The Bodyguard The Musical – Theatre Review: National Touring Production, ASU Gammage, Tempe
Word of warning. If you arrive at the last minute to find your seat in the vast ASU Gammage auditorium for The Bodyguard The Musical, prepare to be startled. Without warning or even a voice-over introductory announcement, the show suddenly begins, and it begins with an unexpected boom, a gun shot, so shocking, you may […]

It happened last year with Stray Cat Theatre’s American Idiot. It’s happened again, this time at Phoenix Theatre. The 1992 film may have flopped (and […]

The Man Who Invented Christmas – Film Review
It’s not unusual to read that the way we celebrate Christmas today is the way classic Victorian era author Charles Dickens invented it in his 1843 novella. A Christmas Carol.
