Much like a favorite television show or movie, this perennial production of “A Christmas Carol” is a delight to the eyes and ears and a wonderful Cleveland holiday tradition that should not be missed.

 WORTH NOTING: 

In order to bring attention to local productions of merit at theaters that are not on the Cleveland Critics Circle’s approved Equity Theater list, members of the Circle who attend a community or educational theater production that is perceived as of high quality will have the option of listing that production on the CCC blogsite.  These review(s) fall into that category.

Mark Horning

If you see only one Christmas themed show this season it really should be this one. The ensemble draws you into the action almost as if you are one of the family. It is a warm and comfortable feeling and should not be missed. Buy a ticket before they are all gone.

Some Like It Hot @ Connor Palace Theatre



Through November 24, 2024

Roy Berko

SOME LIKE IT HOT is full of dynamic modern and tap dancing, grand costumes and sets, lots of extended farce with doors slamming, double identities and physical shticks, enfolded in big jazzy full-orchestra sounds. If you enjoy musicals of a flashback to the old, just sit back and have an enjoyable experience.

As the title of the classic 1959 comedy sensation goes, "Some Like It Hot." But as the enthusiastic audience at Playhouse Square's Connor Palace attest, some don't mind it merely warmed over.

Mark Horning

This is a Broadway extravaganza that has it all...singing...dancing (including excellent tap dancing)...great acting...music...bright costumes...excellent lighting...crisp sound...and a mad cap ending during “Tip-Tap Trouble” complete with slamming doors. As long as you do not mind the changes made to your beloved movie you will be thoroughly entertained. Order your tickets NOW!

Recipe for joy? Mix stellar choreography, terrific dancers, witty lyrics and cool voices, and stir lightly. The result, a fabulous opening night at Cleveland’s Playhouse Square for Broadway’s Tony-award-winning musical Some Like It Hot.
