Joseph & The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at Other Voices Theatre

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at Other Voices Theatre

Reviews July 31, 2026 Amanda N. Gunther

Red…yellow…green…brown…scarlet…black…don’t tempt me. I know all 29 colors by heart— Sara Bosworth of Lansdowne Middle School ensured that every kid in that production could say, sing, spell, and recite in order the colors of Joseph’s coat in the spring of 1998. I’ve been married to this production for almost as many years as the coat has colors. And seeing my umpteenth production from church basements to national touring houses and everywhere in-between— Joseph &

The Wild Party at Other Voices Theatre

Reviews October 15, 2025 Amanda N. Gunther

It always pays to raise the roof. No limits. No boundaries. No compromise. Other Voices Theatre is certainly pushing their boundaries, breaking their limits, and giving it their all for their current production of Andrew Lippa’s The Wild Party. Directed by Diane Causer with Musical Direction by Sheila Melendez and Choreography by Amanda Patten, this musical is one heck of a bumpy and wild ride, so buckle up, put your bugle beads on and get ready for one intense evening of theatre.

Songs For A New World at Other Voices Theatre

Reviews May 15, 2025 Amanda N. Gunther

It’s about one moment— in this show, it’s that tragically beautiful heartbreaking moment near the end— it’s about one second— maybe when sexy Mrs. Claus saunters into the clinic? But you didn’t know— that you have to go— to Other Voices Theatre to see Songs For A New World, appearing as the penultimate show of their 2024/2025 season. Directed by Ashley Gerhardt with Musical Direction by Marci Shegogue, this song-cycle show, by the incomparably talented Jason Robert Brown,

SpongeBob: The Musical at Other Voices Theatre

Reviews August 5, 2023 Amanda N. Gunther

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?

SpongeBob! The musical!? That’s right, gentle fish-folk…or land mammals…or whoever you are that needs a good laugh and a feel-good night out at the theatre? (And that is 100% everyone right now, so everyone should come out to the theatre.) That ridiculous and absorbent, delightful yellow sponge from Nickelodeon has his own stage musical! (And it’s not new-new…it debuted back in 2016!) But it sure is splashing onto the stage at Other Voices Theatre!

All Shook Up at Other Voices Theatre

Reviews May 8, 2023 Jim & Ashley Gerhardt

All Shook Up is one of the fantastically fun, fluffy, and flashy hallmarks of the early-to-mid 2000’s big jukebox musicals, and it’s difficult not to come away from the show with some burnin’ love and a couple of jiggly-wiggly, hip-shaking moves made just for your best pair of blue suede shoes. The show originally debuted on Broadway in 2005 with a 6-month run, and it features a cross-section of intermingled love stories in a small mid-western 1950’s town told to the iconic music of The King (Elvis Presley,
