The Bridges of Madison County at Signature Theatre

Reviews August 25, 2023 Amanda N. Gunther

This is Albany… This is Buffalo… This is Shirlington… Not an original planned stop on the train that Francesca took with Bud on their way to Winterset, Iowa. But The Bridges of Madison County is stopping in Shirlington, Virginia for a few weeks (through September 17th 2023) as the main-stage musical opener to their 23/24 season. Jason Robert Brown’s haunting score wending through the rolling book by Marsha Norman, based on the novel by Robert James Waller,

1 Henry IV at The Folger Theatre

Reviews September 10, 2019 Liana Olear Alan Duda

“The heavens were all on fire, the earth did tremble.”

Shakespeare’s tale of the roles and
duties of fathers and sons is brought to life with energy and thoughtfulness in

installment of the Henriad tetralogy, the play deftly balances the personal and
political consequences of the deposition of Richard II.

The story of truth, humanity, reality, and life all swirled together through song and narrative perfection, unwinding, unraveling, and unfurling in The Max Theatre at Signature Theatre this winter? Did I tell you the story of Light Years?

Shakespeare In Love at Baltimore Center Stage

Reviews November 1, 2017 Cybele Pomeroy

If you love Shakespeare, you are likely to love SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE as a stage production even better than the movie by the same name. There’s more Shakespeare in it. In fact, it opens with a song version of a popular sonnet, just in case you don’t quite remember all 14 lines. Throughout the show, there are nods and references to a number of The Bard’s works, great swaths of quotations,

Review: Silver Belles at Signature Theatre

Reviews December 1, 2016 Amanda N. Gunther

Well, jingling Jesus, there ought to be a law that every Christmas musical start out with a coffin in Silver Ridge, Tennessee!
