Review: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
🌟VERDICT'S PICK 🌟It’s rare to find a musical that toys with perfection—when it happens, it’s something truly special. Opening in October of 2024 at The Ambassadors Theatre in London’s West End following two critically acclaimed runs at the Southwark Playhouse, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a masterpiece in storytelling.

Review: Maybe Happy Ending
“Why love?” is the question that bookends Maybe Happy Ending, and is the driving emotional force of the show. In what was one of the most crowded seasons in the history of new musicals opening on Broadway, Maybe Happy Ending, a new musical by Will Aronson and Hue Park, has stood out from the very beginning.

Review: Just In Time
Bringing a new show directly to Broadway is a risky move. Many times, it results in an unpolished mess, but the rare exceptions can turn into unexpected gems.
That rare gem is Just In Time, the brand new bio-jukebox musical telling the story of Bobby Darin that opened at the Circle in the Square this spring.

Review: Gypsy
Curtain up, light the lights—Gypsy is back. Again. Revived on Broadway almost every fifteen years starring the biggest female belter at the time, New York audiences are no strangers to Gypsy. However, this most recent production seemed to promise something different—but it didn’t deliver. Audra McDonald, a six-time Tony Award winner, makes history as the first woman of color to play Rose, one of the most revered roles in musical theatre history.

Review: Operation Mincemeat
🌟VERDICT’S PICK🌟
God, this show is brilliant! Opening at the Golden Theatre in March, the highly anticipated, twelve-times-extended transfer of Operation Mincemeat is the most delightfully charming show on Broadway. Telling the true story of the MI5 deception plot of the same name which involved planting a corpse with fake documents in Spain to misdirect the German forces, it has become a sensation on both sides of the Atlantic.
