The Magic Flute
The playful scenes and the darker music sat surprisingly well together. The orchestral details were a pleasure, especially when the stage grew quiet.

The Importance of Being Earnest
Every pause seemed to set up another joke. The cast let the language do the work, and the smallest changes of expression got some of the biggest laughs. I would be curious to see a different production.
Giselle
Cabaret
The laughs get more uncomfortable as the evening goes on. I kept thinking about the way the room changes around the characters. I would be curious to see a different production.
Hadestown
The band feels like another character in the story. I knew where it was going and still found myself hoping for a different ending. The quiet moments stayed with me as much as the big numbers.
The Phantom of the Opera
The orchestral sweep is still irresistible. I enjoyed the theatricality most when the production trusted the music and let a scene breathe. I would be curious to see a different production.
Les Misérables
The ensemble sound was the highlight. Even knowing the score so well, I found new details in the quieter scenes and overlapping lines.
West Side Story
The dancing tells you things the dialogue cannot. I was struck by how quickly the energy moves from playful to dangerous.
Sweeney Todd
Darkly funny, with a strong sense of momentum. I wanted more tenderness in a couple of scenes, but the musical detail was excellent. I would be curious to see a different production.
