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 [...]
It really hits different in person. The night was sparkling and we were dancing like we're 22. I was always a casual Taylor listener since she started releasing her music, basically only listening to the singles that were playing on the radio and wherever else they popped up. Then when she did the surprise drop [...]
It's going to be May! Sorry I just had to use that line. New month, new monthly favorites to share! So because it's not a part of a category, I will go ahead and say that the best part of my month was seeing Taylor Swift in the Eras Tour. She did in fact do [...]
This show was definitely the show I was most excited to see this season! Six was the final show I saw in NYC before the pandemic shut everything down. I saw it on a Sunday, and by Thursday everything was closed. You can read my review of the Broadway production with the original cast here. [...]
I can't believe this month is over! I feel like so much has happened this month. I took a mini vacation with my best friend to Hot Springs to escape for a little bit and we had such a fun time. I promise a blog post covering our mini vacation will be coming soon. Speaking [...]
Y'all this month flew by! If it feels like January drags, February is over in a blink of the eye. This month was a busy month of celebration between opening a new restaurant, Valentine's Day (busiest day for a restaurant) and Mardi Gras season. I even squeezed in a trip to Little Rock to see [...]
My Fair Lady is one of my favorite classic musicals that isn't Rodgers and Hammerstein. I loved getting the chance to see the revival at Lincoln Center with Laura Benanti as Eliza Doolittle. I was so excited to see that it was going to be a part of our season this year for Broadway Dallas [...]
