Favorite Show: The Light in the Piazza
Every aspect of this show was at the highest level: cast, set, lights, costumes, music, book, theatre. All of it. Saw it five times.
Favorite Show: Fun Home
Loved it Off-Broadway, and the re-imagined staging on Broadway added a depth and intimacy to the experience.
Favorite Play: Hand to God
Love the irreverence, and this play went way beyond what I was expecting.
Favorite Musical: It Shoulda Been You
To watch Tyne Daly and Harriet Harris is a study in acting and comedy. And I didn’t know the surprise plot twist, so I was floored.
Favorite Score: The Bridges of Madison County
Love Jason Robert Brown’s music. This score and Kelli O'Hara and Steven Pasquale’s performances masterfully combined the art of singing, acting and embodying humanity onstage.
Favorite Off-Broadway Play: Whorl Inside a Loop at Second Stage Theater
Brilliant, brilliant storytelling by an amazing collection of actors. Loved this play.
Favorite Show: Allegiance
This story was not a part of my history lessons in school ever. Theater has the ability to hold up a mirror to what we were and what we have or haven’t learned as human beings. And seeing this population tell this powerful story is amazing to me.
Favorite Show: Hamilton
Life changing. Telling the story of our country’s history through rap with this population of actors portraying our founding fathers was extraordinary.
Camryn Manheim in Spring Awakening
Her performance as Wendla’s mom was heartbreaking.
Favorite Play: Our Lady of Kibeho at Signature Theatre
Katori Hall! Love her writing and storytelling. Love learning about who we are as human beings, the atrocities we inflict and the patterns we doom ourselves to repeat.
