REVIEW: In Love Never Dies at the Academy, He’s Baa-aack

There’s little here about love, but the show suggests that obsession lasts forever.

The audience loved this musical Shakespeare send-up. So did I—sometimes.

A fine cast, expert conducting, and beautiful designs are hallmarks of Opera Philadelphia’s production.

One of the supreme classics of musical theater seen here in a brilliantly theatrical staging.

Songs and spectacle win our hearts in this Rodgers and Hammerstein classic.

In this extraordinary sensory experience, the human dimension sometimes fades into the background.

Every entertaining minute is awash in excess in a show that practically defines “guilty pleasure.”

A beautiful production and a reminder of what brought many of us to opera in the first place.

The heroine of Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey’s musical imagines her life on two paths. If only even one of them led to a better show.
