Theater Camp is itself shamelessly infatuated with the great American musical, but it also enjoys poking affectionate fun at the kids’ creative…

Review of Theater Camp (2023)

Review of Theater Camp (2023)

By Leaf Arbuthnot (1) for The Guardian (2,969) on 23 Aug 2023

Born of a years-long collaboration by Ben Platt, Molly Gordon, Noah Galvin and Nick Lieberman (which included a proof-of-concept short film),…

Review of Theater Camp (2023)

By Odie Henderson (402) for Boston Globe (6,852) on 20 Jul 2023

This musical should have taken center stage in Theater Camp. The dreadful story surrounding it deserves to get the hook…

Review of Theater Camp (2023)

Lieberman and Gordon direct this almost family affair with a touch that is paradoxically light yet broad, from a screenplay expanded from their…

Review of Theater Camp (2023)

The sense of joy that emanates from nearly every frame of Theater Camp, a film that arrived like a burst of July sunshine in the January frost…

By Katie Walsh (1,279) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 16 Jul 2023

This madcap mockumentary works beautifully because Gordon, Lieberman, Platt and Galvin take care to imbue this setting with a real sense of…

Review of Theater Camp (2023)

By Alison Willmore (681) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 14 Jul 2023

Review of Theater Camp (2023)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 14 Jul 2023
