This week I turned 26 years old. There are 26 letters in the alphabet. I mean...I had to do it!

As the year winds down and we start thinking about the new year, I’m taking one last look at the shows that closed their curtains in 2018.

Let’s talk about the Mouse House’s stage adaptations!

Robert Lopez & Kristen Anderson-Lopez made a real splash with Finding Nemo.

With Beetlejuice’s out of town tryout under its belt, the only B word to be said now will be Broadway!

I always have something to say after a show. But after American Son, I was utterly speechless.

Wicked holds an unusually special place in my heart because Elphaba was the first musical theatre character I saw myself in.

I didn’t expect to be nearly as affected by this show as I was.

What other show do you know of that didn’t have much of a life until the internet got involved?

I wasn’t always the out and proud bisexual woman I am now. Today, I’d like to take you on my journey to self-acceptance.

One year after it closed on Broadway, I’d like to tell you all about how an unlikely adaptation reminded me of the importance of living life.

I have been a long-time Ryan McCartan fan and still am. Does that make me a horrible person?

Every performance oozed with a sense of knowing how huge Menken’s musical reach was- and is- while also filling the room with an air of gratitude for everything he’s already provide to the world.

What do you guys think? Did you also spend too much time thinking about this song grammatically? No, that's just me? Cool. I’d still love to know your thoughts!

After discussing It Shoulda Been You last week, I realized there was a lot more to unpack there that didn’t really fit with the theme of the week. So this is part two of that piece.

Ariella Kahan-Harth on twitter asked us to take a look at gender in modern high school musicals, such as Dear Evan Hansen and Be More Chill. In addition to those two, we'll also look at Mean Girls.

“The character of Annie Shepard is the first openly queer woman of color I’d ever seen on stage. I didn’t know at the time just how significant that was.”
