Lyric Stage Company

Theater Review: “The Light” — Squeeze Play

This is a quicksilver drama about how a loving couple reacts as devastating bolts of lightning strike.

By: Bill Marx Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Dominic Carter, Jacqui Parker, Loy A. Webb, Lyric Stage Company, The Light, Yewande Odetoyinbo

Theater Review: “The Roommate” — Iowan Yin Yang

The moral of Jen Silverman’s yarn is straightforward enough: we are in a country where self-transformation has become an end in itself, re-invention a default response to omnipresent banality.

By: Bill Marx Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Jen Silverman, Lyric Stage Company, Spiro Veloudos, The Roommate

Theater Review: “The Wiz”: Not in Kansas Anymore

A delicious, comforting gumbo of a Wiz with all the right ingredients for an upbeat, entertaining evening (or afternoon) at the theater.

By: Evelyn Rosenthal Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Dawn M. Simmons, Lyric Stage Company, musical, The Wizard of Oz, Wiz

Theater Review: “Orlando” — Asking What Gender Really Means

There is much to love in this Lyric Stage Company production and I recommend it highly.

By: Roberta Silman Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: A. Nora Long, Lyric Stage Company, Orlando, Sarah-Ruhl, Virginia Woolf

Theater Review: “Road Show” — Sondheim’s Latest Gets Its Boston Premiere

Tony Castellanos as Wilson Mizner, with cast of "Road Show."

Road Show is unlikely to top anyone’s list of Sondheim favorites, it’s an often entertaining take on a quintessentially American story.

By: Evelyn Rosenthal Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Lyric Stage Company, Road Show, Stephen-Sondheim

Theater Review: “Hold These Truths” — A Vital Lesson

Hold These Truths is an invaluable reminder that alternative facts are not a new thing.

By: Bill Marx Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Asian-American internment, Benny Sato Ambush, Hold These Truths, Japanese internment, Jeanne Sakata, Jubilith Moore, Lyric Stage Company, Michael Hisamoto, World War II

Theater Review: “Souvenir” — An Intimate Gem

Spiro Veloudos and his talented cast has given us an evening in the theater when all that makes us human comes to the fore.

By: Roberta Silman Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Florence Foster Jenkins, Leigh Barrett, Lyric Stage Company, Souvenir, Spiro Veloudos, Will McGarrahan

Theater Review: “Barbecue” — Not Enough Meat on These Bones

Beneath Barbecue’s jokes there’s little but a chic cynicism.

By: Bill Marx Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Barbecue, Lyric Stage Company, Robert O’Hara, Summer l. Williams

Theater Review: The Lyric Stage Company is not “Afraid of Virginia Woolf”

Edward Albee’s bitter masterwork is a tough nut for a company to crack as well as a hard play to watch.

By: Arts Fuse Editor Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Kamela Dolinova, Lyric Stage Company, Paula Plum, Scott Edmiston, Steven Barkhimer, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf

Theater Review: “Mr. Burns” at the Lyric Stage — Not so Electrifying

Anne Washburn has a number of good ideas in this play, but the execution falls short.

By: Ian Thal Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: A Post-Electric Play, A. Nora Long, Anne-Washburn, Lyric Stage Company, Mr Burns, post-Apocalyptic, The Simpsons
