REVIEW: "Make Believe" at New Jersey Repertory
by Gary Wien
published 2025-02-21

(LONG BRANCH, NJ) -- World premiere plays can be tricky. Sometimes a few tweaks here and there can completely change a play for the better or for the worse, and I tend to give premieres a bit of leeway. You're not just reviewing the play itself, but the play's potential as well.

Mystic Pizza is a Delicious Slice of Theater at Paper Mill Playhouse

by Karen Nowosad
published 2025-02-11
A new musical, Mystic Pizza, is giving theater goers very enjoyable entertainment at the Paper Mill Playhouse. At the performance I attended, people were singing along to some familiar tunes, smiling and applauding enthusiastically. Mystic Pizza is based on the classic 1988 movie of the same name starring Julia Roberts. This production adapts from that movie with a book written by Sandy Rustin. If you are a fan of the movie, you will see some changes, but the basic story remains intact.
