  • Review: My Ramblings on the Musical Anastasia

    Are you thinking about seeing the Broadway tour of Anastasia? Maybe you are just curious? If so read on and I will tell you about my musical bestie date night in lovely Cleveland, Ohio and discuss my thoughts on the show. Wow! It felt like forever since I enjoyed a night out at the theater! It had been a couple month break in between shows so I was excited to get back into it. Pre-Show Snacks Normally we don’t get to meet up before the show but it was a special occasion as my BFF had a sitter. (Yay!!) We decided to check out Rebublic Food and Drink to snag…

  • 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 My Broadway visit to Hadestown

    I did that thing I have been waiting to do for years! I saw a Tony Award-Winning show ON BROADWAY!!!! Ok, to be fair I would have settled on any show on Broadway but this makes it all the better. So let’s talk about my entire Broadway-night-with-the-ladies experience, starting with picking a show. Let me start by saying that for my 40th birthday, my present to myself was to go to NYC and see some Broadway shows with some of my closest friends. But What Should We See? Initially, I thought this would be easy peasy. Pick a show, get tickets. Sadly, not so much since my BFF, Pam, and…

  • My Ramblings on Come From Away

    Come From Away is one of the smartest shows I have ever seen! I absolutely loved it and cannot wait to tell you why! It is not very often that I am impressed by the originality of a show and how it was written and produced.  But Come From Away has become an exception. So let’s talk about this musical! The Story…. Let me start by saying that when watching a musical I prefer to keep my knowledge of what it is about to a minumum otherwise I am disappointed. Going into Come from Away here is what I thought I knew: The show is about the interaction between a…

  • 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…
