I first saw Kinky Boots as part of a four show weekend in NYC back in January. At the time, I was very curious to compare it to Matilda, which I also saw during that trip. These two shows were the top contenders for the Best Musical Tony Award that season, and in what was … More Theater Review: Kinky Boots
This past weekend I saw the national touring production of Pippin at the Pantages Theater in LA. I had previously seen the Best Revival Tony-winning production in New York City back in January, where it ended up being my favorite of the four shows I saw that trip. The Los Angeles leg of the tour … More Theater Review: Pippin

I once stood, paralyzed, refusing to move at the entrance of a room filled with terrifying bunnies at Universal Studios Horror Nights (I have never understood Anya more). I once jumped and shrieked so much during the scares at the entrance to the Queen Mary’s Dark Harbor … More Theater Review: Haunted Play presents DELUSION

I specifically remember feeling frustrated with the movie’s melancholy non-ending. However, … More Once the Musical (Reprise)
This past weekend I saw the Hollywood Bowl’s production of Hair. For those who don’t know, every summer the Bowl puts on a production of a popular musical for 3 nights only with an “all-star” cast after only two weeks or so of rehearsal. I have gone every year since moving to LA, and have … More Please, Let the Sunshine In: Hair at the Hollywood Bowl
A couple weeks ago I caught the closing performance of Ghost: the Musical at the Pantages in LA. I decided to check it out because I missed the show during its Broadway run in New York, but many of my friends saw and enjoyed it. I also make it a point to check out as … More Ghost: The Musical and the Good Bad Show
