Theatre Review: HAMILTON Returns to The Fabulous Fox
Hamilton returns to the Fabulous Fox Theatre with a burst of energy – showcasing dynamic, fast-paced, and witty musical numbers. Though it may seem unconventional to combine hip-hop, rap, and Broadway musical theater in a story centered on its titular founding father, Hamilton—with its themes of love, loss, and duty—has quickly become a beloved fixture […]
Interview: Nikki Glaser brings The Good Girl Tour to The Fox Theatre on April 27
Last time I spoke with standup comedian Nikki Glaser, she was prepping for a big New Year’s Eve show at Stifel Theatre. The show would serve as a sendoff to 2022 and welcome in 2023. Since then, not much has changed for Glaser, other than she is still one of the top standup comics in […]
‘Beetlejuice: The Musical’ Playing at The Fox Theater Through October 22nd
It is with increasing regularity that movies/films are being adapted into stage plays. Some are masterpieces like The Lion King, The Producers, and Spamalot. Others come along – I won’t name and shame – and they drop the ball completely. It might be because they simply rehash the source material and add a few jaunty […]
Concert Review: Ringo Starr and His All-Starr Band at Fox Theatre

Theatre Review: See RENT This Weekend at the Fabulous Fox
The 20th Anniversary Tour of RENT is back this weekend at The Fabulous Fox. Going on almost 25 years since the show’s debut in 1996, Jonathan Larson’s message is still as strong as it was back then – and perhaps more relevant than ever.

Theatre Review: JERSEY BOYS at The Fabulous Fox – Oh, What a Night!
Some of the most fun musicals out there are jukebox musicals. You go to hear music that you love – while being entertained by a fun story that pieces all of the songs together. What I adore about Jersey Boys, the story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, is that the musical lets the […]
