Evita at Just Off Broadway

Reviews November 6, 2024 Amanda N. Gunther

Just listen to that! The voice of Argentina! They are loved and adored! Just Off Broadway throwing their hats into the ring for this autumnal season’s offering of Evita. Directed by Jason Crawford, with Musical Direction by Patty DeLisle, and Choreography by Katie Noppinger, this Tim Rice & Andrew Lloyd Webber operatic musical (with no spoken dialogue) comes to Epiphany Lutheran Church via Just Off Broadway for two weekends only this November and it has its moments and it has its style.

Cats at Cockpit in Court

Reviews July 20, 2024 Amanda N. Gunther

Turn your face toward Cockpit in Court…let your memory lead you…open up enter in (to the F. Scott Black Theatre inside the Robert & Eleanor Romadka College Center) you will find there…the meaning of what happiness is… and a new show…will begin. If it was mystical the first time, magical the second, it will certainly be memorable, magnificent— truly Jellicle— the third as Bambi Johnson (who has become synonymous with Andrew Lloyd Webber and T.S.

Bonnie & Clyde at Just Off Broadway

Reviews October 18, 2023 Amanda N. Gunther

A farm-boy from Telico. A waitress from Rowena. Gun-sling, song-singing, they’ll make you feel alive.

But only if you’ve got your tickets to see the at Just Off Broadway’s Bonnie & Clyde.

‘Cause ain’t nuthin’ rhyme with ‘Clyde & Bonnie!’

Serving as the Baltimore area premiere of the historical-gangster musical, Bonnie & Clyde offers a wicked alternative to the dozen or so production of Sweeney Todd happening in and around the area this autumn season.

Matilda Jr. at Cockpit Court Jesters

Reviews July 11, 2023 Amanda N. Gunther

They are revolting children! Living revolting times! They sing revolting songs! Using revolting rhymes! And you’ve got to get your tickets to see them do their thing— they’re stupendous, they’re great— they are REVOLTING! Only in a Roald Dahl musical could you use an adjective like revolting as a pride-of-place badge to describe a wildly talented bunch of kids as they bounce all around the stage with exuberant energy and smashing voices. Which musical is that you ask?

Godspell at Peace Players

Reviews April 15, 2023 Amanda N. Gunther

“When your trust is all but shattered; when your faith is all but killed. You can give up bitter and battered or you can slowly start to build.”

I like to start most reviews, if I can help it, with a hook-line, usually some clever twist on one of the show’s iconic lyrics or themes, but this one is just a direct line-pull from “Beautiful City” because it’s what co-founders Albert J. Boeren and Lisa Boeren have created.

The Sound of Music at St. Gabriel Miracle Players

Reviews May 12, 2022 Amanda N. Gunther

St. Gabriel Miracle Players is alive!! With The Sound of Music! After two long years of waiting (and growing up!) the seven sweet von Trapp children are ready to sing their hearts out, and while they’ve grown a little taller and a little older (waiting for that pesky Covid to die down and let live musical theatre safely return to the stage) they’re bringing all the iconic songs of stage and screen to heartwarming life,

Joseph & The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at Just Off Broadway

Reviews October 22, 2019 Mike Zellhofer

17th
century poet Francis Quarles wrote, “Judge not the play before the play is
done.” Great advice for anyone seeing their umpteenth version of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,
especially if you are seeing Just Off Broadway’s latest offering. I don’t care how many times you’ve seen Joseph…, Director Tammy Oppel will show
you that you don’t know Joe! Oppel brings us a delightfully staged version of
the show unlike any that I have seen.

Jesus Christ Superstar at Just Off Broadway

Reviews October 12, 2018 Amanda N. Gunther

Roll on up for the price is down, come on in for this show’s in town— see with your eyes— what this company’s done— hear with your ears— as they sing as one. Won’t you go see— their Jesus Christ? Won’t you go hear their Jesus Christ? That’s Jesus Christ Superstar, the Andrew Lloyd Webber raging rock musical version of select sections of the new testament up to and including the crucifixion of Jesus.

Company at Just Off Broadway

Reviews October 15, 2017 Andrew Worthington

Phone rings, door chimes, and in comes a charming and comical production of Company, Sondheim’s musical comedy, presented by Just-Off Broadway in Baltimore! Company, one of the first successful Broadway musicals written about adult themes and relationships, was the winner of 1971 Tony Awards for Best Book, Best Score, Best Lyrics, and Best Musical. The themes of bachelorhood, marriage, and how to form and maintain relationships are enduringly relevant more than three decades later.
