Cabaret
The small gestures were more unsettling than the spectacle. A compelling evening, although I wanted more space around some of the quieter scenes. I would be curious to see a different production.

Hadestown
Loved how the musicians and ensemble keep the whole room breathing together. A few passages felt slow, but the final stretch completely won me over.
The Sound of Music
Warm without becoming too sugary. I had forgotten how much tension sits underneath the story once the second act begins. I would be curious to see a different production.
Chicago
Loved the stripped-back approach. A few jokes felt familiar, but the ensemble found enough bite to keep the satire sharp.
The Phantom of the Opera
A wonderfully atmospheric score, even when the story stretches credibility. The contrast between the intimate duets and opera scenes is the real draw. I would be curious to see a different production.
Tosca
A concentrated evening with little wasted motion. The quieter passages were as gripping as the dramatic peaks. I would be curious to see a different production.
Les Misérables
A big emotional evening, though the pace occasionally left the characters little room to settle. The final ensemble made a strong impression.
Carmen
The orchestra brought out so many colors beyond the famous tunes. I liked the tension between the public scenes and the more intimate exchanges.
