Cabaret
The laughs get more uncomfortable as the evening goes on. I kept thinking about the way the room changes around the characters. Glad I made time for this one.

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. 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. 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. Worth sitting with for a while afterward.
The Phantom of the Opera
Tosca
The sense of danger builds with remarkable economy. The voices and orchestra made the changing power between the characters feel clear. Glad I made time for this one.
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. Worth sitting with for a while afterward.
Carmen
Musically compelling, though the staging did not always give the relationships enough room. The ensemble scenes were a highlight. Worth sitting with for a while afterward.
The Lion King
The opening still feels astonishing. What I noticed this time was the care in the smaller puppet movements and the way the ensemble creates the landscape. Glad I made time for this one.
