Merrily We Roll Along
A delight from beginning to end and from end to beginning, this show is a must see.
RENT
by ERIKA SASSEVILLE I did contemplate reviewing Inver Grove Heights Community Theatre’s production of RENT with a simple, “Everything was perfect. Period.” but that would be a disservice to everyone, since this show deserves to be gushed over in long-form. The show IS perfection, and you only have one more opportunity to catch it (Sunday,…

If you like R&B, history, or both, then you’ll love Ain’t Too Proud: The Life and Times of the Temptations.
Moulin Rouge! The Musical!
Moulin Rouge! the Broadway production is so exciting this reviewer hopes it will run for 50 years. It’s a sensual ravishment absolutely deserving of the positive audience reaction and your trip downtown. Spectacular, spectacular!

Nuts, I know, but at least I finally got there. And it seemed like fortuitous timing that I should finally see the much-praised company at their first…
Beauty and the Beast
By ELLEN FERRY. The quaint, intimate space at the Chanhassen Dinner Theatre can barely contain the dynamism of its latest production, Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. For the first time in more than ten years, the beloved fairytale has returned to the charming west-suburban locale. The March 11th opener did not disappoint. Three-dimensional costuming and…
