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.

The Magic Flute
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.
Giselle
The second act had a stillness that made every small movement matter. The corps were beautifully together without losing that eerie, drifting quality. I would be curious to see a different production.
Cabaret
The laughs get more uncomfortable as the evening goes on. I kept thinking about the way the room changes around the characters.
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. I would be curious to see a different production.
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.
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. I would be curious to see a different production.
Chicago
The precision makes it look effortless. The band, choreography, and dry delivery all share the same sly sense of humor. I would be curious to see a different production.
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.
