Review: PETER PAN Presented by Broadway Across America at Kentucky Performing Arts Photo Review: PETER PAN Presented by Broadway Across America at Kentucky Performing Arts
by Taylor Clemons - March 28, 2025

Peter Pan is a classic story I venture to think most people know: the story of three siblings whisked off to Neverland by a boy who won’t grow up, where they have adventures and fight pirates. The Disney version is the most famous, but the stage version has been performed for decades. A new national...

by Taylor Clemons - February 22, 2025

What did our critic think of URINETOWN at Derby Dinner Playhouse? What is Urinetown? For the purposes of this review, I’m going to be referring to the musical, not the place. Urinetown premiered on Broadway in 2001 and was an early, popular example of meta-satire in the Broadway musical landscape. I...

Broadway Beyond Louisville Review: Broadway in Cincinnati presents LIFE OF PI at The Photo Broadway Beyond Louisville Review: Broadway in Cincinnati presents LIFE OF PI at The Aronoff Center
by Taylor Clemons - February 07, 2025

Life of Pi was originally a novel by Yann Martel released in 2001, where our main character Piscine Molitor 'Pi' Patel and his family leave India to immigrate to Canada. While on the journey, there’s a shipwreck leaving Pi alone on a lifeboat with only a dangerous Bengal tiger named Richard Parker t...

Review: MAMMA MIA! Presented by Broadway Across America at Kentucky Performing Arts Photo Review: MAMMA MIA! Presented by Broadway Across America at Kentucky Performing Arts
by Taylor Clemons - December 05, 2024

It’s been over 9 years since Mamma Mia played it’s final performance on Broadway. The show was a Broadway mainstay for nearly 15 years before closing in 2015, and no production since has truly been able to capture the pure joy of what makes the show so great. At the height of its success, it spawned...

Review: JERSEY BOYS at Derby Dinner Playhouse Photo Review: JERSEY BOYS at Derby Dinner Playhouse
by Taylor Clemons - August 23, 2024

What did our critic think of JERSEY BOYS at Derby Dinner Playhouse? The biography jukebox musical is quite the unique brand of theatre experience. So many come to mind in recent years (Beautiful, The Cher Show, MJ, Tina, etc.), but you could easily argue that Jersey Boys was the first of its kind in...

Review: A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM: A QUEER TALE at Drag Daddy Productions Photo Review: A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM: A QUEER TALE at Drag Daddy Productions
by Taylor Clemons - July 12, 2024

Summertime and Shakespeare are a tried and true match. Every year across the country, theaters undoubtedly program Shakespeare into their schedules. This year Louisville’s own Drag Daddy Productions is getting in on the fun with a new and modern take on one of the Bard’s most well-known classics, A ...

Review: BEETLEJUICE THE MUSICAL Presented by Broadway Across America at Kentucky Perf Photo Review: BEETLEJUICE THE MUSICAL Presented by Broadway Across America at Kentucky Performing Arts
by Taylor Clemons - May 16, 2024

In the past few years in film, television, and onstage, it’s been proven that nostalgia sells…and it sells well. So it only seems natural (or should I say supernatural) that a spooky season favorite film Beetlejuice would make its way to the stage in a big flashy Broadway musical. ...

What did our critic think of CLUE at Whitney Hall? Clue first and foremost is a classic Parker Brothers board game that has been a family favorite since its publication in 1949....

Review: SWEENEY TODD at Derby Dinner Playhouse Photo Review: SWEENEY TODD at Derby Dinner Playhouse
by Taylor Clemons - March 04, 2024

What did our critic think of SWEENET TODD at Derby Dinner Playhouse? Depending on who you ask about the late Stephen Sondheim’s body of work, I’d venture that most would say his masterpiece is the melodramatic revenge quasi-gothic horror opera Sweeney Todd....

by Taylor Clemons - October 23, 2023

What did our critic think of GIRL FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY at Aronoff Center? Admittedly, I’m not a huge Bob Dylan fan. Not for any reasons like dislike, but generationally I was never really exposed to his music. So when I heard there was a new musical using his catalog, my expectations were tampered...

Review: WICKED presented by Broadway Across America at Kentucky Performing Arts Photo Review: WICKED presented by Broadway Across America at Kentucky Performing Arts
by Taylor Clemons - September 26, 2023

What did our critic think of WICKED at Whitney Hall? Wicked is an institution. Wicked is a brand. Wicked is the gateway drug of musical theatre, well it was 13 years ago for me at least. It’s hard to believe that it’s been almost 8 years since Elphaba flew through Louisville, but at long last Oz has...

What did our critic think of JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR at Drag Daddy Productions And The Chicken Coop? Every once in awhile, a show comes around that manages to wedge its self in the center of a triple vin-diagram, overlapping in critical acclaim, commercial success, and the hardest to crack, overwhelm...
