The critics are still trying to get to all the shows that opened last week, and we’re still trying to collate all the reviews; we’re glad that we don’t have to drive to all the theatres to do our part!
With so many shows playing around south Florida, how can anyone pick just one?
Well, we don’t usually play favorites, but this week, THE show to see is one that’s just opening: the Project [theatre]’s immersive Urban Apparel. Renting an actual store, they have created a show about the people working in an ultra-hip store. The Miami Herald delves into it for us, but the scale of the project is so impressive from every angle, we have to declare this one “The Hot Ticket.”
Here's what's playing on the scene this weekend.
