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.

The Magic Flute
The spoken sections sometimes interrupted the momentum, but the musical passages were worth the wait. Papageno brought a welcome lightness. Worth sitting with for a while afterward.
The Importance of Being Earnest
A lovely reminder of how much fun a well-timed line can be. A couple of scenes leaned a little broad for me, but the ensemble had terrific rhythm. Glad I made time for this one.
Giselle
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.
Into the Woods
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.
Les Misérables
A big emotional evening, though the pace occasionally left the characters little room to settle. The final ensemble made a strong impression. Worth sitting with for a while afterward.
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 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.
