  • My Ramblings on Summer: The Donna Summer Musical

    New Season. New Seats. New Shows (well some at least). October was our first show in the 2019-2020 Broadway series at the Playhouse Theater. The series opened up with the sounds of the disco queen in Summer The Donna Summers Musical. Here are the rest of the shows on the list: -The Band’s Visit -Mean Girls -Anastasia -Jesus Christ Superstar -My Fair Lady -Frozen Not that I remember my initial reaction to every season well, but I am thinking this one probably elicits the least amount of excitement from me. My exception is Jesus Christ Superstar which is one of my all time favorite shows, however, rarely does it meet…

  • My Ramblings on Dear Evan Hanson

    Holy Smokes…..I freaking loved this show! Let me start off by saying, I knew little to none about this show except that it did very well on Broadway. I really thought it was just another coming of age show that would be mediocre. BOY WAS I WRONG! Let’s Discuss My Night At the Theater…. First, we had to switch our days and seats around. We are season ticket holders for the Playhouse Square Broadway Series. Normally we are in the bleeders but not this time folks. We had fourth row seats in stage right with the inside aisle…EEK! The only time I have every had this good of seats for…
