We're twisting and shouting and going all the way back to the 60s to talk about Hairspray on tour! If you're new you're new to my blog, you might not know that Hairspray was like a gateway to musical theatre for me growing up. When I was young, most of my exposure to musical theatre … Continue reading On Tour: Hairspray
Regional: Sing Street in Boston
Called "the Joyus New Musical that Lights You Up," Huntington Theatre Company's production of Sing Street is electric and lighting up Boston this fall. I had learned of Sing Street through its highly-anticipated Broadway run in the spring of 2020, only for those hopes to be dashed before it even hit the stage. Then, delayed … Continue reading Regional: Sing Street in Boston

Broadway: Moulin Rouge! (2.0)
I wanted more, more, more—so I returned to Moulin Rouge! I will preface this by saying this is more of viewing from the fan perspective and not so much from the critical eye.

Broadway: Company
Phone rings, door chimes, in comes Company — with a revised lens on an old favorite. Here's my confession: I did not grow up with the works of Steven Sondheim. While that's mostly a story for another day, it's important for the context of how I perceived Company in its newest, gender-swapped revival on Broadway. … Continue reading Broadway: Company
2022 Tony Awards Recap
Sunday, June 12, marked the 75th Annual Tony Awards ceremony, honoring the talent and production from the 2021–2022 Broadway season at Radio City Music Hall in New York. Since I did not see any of the eligible shows this year in person, it didn't feel fair to comment on predictions or pre-Tonys content. I definitely … Continue reading 2022 Tony Awards Recap

It's a sad song, but we're going to sing it again—this time in the hometown. This week I had the opportunity to see Hadestown on tour at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles.
