REVIEW: Unleashing delirious delights of The Rocky Horror Picture Show in La Habra
This interactive experience of the cult classic is a must-attend event that will transport you to a world of delightful madness
So there I was, folks, in the heart of La Habra at this tiny local theater tucked away inside a historic train depot. And what was happening? Oh, just your average SOLD OUT PERFORMANCE of a mind-bending, booty-shaking, corset-sporting extravaganza known as the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
The atmosphere crackled with “antici… pation”, like an electric shock from Dr. Frank-N-Furter's lab. Let me tell you, dear readers, attending this shindig was more fun than a barrel of transsexual aliens. (more)

REVIEW: Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat at La Mirada Theatre
The La Mirada Theater for the Performing Arts is closing out its 2022-2023 season with “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.”
If, like me, the only version of the musical you’ve seen is the 1999 straight-to-video one with Donny Osmond and you thought it was a bit too cheesy and campy for your taste, cringe not! Yeah, it’s still a bit cheesy and a bit campy, but seeing a live version, especially THIS VERSION, somehow just works in a way I didn’t expect it would.
I’m not going to wait until the end, this time, to tell you that it’s a must-see show. (more)
