Reviews Patrick O'Brien 6/25/25 Reviews Patrick O'Brien 6/25/25

Summer superficiality: “42 Balloons”; “Diana”; and “Titanique”

These three summer shows don’t dive too deeply, but does any one come out on top?

Reviews Barry Reszel 11/21/24 Reviews Barry Reszel 11/21/24

Can’t keep such excellence a secret: ‘The Secret Garden’ at Theo

Reviews Patrick O'Brien 6/22/24 Reviews Patrick O'Brien 6/22/24

Though welcomely aromatic, Theo Ubique’s ‘Baked’ could stand more time in the oven
Reviews Barry Reszel 9/18/23 Reviews Barry Reszel 9/18/23
