by Melissa Giordano - Sep 2, 2015


It is a thrill to see the musical Saturday Night Fever, based on the movie starring John Travolta, included on The Gateway Theatre's summer roster. The gorgeous Long Island venue has a habit of getting Broadway caliber casts and, to no surprise, this one did not disappoint. The Keith Andrews directed company was absolutely superb as they seamlessly performed the iconic score featuring, as we know, the music from the Bee Gees.

BWW Review: Mad Men Goes Musical With SOMEONE TO BELONG TO
by Jonathan Mandell - Aug 16, 2013


If 'Someone To Belong To,' a musical about advertising copywriters in the 1960s, seems to be capitalizing on the popularity of 'Mad Men,' the story behind this Fringe show is actually far more interesting than that.

BWW Reviews: ROCK OF AGES Blasts Des Moines Audiences Back to the 80's
by Brooke Bridenstine - Apr 29, 2013

BWW Reviews: ROCK OF AGES Hits You With Its Best Shot
by Harmony Wheeler - Jan 24, 2013


True to form, "Rock of Ages" provides "nothing but a good time." Just the right combination of musical theatre storytelling and rock n' roll partying, "Rock of Ages" features a perfectly balanced sound system, just loud enough to blow your mind, but not loud enough to blow your eardrums. The innovative production includes awesome audience interaction, with shout outs to the local audience and fun recognition of traditional Broadway musical theatregoers.

BWW Reviews: Poop Jokes And White Snake Songs - ROCK OF AGES Opens at the McCallum Theatre
by David Green - Nov 24, 2012


The McCallum Theatre kicked off its Broadway Series last night with the national tour of the wildly popular Jukebox Musical ROCKS OF AGES to a sell-out opening night crowd. The McCallum once again proved itself to be the near perfect road house for a musical - it is large enough to accommodate a big touring production with the intimacy of a Broadway house. ROCK OF AGES has a score that begs the audience to sing along --- in fact, many of the audience members did jutst that … sang along, in something akin to a Rocky Horror Picture Show experience - and the classic 80's tunes follow you out to the parking lot and for a good 24 hours beyond. The score is the best part of the show. The book is frivolous, formula and all too predictable with far, far too many "poop jokes" and "sexual innuendos" along the way, It is wall to wall 1980's kitsch --- similar to the other Broadway 80's throwback "The Wedding Singer". But "The Wedding Singer" does it much better.

by Keith Gray - Nov 15, 2012
