The Magic Flute
The spoken sections sometimes interrupted the momentum, but the musical passages were worth the wait. Papageno brought a welcome lightness. Glad I made time for this one.

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. Worth sitting with for a while afterward.
Giselle
The storytelling in the first act was wonderfully clear. The transition into the second half felt like stepping into a completely different temperature. Glad I made time for this one.
Cabaret
The small gestures were more unsettling than the spectacle. A compelling evening, although I wanted more space around some of the quieter scenes. Worth sitting with for a while afterward.
Hadestown
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. Worth sitting with for a while afterward.
Les Misérables
A big emotional evening, though the pace occasionally left the characters little room to settle. The final ensemble made a strong impression. Glad I made time for this one.
West Side Story
The quieter musical moments were my favorites. A few dramatic scenes felt hurried, but the movement had real urgency. Glad I made time for this one.
Sweeney Todd
The score does so much of the storytelling. The tension builds almost unnoticed, and then a comic moment makes it even more uncomfortable. Worth sitting with for a while afterward.
Into the Woods
The lyrics reward close listening. Not every scene had the same energy, but the ensemble handled the shifting tone with care. Glad I made time for this one.
