Moulin Rouge
It’s official, I’m a snob. A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to see Moulin Rouge at the Al Hirschfeld Theater theater on Broadway. I liked it a lot, in fact I thoroughly enjoyed it, but I don’t think I respect it. Can I say that?…
Hercules in the Park
Bless my soul, the Public is on a role. After two successful Shakespeare productions in the Park, the Public Theater decided to raise the bar with Hercules.…
Beetlejuice
For a long time I refused to see Beetlejuice on principle. It's a movie musical, and unless I'm very committed to the source material (ex. Mean Girls), I usually don't bother. For the past several months however, I've been hearing rumblings that this show is surprisingly good. Last weekend, I…

King Lear
It finally happened. A Broadway show so unbelievably bad I didn't bother to stay for curtain.…
Oklahoma!
I was giddy walking into Oklahoma. After seeing it for the first time at St. Anne's Warehouse last year, I've become a massive fan of the show and the cast recording. To make this occasion more exciting, I was on the floor for this one. View this post on Instagram…
Hadestown
At 14 Tony nominations, Hadestown demands to be seen. While I'm not sure it lives up to the extreme hype, it's still an excellent show. Hadestown combines Greek Mythology with New Orleans Jazz. This juxtaposition works quite well. Shortly after Hamilton came out, we asked if Hip Hop musicals were…
