Giselle
The storytelling in the first act was wonderfully clear. The transition into the second half felt like stepping into a completely different temperature. Worth sitting with for a while afterward.

Cabaret
The small gestures were more unsettling than the spectacle. A compelling evening, although I wanted more space around some of the quieter scenes. Glad I made time for this one.
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. Worth sitting with for a while afterward.
The Lion King
The visual storytelling is the star for me. Some comic scenes run long, but the inventiveness of the staging never stops being a pleasure. Glad I made time for this one.
Into the Woods
The lyrics reward close listening. Not every scene had the same energy, but the ensemble handled the shifting tone with care. Worth sitting with for a while afterward.
The Sound of Music
Warm without becoming too sugary. I had forgotten how much tension sits underneath the story once the second act begins. Glad I made time for this one.
Chicago
Loved the stripped-back approach. A few jokes felt familiar, but the ensemble found enough bite to keep the satire sharp. Worth sitting with for a while afterward.
The Nutcracker
The orchestra made the score feel fresh. I enjoyed the energy of the first act most, with plenty happening around the edges. Worth sitting with for a while afterward.
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. Glad I made time for this one.
Tosca
The sense of danger builds with remarkable economy. The voices and orchestra made the changing power between the characters feel clear. Glad I made time for this one.
