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 [...]
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. [...]
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 [...]
The first show of my friends and my second year as season ticket holders for Broadway Dallas! This year is another fire roundup and this first show started with a bang and honestly took me by surprise. Just a heads up that we did see this show back in September. If you follow me on [...]
