Written by TIM BUGBEE Posted September 23, 2019 Filed Under: Fotobom, MUSIC, Reviews

★★★★★

 

Before there’s any spoken dialogue in The Humans, Stephen Karam’s 2015 Tony Award-winning Best Play, there are those eerie sounds.

PIECE OF HER HEART: A NIGHT WITH JANIS JOPLIN ON TOUR

★★★☆☆

THE BEST YOU’VE EVER SEEN: EUAN MORTON BRINGS HEDWIG TO BOSTON

Written by CHRISTOPHER EHLERS Posted May 23, 2017 Filed Under: A+E, Performing Arts
