Cabaret
Came for the songs and left thinking about everything happening between them. The contrast between the club and the world outside is chilling. Worth sitting with for a while afterward.

Hadestown
That mix of warmth and dread is such a difficult balance, and this show finds it. Went home wanting to listen to the score from the beginning. Glad I made time for this one.
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. Worth sitting with for a while afterward.
Chicago
So much personality in such economical movement. The musical numbers are entertaining and uncomfortable in almost equal measure. Glad I made time for this one.
The Phantom of the Opera
The design and music work together so well. I was less persuaded by the romance, but there is no denying the scale of the experience. Worth sitting with for a while afterward.
Tosca
The sense of danger builds with remarkable economy. The voices and orchestra made the changing power between the characters feel clear. Worth sitting with for a while afterward.
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. Glad I made time for this one.
The Lion King
Took someone seeing it for the first time and ended up watching their reactions almost as much as the stage. Worth sitting with for a while afterward.
