The best source for finding reviews of concerts, dance performances, or plays is newspapers.
Before starting your search, it's important to consider the context of the review you're looking for: Do you need a review from a particular city's newspaper? Do you need reviews for a contemporary performance or a historical one?
The specific context of the review you're trying to find informs where you should look.

3. If you need historic reviews, start with ProQuest Historical Newspapers
