The Lion King – Musical – Paramount Theatre

Disney's The Lion King - Musical #soldout run at Paramount Theatre. Costumes, set, & music were #AMAZING but show didn't live up to the #hype. #Puppetry isn't a great stage medium & animals aren't good stage characters. Also too #kidfriendly. #circleoflife #hakunamatata — Disney’s “The Lion King” musical sold out run at Paramount Theatre. Costumes, set, & music were AMAZING but show didn’t live up to the hype.

On Your Feet! The Emilio & Gloria Estefan Broadway Musical – Paramount Theatre

Watched ON YOUR FEET! The Musical. Stellar light show, mesmerizing choreography, golden voices, & hawt Emilio Estefan actor (Ektor Rivera). But like many Paramount Theatre shows, the volume was too loud.

Waitress – Musical – Paramount Theatre

Watched Sara Barielles's Waitress the Musical, complete with 2 mini pies to eat during the descriptive, mouth-watering show. Wasn't sure where they were going with their stance on infidelity but found the ending acceptable. — Watched Sara Barielles’s Waitress the Musical, complete with 2 mini pies to eat during the descriptive, mouth-watering show.

The Phantom of the Opera – Musical – Paramount Theatre

Second time watching The Phantom of the Opera. Didn't connect the dark — Second time watching The Phantom of the Opera. Didn’t connect the dark “angel of music” to Lucifer (thanks Samantha). Appalling anti-feminism. Cool special effects (esp fire).

The Color Purple – Musical – Paramount Theatre

Evening performance of The Color Purple Musical. Men and the patriarchal system suck! Also, I've never seen the movie but I can't imagine Oprah Winfrey as Sofia. — Evening performance of The Color Purple Musical. Men and the patriarchal system suck!
