Waitress Playing at the Bass Concert Hall
Waitress The Musical is currently playing at the Bass Concert Hall through January 27. In the review posted on ATXgossip’s Instagram account, it’s heralded as “one of the best touring productions ever seen.”
When you see it, be prepared for a blast from the past. Richard Kline is in the production. If you’re old enough to know the show “Three’s Company,” you’ll recognize him as the somewhat annoying neighbor Larry.

The current family production playing at the ZACH Theatre is This Girl Laughs, This Girl Cries, This Girl Does Nothing. The modern-day fairy tale features an imaginative blend of creative puppetry, live music, and fantastical storytelling. It’s a story of family and friendship you won’t want to miss!

Not quite so family friendly (this show is 17 and up), Hedwig and the Angry Inch opened on the main stage this week and will run through March 3. We’re checking out the show this weekend so keep an eye on our Instagram account for a review of the production.
