s spellbinding new play honors centuries of theater in a voice that is distinctly her own.

There’s considerable accomplishment and comic virtuosity here in Marc Camoletti’s farce.

A fine cast, expert conducting, and beautiful designs are hallmarks of Opera Philadelphia’s production.

One of the three plot strands in Stef Smith’s sincere play is for the ages.

This amped-up version has its own rewards—especially in the marvelous Euan Morton.

What should be shocking and hilarious emerges here as kind of naughty and sort of funny.

One of the supreme classics of musical theater seen here in a brilliantly theatrical staging.

I would gladly have stayed on to see this gorgeous show a second time.

Even when we’re not clear where Mia Chung’s play is going, the trip is more than worthwhile.

Blanka Zizka’s playwriting debut showcases her considerable skills… as a director

Walnut Street’s production captures the arch surface of Wilde’s script.

Songs and spectacle win our hearts in this Rodgers and Hammerstein classic.
