After seeing a production of Lucy Prebble’s The Effectin Orlando earlier this year, I found myself unable to resist conducting my own little theatrical experiment when it popped up in South Florida at the Lake Worth Playhouse’s Stonzek Theatre. And I’m describing it that way because The Effect is a play about an experiment—specifically, a clinical trial of a powerful new antidepressant.

Moulin Rouge! has arrived at the Adrienne Arsht Center for a limited Miami run, playing the Ziff Ballet Opera House through Sunday, March 22, 2026, as part of the Broadway in Miami season. This show is a production that can coast on recognition, on title alone, on the audience’s affection for a beloved film, and the score that’s stitched together from songs they already know. Moulin Rouge!, directed by Alex Timbers, choreographed by Sonya Tayeh, and orchestrated by Justine Levine, is more than that. What makes this stage adaptation so exhilarating is that it consistently reaches for something larger than its format. At its best, it feels enormous and lush and wounded and alive.
This past Saturday, Zoetic Stage’s masterful production of Merrily We Roll Alongbrought me one step closer to realizing my personal dream of seeing every Stephen Sondheim musical. Famously, the show wasn’t initially one of the composer’s biggest hits and was in fact a rather notorious flop, closing after 44 previews and only 16 regular performances. Since then, though, Merrily has found somewhat more success, most recently in a major Broadway revival that took home four awards at last year’s Tony’s.

The “City That Never Sleeps” (aka “The Big Apple” aka New York City) is often seen by outsiders as a cold and impersonal concrete jungle. And it might be – for some new arrivals. But to those who’ve lived there for a while and put down roots, “mean streets” mean home, with all the warmth and connection of a small-town neighborhood. None more so than the creative dreamers who bask in the city’s energy while connecting with, and being supported by, like-minded artistic and/or financially strapped individuals who thrive in their particular slice of town.
