by Christine Sarkes Ten Thousand Things Theater’s second-only musical, The Most Happy Fella, is a soaring, joyful and wildly entertaining production of Frank Loesser’s 1956 musical adaption. Each player’s performance is superb and they are impressively multi-talented, portraying multiple characters, playing instruments, singing and manipulating the spare props that inhabit the performance space. If you’ve never…

It is a truth, universally acknowledged, that a “Christmas at Pemberley” play performed at the Jungle Theater, must be, in fact, delightful. For the third year in a row, Jungle Theater presents a Christmas tale set in the world of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice by Lauren Gunderson and Margot Melcon. Playing now through December 29th, Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley reunites much of the original 2017 cast and creative team for a rousing, hysterical, and joyous affair.
Fifteen years after the original film Mean Girls (2004), Tina Fey has brought a new cache of quotable lines, snarky jokes, and “fetch” stories to the stage. Playing now through October 13th at the Orpheum Theatre in Minneapolis, Mean Girls is a joyous, PG-13, examination of the high school experience.
Playing now through August 25th, Guys and Dolls at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis finds a vibrant new life in 2019; it might just be the most fun you have at the theatre this year.
