Announcing the cast of tick, tick...BOOM!

Because Erin Driscoll had to apologetically drop out of MetroStage's next production at the last minute to pursue another musical elsewhere, we are excited to announce the full cast of tick, tick...BOOM! who will all begin rehearsals soon.

Stephen Gregory Smith as Jon











Felicia Curry as Susan











Matt Pearson as Michael

Upcoming ad in Washington City Paper for tick, tick...BOOM!

Here's a look at the ad that will be in Washington City Paper's Washington Theatre League Centerspread on Friday, August 31st.

VOTE to make MetroStage the BEST

With our new season already in full swing with the crowd-pleasing and critically-acclaimed Three Sistahs, we'd like to acknowledge DC Theatre Scene's Audience Choice Awards for the glorious 06/07 season.

Three shows from MetroStage (Girl in the Goldfish Bowl, Bricktop and The Musical of Musicals: The Musical!) are in the running and we'd like to encourage everyone to vote for us and help make MetroStage's popularity rise to the forefront of DC's top-notch quality entertainment.

What the Critics Are Saying About Three Sistahs

"Writer-director Thomas W. Jones II doesn't write scenes so much as he creates poetry, riffing on themes in heightened language that eventually blossoms into song. . . William Hubbard's score dabbles in everything from doo-wop to gospel to blues. . . Most of the numbers are torchy, introspective ballads and performed well by Mitchell, whose powerful voice has a sweet edge." - Nelson Pressley, Washington Post

"Three Sistahs is lovelier the second time around at MetroStage with Felicia Curry as a replacement. . . The story by Janet Pryce hits upon universal conflicts in everyone's life. . . Thomas W. Jones II provided emotionally moving lyrics which turn poetic many times. . . One of the few family shows around that is enjoyable and sometimes therapeutic regarding family interactions. It is highly recommended." - Bob Anthony, All Arts Review 4U

"The trio belt out a score of heartfelt gospel/ pop/ blues tunes. . . Staging a floor show, [the Bradshaw girls] grimace, gesticulate and shout out dialogue as they rocket around Jonathan Williamson's [homey] set, acting out childhood memories. The show's quieter moments are its best. . . An enjoyable mixed bag: part urban theater circuit personified by Tyler Perry; and part kitchen-sink drama, reminiscent of Lorraine Hansberry but set to roof-raising music." - Patrick Folliard, Washington Blade

"Mitchell is in fine voice here, and her smooth sense of dignity is impressive. The "sistahs", played by Curry and Fox, sing well and each has a number of solo moments that work very nicely. However, it is when two or more voices are joined together that the score really takes off. . . Erin Nugent's new costume designs seem as specific as to time, place and character as in the original, and her costumes are very good indeed." -Brad Hathaway, Potomac Stages

"The soul-stirring tonality of these three Divas, I mean Sistahs, will set your toes to tapping, your hands to clapping, even tears to flowing while guiding you to rhythms you didn't even know you had. . . Where else can you hear some of the finest voices to grace a stage belt out to the rafters, crest and moan in solo or blend together as one? What these women can do to caress a lyric and jam together in a tribal fusion of gospel, funk and jazz must be seen to be believed. . . Three Sistahs is a fitting tribute to a timeless classic, a reflection of the abundant artistry at MetroStage, and just a damn good time." -Debbie Minter Jackson, DC Theatre Scene
