“Something Rotten” is the hysterically funny story of the Bottom brothers and their rise to meteoric fame, against none other than Shakespeare. This tale takes place in the 1590’s. With similarities in humor to “Spamalot”, this British farce set to music is so funny every minute, that I couldn’t wait to see more.

Extra! Extra! Read all about it. The musical… that is Chicago celebrates 20 wonderful years as America’s longest-running musical revival & the longest-running American musical in Broadway history. This dynamic production recently made its way to the Opera House at Kennedy Center in our Nation’s Capital and we could not wait to witness a musical that deals with fun, murder and mayhem. With Grammy award winning superstar Brandy Norwood as the incredible Roxie, she has to deliver some moxie to the DC audience. Here’s my review of Chicago and all that jazz!
On Super Bowl Sunday, Shi-Queeta Lee’s Tailgate Drag Brunch at Bethesda Blues & Jazz served up grits, wings and a huge helping of YASSSS!
“A Gentleman’s Guide to Love & Murder” is a guide to a great night of theatre. It’s a testament to how well written and thought out a show is; if you delete all of the musical numbers, you would still have a fantastic play. Having said that, even the best show with the wrong cast can be awful. I was lucky enough to have seen this triumph on Broadway, so I was expecting greatness and this cast delivers.
Into the Woods presented by Fiasco Theatre is so innovative and well acted that I was immediately swept up in the action and transported to a fantasy world of witches, bakers, princesses & giants. From the moment you step into the Eisenhower Theater and see the fairy tale before your very eyes, you will know that you are in for a retelling than the original.

The newest production of Peter Pan sets the bar even higher as the world’s first 360-degree CGI theatre creates a new level of excitement never achieved onstage – until now.
The national tour of the Tony Award-winning, pop musical, Pippin takes up residency at Baltimore’s Hippodrome. The circus-inspired staging of the revival breathes new life into the book and score of the 1972 hit. The original cast left large shoes to fill, with Ben Vereen as The Leading Player and John Rubenstein in the title role.
The hype had been mounting about the sensational “Newsies” soon coming to The National Theatre June 9 – 21st. Its arrival was indeed a hit. As Newsies was based on a 1992 Disney film, the crowd included many nicely dressed children who were excited to visit the theatre. If Disney Theatrical Sponsorship isn’t enough, it might be notable to mention that Newsies won a Tony on Broadway.
