Review: DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS at the Stratford Festival is a Hilarious Romp
by Lauren Gienow - May 30, 2025

Last night, Director Tracey Flye’s production of DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS opened at the Stratford Festival’s Avon Theatre. One of two musicals mounted at the Festival this season, this production is paired well with its counterpart, ANNIE. As musical comedies go, they simply could not be more different from one another tonally. Patrons who are seeking something edgier or who perhaps have a more cynical outlook on life than optimistic Annie, will enjoy the hijinks of Lawrence and Freddy. I personally suggest seeing both musicals though. After all, as is evidenced in this production, we all contain multitudes.

REVIEW: WOMEN ON THE VERGE OF A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN Is A Madcap Musical About Love And Obsession
by Jade Kops - May 16, 2025

The mental health risk of misguided love plays out in the crazy comedy of WOMEN ON THE VERGE OF A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN. David Yazbek (music and lyrics) and Jeffrey Lane (book)  gave Pedro Almodovar’s 1988 film of the same name the musical theatre treatment in 2010 resulting in a madcap merging of Spanish inspired music and farcical comedy with an 1980’s aesthetic which is all right is director Alexander Berlage’s wheelhouse.
