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. Glad I made time for this one.
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. Worth sitting with for a while afterward.
Into the Woods
The way the stories knot together is a joy to follow. Then the second act asks much harder questions than the first half prepares you for. Glad I made time for this one.
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. Worth sitting with for a while afterward.
The Sound of Music
The family scenes were the heart of it for me. The familiar songs worked best when they felt like part of a conversation. Worth sitting with for a while afterward.
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. Glad I made time for this one.
Chicago
The precision makes it look effortless. The band, choreography, and dry delivery all share the same sly sense of humor. Glad I made time for this one.
Waiting for Godot
Much funnier than I expected, and then unexpectedly lonely. The rhythm between the two leads made the waiting itself interesting. Worth sitting with for a while afterward.
The Glass Menagerie
I liked the restraint in the family scenes. The production left space for uncertainty rather than explaining every feeling. Glad I made time for this one.
