Review: Grand Rapids Ballet's 'Peter Pan' is a Spectacular Achievement of Artistry

Whatever one might expect from Peter Pan, the Grand Rapids Ballet delivered it—and more—in their tremendous production of this utterly magical contemporary storybook ballet. True to the original 1902 story written by J.M. Barrie about the boy who refuses grow up, it’s a tale particularly suited to being told largely without words and primarily through movement.

Review: Farmers Alley Elevates 'Dial M For Murder' to Thrilling New Heights

Review: 'Moulin Rouge: The Musical!' is a Spectacular Fairy Tale of a Show

It begins before it begins. On a stage artfully designed to look like a combination of a Valentine’s Day card, a red-light district, and a boudoir, a well-dressed man emerges, staring out into the audience. Beautiful women in minimal dress bend, gaze, and arch.

From Annie to Executive: Meghan Distel and Broadway Grand Rapids

At seven, maybe eight, Meghan Distel saw Annie. “I felt this connection to the actors,” she said. “Looking up at that stage, I could see myself.” It kindled in her not only the excitement shared by so many other children who saw that show, but an understanding: she would make theater part of her life.

A Myth for the Modern Age: 'Eurydice' at Opera Grand Rapids

First staged in October of 1600, Jacopo Peri’s “Euridice” is the oldest surviving opera. Peri, in sympathy with the majority of Florence’s musicians and men of letters, found inspiration in the spare and resonant stories of the ancient world.

Not Your Mother's Nutcracker

Since its premiere in December 1892, The Nutcracker has become a holiday staple, as closely associated with Christmas as are poinsettias, silver tinsel, and mistletoe. Who could forget the clockwork movements of the doll, or the battle with the Mouse King, or the dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy? Or, for that matter, the directionally-challenged stripper who winds up at a wild holiday party?

Review: Farmers Alley Theatre Breathes New Life Into 'A Christmas Carol'

What’s old is new again just in time for Christmas at Farmers Alley Theatre. Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol may have been adapted so many times that every person you know has their own favorite version; and you may think there’s no need for any other iteration of this beloved tale. However, the play currently in production at Farmers Alley Theatre in Kalamazoo may convince you otherwise.
