Jahmaul Bakare has never played a god before, never been on a national Broadway Tour before for that matter either but he's now doing both with Once On This Island, winner of the 2018 Tony Award for Best Revival of a Musical. Bakare plays Agwe, the god of water, in this...
Jersey Boys (2006) is not only the best jukebox musical ever created, but also the best musical, other than Hamilton, of the 21st century. There is no show so slick, so lovable, so inventive. How could it miss with its resonant raft of hit tunes from the Four Seasons that...
