Bernardo

★★★☆☆ An Orlando-born musical aims to capture the city’s resilience after the 2016 Pulse Nightclub shooting

★★★☆☆ Marc Bruni directs a sonically lush but somewhat disappointing concert version of Sondheim and Wheeler’s 19th century-set romantic romp

★★★★☆ The category is…reinvention. The 1982 Andrew Lloyd Webber–T.S. Eliot musical is moving to a fresh new beat.

★★★★☆ Actor-turned-playwright Marin Ireland, director Maria Dizzia, and creative consultant Anne Kauffman team up for a confessional drama

★★★☆☆ Directed by Trip Cullman and Ellenore Scott, the show puts two female singers, and their love story, in the spotlight

★★★★☆ Disabled actors Madison Ferris and Danny J. Gomez make beautiful music in Laura Winters’ delightful play

★★★★★ Liza Birkenmeier’s Obie Award–winning play paints a gorgeously impressionistic picture of a group of acquaintances in loneliness, contemplation, and despair
