Beauty and the Beast – Musical – 5th Avenue Theatre Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” musical at the 5th Avenue Theatre. First time I’ve seen the audience do a standing ovation before the second act … or even before the curtain call. #POC #BiPOC
Bliss – Musical – 5th Avenue Theatre “Bliss the Musical” at The 5th Avenue Theatre. Novel lagoon & fairy godfather (Mario Cantone) elements. Loved the traditional perfect Stepford Cinderella-like princesses. But the rah-rah girl power sisterhood snowflake message was overplayed 🙄. Also wish the hilarious butch lesbian princess was featured more.
Mrs. Doubtfire – Musical – 5th Avenue Theatre “Mrs. Doubtfire” at The 5th Avenue Theatre before it goes to Broadway in spring 2020. Hilarious stage musical adaptation of the movie. Lead actor was crazy talented.
Austen’s Pride – Musical – 5th Ave Theatre “Austen’s Pride: A New Musical of Pride and Prejudice” at The 5th Avenue Theatre. Well-portrayed Miss Bingley & Lady Catherine de Bourgh. Good theater company but sadly a tepid musical. #JaneAusten #MrDarcy
West Side Story – Musical – 5th Avenue Theatre “West Side Story” musical w/ dad at The 5th Avenue Theatre. Rich male lead voice. Iconic songs. Beautiful orchestration. Strong choreography but comical for tough #gangs to “ballet fight.” Teens are so melodramatic! Can’t we just get along? #RomeoAndJuliet
