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.

Hadestown
Loved how the musicians and ensemble keep the whole room breathing together. A few passages felt slow, but the final stretch completely won me over. Glad I made time for this one.
Chicago
Loved the stripped-back approach. A few jokes felt familiar, but the ensemble found enough bite to keep the satire sharp. Glad I made time for this one.
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.
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.
Carmen
Musically compelling, though the staging did not always give the relationships enough room. The ensemble scenes were a highlight. Glad I made time for this one.
The Lion King
The visual storytelling is the star for me. Some comic scenes run long, but the inventiveness of the staging never stops being a pleasure. Worth sitting with for a while afterward.
The Glass Menagerie
I liked the restraint in the family scenes. The production left space for uncertainty rather than explaining every feeling. Glad I made time for this one.
