Theatre

Here you will find reviews of local theatre productions the world round, with a particular focus on the Greater Toronto Area and the San Francisco Bay Area. We also review many "Digital Theatre" productions — live recordings of theatre — and explore how this new medium presents theatre productions, for better or worse. We especially focus on NTLive, RSC On Screen, and Globe Theatre On Screen productions. And we have a soft spot for modern Shakespeare productions.

Heathers: The Musical

Debbie Zhou / July 18, 2016

Heathers: The Musical at Sydney Opera House

Heathers: The Musical features a great score and talented cast but the flashy direction falters, making it too often vapid.
