Regional: Sing Street in Boston
Called "the Joyus New Musical that Lights You Up," Huntington Theatre Company's production of Sing Street is electric and lighting up Boston this fall.

Phone rings, door chimes, in comes Company — with a revised lens on an old favorite. Here's my confession: I did not grow up with the works of Steven Sondheim. While that's mostly a story for another day, it's important for the context of how I perceived Company in its newest, gender-swapped revival on Broadway. … Continue reading Broadway: Company
