New York, New York was the final show of our trip. My mom and I were so glad we decided to end the trip with this show. We needed something uplifting and bright after two nights in a row of darker and more serious musicals and, this one just happened to be on my mom's [...]
The musical that everyone says is life changing. I've heard of this musical in passing, being a fan of Jason Robert Brown's work in The Bridges of Madison County, but have never really looked into it. I barely remembered that it was coming to Broadway for a limited run after a successful run at the [...]
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street was the only show we had purchased tickets for before our trip. My mom is a huge Josh Groban fan and was so excited to see that he was coming back to Broadway in this classic Sondheim show as the title character. I felt that it was [...]
& Juliet was the only brand new musical on Broadway that I was dying to see on our trip to NYC in May, so it's only fitting that it's the first review I'm writing of all the shows we saw from that trip. I had been casually following this show since it began its run [...]
Tootsie was the surprising show of our season. The past two seasons that we have participated in, there has been one show that is a toss up for us on how much we would enjoy it. Oklahoma! was that show last season. While Oklahoma! was dud for both of us, Tootsie was definitely a hit! [...]
This is the show that is overtaking musical theater TikTok with the viral video of Aaron Tveit opting up for a note in the famous song "Roxanne". More importantly, Moulin Rouge is one of my favorite movie musicals since I first saw it in high school. I was so excited when it came to Broadway [...]
Aladdin is one of my favorite Disney musicals that I've seen live (with Newsies as a close second). I'm still waiting for a Beauty and The Beast revival so I can finally see that show live as well. This is such a fun show! The way they brought the story from screen to stage back [...]
What a busy month May was! Even with it being one of the busiest months of the year at the restaurant, I had a lot planned for this month. I finally got a chance to go back to NYC after officially moving out 2 years ago. It was a great time being back and getting [...]
Another month has come and gone! I'm not going to lie, I felt like I was slipping into a small book rut after how many audiobooks I listened to in March, but I think I read books that challenged me more and were above my comfort level for reading. This caused me to get through [...]
Putting together our outfits was probably my favorite part in the planning process of the trip. We even had Facetime just to go over everything outfit-related! I love a good outfit and love all the fun ones I've seen online and from friends with their trips to Disney. Knowing it was going to be very [...]
