90210! the musical

Chicago, Broadway Playhouse at WaterTower Square

"Time is short to catch Brenda and Kelly wearing the same dress to prom, Dylan boozing his way to oblivion over a deadbeat dad, Emily slipping Brandon some “U4EA” at a rave and tons of fun at the Peach Pit, but for anyone surrounding 60611 who can picture those original occurrences, Beverly Hills 90210: The Musical is as mandatory as 7pm on a Wednesday night right up until Y2K came along."

- Andy Argyrakis of Chicago Concert Reviews

"Beverly Hills 90210: The Musical will keep audiences laughing, and particularly for the fans of the show, the story hits on that nostalgia... The songs elicit outrageous laughter from the audience, especially when combined with Garverick’s hilarious 90s style group choreography... Nostalgic and fun, 90210: The Musical is a must-see"

- Lauren Katz of Picture This Post

"The play’s high-energy cast knows how thoroughly ridiculous it all is and commits to it with endearing gusto."

- Kerry Reid of Chicago Tribune

"90210: The Musical still rings true with lots more laughs!"

- Mira Temkin of Urban Matter

"Director and Choreographer Donald Garverick does a wonderful job of keeping the actors in the center of the action, and the choreography reflects the emotional energy of the characters; overly dramatic, playful and tight as a unit."

- Josh Flanders of Chicagoland Musical Theatre

"This show is laugh-out-loud funny and mindless entertainment for a slightly different evening in the theater."

- Jeffrey Leibham of Around the Town Chicago

Off-Broadway, Theatre 80 New York City

"Director/choreographer Donald Garverick keeps the energy level high, and adds extra parodic flavor by incorporating 90’s dance trends into the show’s deliriously silly numbers."

- Ethan Kanfer of New York Theater Reviews

"Donald Garverick (director/choreographer), who is at the helm of the show’s open ended run at Theater 80 in the East Village, seems to have had a blast in his mounting of the production. The humor is tight, concise, and clever and the result is a solid production"

- Ryan Mikita of TheatreScene.net

"Bob and Tobly McSmith are the masters of the unauthorized musical parody with a proven track record of pop culture parodies... They’ve done it again with their snarky, hilarious, take-no-prisoners
(especially if your name is Tori Spelling) adaption of the teen soap"

"Carmen Mendoza's costumes and Donald Garverick’s choreography are both spot-on blasts from the past that may leave audience members with flashbacks from your own drama-filled school dances"

- Stephanie Marcus of The Huffington Post

"This Off-Broadway show created an intimacy unparalleled in any Broadway theater. The audience sang and clapped to the music and cheers and laughter abounded throughout the evening."

- Diane DiResta of Don411.com

"If it’s a night of laughs and a trip down memory lane you’re craving, then this is the show for you. And, if you’re a diehard devotee of the original, hit tv series, then you’re in for a snarky treat."
