The Lion King
Took someone seeing it for the first time and ended up watching their reactions almost as much as the stage. I would be curious to see a different production.

The Magic Flute
Funny, strange, and full of melody. There was plenty to look at without distracting from the voices.
The Importance of Being Earnest
Sharp, silly, and very good company for an evening. I especially liked how seriously everyone treated the most ridiculous situations. I would be curious to see a different production.
Giselle
I was most moved by the restraint. Nothing felt rushed, and the final moments were far more affecting than I expected.
Into the Woods
Funny until it suddenly is not. The conversations about responsibility were what I kept returning to afterward.
The Sound of Music
The children had individual personalities, which made the family dynamic convincing. A comforting score with more dramatic weight than I remembered. I would be curious to see a different production.
Les Misérables
I always forget how much of this show is built from small acts of kindness. Those moments landed more deeply than the spectacle this time.
Chicago
The Glass Menagerie
The fragile quality of the memories came through without making the characters feel distant. A small, deeply affecting evening.
Rent
Some scenes are more persuasive than others, but the score catches a specific feeling of being young and uncertain. I would be curious to see a different production.
