DEAR EVAN HANSEN theatre review by Thomas Routzong and Steven Skelley
For two nights, Broadway at the King Center and the American Theatre Guild present the national touring production of DEAR EVAN HANSEN in Melbourne, Florida. We have seen both the film version and the stage production of DEAR EVAN HANSEN and we find them equally disconcerting, insightful and inspiring. How can a story about two suicidal teens do all this? It helps to have fabulous dialogue, realistic characters and emotionally charged music that fully supports the evolution of the characters.

FATMAN - movie review by Steven Skelley

JUDY movie review by Frank Ioele
She's back! You know, Judy! And if you have to ask, "Judy who?" then you probably don't want to see this movie.

Boy Erased Movie Review by Curt Solash
The film makes clear the "conversion" practices depicted are still legal in the majority of states. Over 700,000 LGBTQ people have endured such "therapy." It is a surprise and a strong statement that such cruel, inhumane, dignity-robbing, shameful attempts to change a person's sexuality is futile at best and literally a crime at worst. <MORE>

ROCKETMAN – Movie Review By Steven Skelley
Days of sadness and days of joy with some wonderful music weaving its way throughout.
I saw the ELTON JOHN biopic ROCKETMAN as soon as I could. It is a musical, a biography, a creative re-imagining and a tribute to a musical prodigy who became a household name. It was not at all what I had imagined and more than I could have hoped for. It is a revealing of childhood trauma, business manipulation, romantic abuse, substance abuse and finally a man at peace with himself and his talent and in control of his demons. And the music is simply amazing. <MORE>
