Giselle
I was most moved by the restraint. Nothing felt rushed, and the final moments were far more affecting than I expected.

Cabaret
Came for the songs and left thinking about everything happening between them. The contrast between the club and the world outside is chilling. I would be curious to see a different production.
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.
The Lion King
Took someone seeing it for the first time and ended up watching their reactions almost as much as the stage. I would be curious to see a different production.
Into the Woods
Funny until it suddenly is not. The conversations about responsibility were what I kept returning to afterward.
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. I would be curious to see a different production.
Chicago
So much personality in such economical movement. The musical numbers are entertaining and uncomfortable in almost equal measure.
The Nutcracker
The smaller character dances each had a distinct personality. A cheerful return to a familiar world.
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. I would be curious to see a different production.
Tosca
A concentrated evening with little wasted motion. The quieter passages were as gripping as the dramatic peaks. I would be curious to see a different production.
