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
Urinetown – Musical – ACT Theatre & 5th Ave Theatre With dad attending the “UrineTown” musical satire produced by ACT Theatre & 5th Avenue Theatre. Fun talented cast & so many hilarious campy gags. I wasn’t sure if the show was for/against social services given the paradoxical ending. #urine
The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical – Musical – 5th Ave Theater “The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical” tour. Somehow they made the minimalist set/props & small cast work. Catchy songs. Dazzling audio/lighting effects. Anticlimactic ending. High school demigod half-bloods. #LTMusical
Marie, Dancing Still – Musical – 5th Avenue Theatre Closing weekend to “Marie – Dancing Still” with 5th Avenue Theatre. The ballet theme lent a unique beautiful graceful elegance to this musical. Side note, this was the first time I’ve attended a professional show that abruptly paused midway for technical difficulties!
Rock of Ages – Musical – 5th Avenue Theatre “Rock of Ages” closing weekend at the 5th Avenue Theatre. Corny jukebox 80s rock musical. Tight harmonies. Rowdy audience. Loud sound engineering. Don’t stop believing!
