“Little Shop of Horrors” at Colonial is about as good as a musical gets

by Berkshire On StageJuly 10, 2016

Here’s a show that has it all: great cast, fun songs, twisted plot, a man (and woman) eating plant and swift direction that keeps things moving along at a brisk pace. Critic Larry Murray loved it.

Review: A feisty “Fiorello!” beckons musical lovers to Berkshire Theatre Group

by Berkshire On StageJune 22, 2016

A very timely musical from 50+ years ago, “Fiorello!” and its youthful cast attacks both corrupt business-as-usual politics and the struggle of the working stiffs with good humor and great songs.

This critic loved “I Hate Hamlet” at the Dorset Theatre Festival, and so will you

by Berkshire On StageAugust 30, 2015

One line zingers, swashbuckling swordplay, the ghost of a long dead actor and a young actor not sure of which direction to point his life make this a fun evening of comedy and theatre.
