I can't believe we are already done with the month of June and I'm just now getting a chance to sit down and write this blog post. Still not sure how life manages to get away from me, but as I always say, maybe one day I'll be able to figure out a good scheduling [...]
To Kill a Mockingbird was our final show of the Broadway Dallas National Tour season and my first professional play ever! I was so excited to see this one because it was something different from what I normally go for (as far as live performance). It was also a huge hit when it was on [...]
Our final Disney blog post for now! We did a lot of research before going to figure out how to have the least stressful and most fun trip we could possibly have, but ended up learning a lot in the moment as well. Like every trip, there were a few hiccups (mainly us getting sick [...]
I have the perfect girls trip weekend getaway spot in Arkansas! It's so great that Mary Ellen and I have now gone twice. Hot Springs is a special spot for us to go to for a quick trip because it was the first place we visited after all the COVID lockdowns. The wineries up there [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]
