Review: ONCE at Roma Musical TheaterJune 7, 2024This review would be awkwardly short but it's extremely difficult to put the feeling into words as this performance shows us how powerful the musical experience can be. I loved of course the lyrics, the plot, the characters, but, oh well, the music here is second to none. Period.
Review: LAZARUS at Capitol Musical Theatre, WroclawMay 30, 2024Everything invites you to go with the flow. The music, lights, and atmosphere absorb you into the deep cosmos of Bowie's world. It’s like you’re soaring through the air and doing it without effort. When music plays, it seems like gravity doesn't exist. Great vocals combined with the ease and lights make the experience intense and smooth.
Review: APPETITE FOR CHERRIES at Teatr Muzyczny PoznanApril 10, 2024We all love love stories, even those with Unhappy Ending and there is something comforting with the feeling of moving forward and turning pages. Agnieszka Osiecka was not the most optimistic writer but I love her texts, full of the virtuosity of the word itself and this bitter-magical taste of vulnerability and courage to live.
Review: COUGAR, THE MUSICAL at The Kujawsko-Pomorski Music Theatre, TorunMarch 18, 2024What did our critic think of COUGAR, THE MUSICAL at The Kujawsko-Pomorski Music Theatre, Torun? This theater is different, founded 10 years ago, and offers a small, intimate, and friendly ambiance. With 150 seats on the top floor of an old building in a charming old town, it creates an atmosphere of a welcoming and safe space where laughter is normal, the actors are close not only in their physical dimension. As far as I know, the repertoire is tailored to the off-broadway model and to be frank, I can't wait to explore more.
Review: TICK TICK... BOOM! at RomaFebruary 29, 2024What did our critic think of TICK TICK... BOOM! at Roma? Some discoveries will change your life forever. My life was transformed when I first tried a date caramel made with three ingredients: dates, peanut butter, and hot water.
Review: PIPPIN at Teatr Muzyczny PoznanFebruary 14, 2024What did our critic think of PIPPIN at Teatr Muzyczny Poznan? What emerges is a splendid spectacle, a memorable performance that transcends eras. It's like a symphony of the ages, a kaleidoscope of nostalgia and fantasy, like an unexpected piece of sweet chocolate in a reality pie.
Review: A MASCULINE DRAMA at Teatr Wspolczesny WroclawJanuary 23, 2024What did our critic think of A MASCULINE DRAMA at Teatr Wspolczesny Wroclaw? We love to generalize, to put an individual in a common box labeled with all the qualities, or most often with faults, and then, let's close the box and make sure that nothing can come out. Marcin Libera fights with a lot of generalizations in Teatr Wspolczesny Wroclaw's new production.
Review: WE WILL ROCK YOU at Roma Musical TheaterJanuary 18, 2024If you want to see an ultra production with lasers, fireworks, and a wow effect you are in the right place! Roma Musical Theater invites you for an evening that will stir your bones and your soul; a well-directed performance designed for you to beg “Encore!”. The set design (by Mariusz Napierala) is made to impress with all the modern touches, screens, moving objects, and stairs (my personal favorite in a major musical production), it's all there! From the first second, the characters are well placed, from the dancers with stunning plastic hair to the individuals in the bohemian/anarchy groups.
Review: A CHRISTMAS CAROL at AvatarDecember 19, 2023What did our critic think of A CHRISTMAS CAROL at Avatar? It’s a delicious mishmash of dance, classic literature, and Christmas spirit. This adaptation of a great classic, complex and revised is a difficult show to summarize. Rather, it is a trigger to reflect, rethink and adapt. The first surprise was the skill level of the non-professional actors. Scrooge (Marcin Dawiec), Marley (Katarzyna Pawarska), and the entire dance and acting troupe were very convincing.
Review: CATCH ME IF YOU CAN at Lodz Musical TheaterNovember 6, 2023What did our critic think of CATCH ME IF YOU CAN at Lodz Musical Theater? This show is pure entertainment, it's fast, colorful, bright, and easy. A good time and opportunity to familiarize yourself with a musical theater that is still not very popular (whip whip) in Poland. The show is comfortable, warm, light and funny.
