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.
The Phantom of the Opera – Musical – Paramount Theatre 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.
Les Miserables – Musical – Paramount Theatre Attended the sold out tour of Les Miserables – Musical. Victor Hugo is such a debbie downer! Just realized I watched 2 musicals based on his books this weekend. Both had epic music scores. But would someone turn on more stage lighting?! Could barely see anything.
Love Never Dies – Musical – Paramount Theatre Evening performance of Love Never Dies (sequel to The Phantom of the Opera). Beautiful theme song! Act 1 started weak but Act 2 ended strong (seems to be the opposite of most musicals). — attending Love Never Dies at Paramount Theatre.
