‘Moulin Rouge’ @ Al Hirschfeld Theatre: NYC (3/11/23)

For Saturday evening, I had no shows planned, I lost all the lotteries, most shows were out of rush already by the afternoon, so I figured I’d try standing room for a show. I was between Moulin Rouge and Parade and something in my gut told me to try for Moulin Rouge, and thankfully I was able to get standing room! (And a good thing too, since Saturday night’s performance of Parade ended up getting canceled due to technical difficulties.)

I’m going to try and be as honest and open in my reviews as I can. Please note these are my personal opinions and I’m always open to discussions!

‘Hadestown’ @ Walter Kerr Theatre: NYC (3/7/23)

On the road to Hell there was a railroad line… Another trip to the underworld to see Hadestown! When the Hadestown lottery says you win, I accept that win and go see this show again. This was my 7th time seeing it since 2019 – pretty good stats!

‘Life of Pi’ @ Schoenfeld Theatre: NYC (3/9/23)

Life of Pi performed its first preview show on March 9th and I’m happy to report I was in attendance! I truly love the energy of first preview shows and I’m very glad my friend was able to grab us rush tickets for this performance.

‘Shucked’ @ Nederlander Theatre: NYC (3/8/23)

I love a good first preview, so when I won the Shucked lottery for their first show I knew I couldn’t miss it.

I knew absolutely nothing about this show going into it other than it was about corn. That’s it. That’s the premise. And truthfully? That’s how I recommend you go into it too! If you like bad puns and dad jokes, this is the show for you.

Broadway Wrap Up: February 2023

I saw 3 Broadway shows in February! February was a busy month for me, between traveling to Atlanta for work, going to the Revelle book launch event, and seeing 3 concerts – so I didn’t see as many Broadway shows – not to mention a lot of new shows are just opening, so I expect March to be busier!

‘Bad Cinderella’ @ Imperial Theatre: NYC (2/24/23)

Bad Cinderella lives up to its name – it is, in fact, bad. And not in a good way. In a genuinely bad way and I already had very low expectations going in. I saw it during previews so I’m unsure if anything will change before it opens on March 23, 2023.

I was able to grab a digital rush ticket for $30 and figured I better see this show for myself to judge and yes, I judged. My seat was marked as “partial view” as it was off to the side, but it was also front row and right next to the stairs some actors walked in on – so I felt I had a great seat! I did miss some stuff on the right (stage left) side but nothing major as far as I could tell.

‘Kimberly Akimbo’ @ Booth Theatre: NYC (12/22/22)

Kimberly Akimbo is a new Broadway musical I would recommend to literally everyone. This is such a feel good wholesome comedy that is also a bit heartbreaking. If you’re a fan of dysfunctional family dynamics and warm friendships, give this show a try – it would be hard to walk out of that theater without a big smile on your face (and maybe some tears in your eyes).

‘& Juliet’ @ Stephen Sondheim Theatre: NYC (12/21/22)

My time has finally come….to see & Juliet on Broadway! I’ve been eagerly anticipating this show for months! I didn’t make it a priority earlier because I was focusing on my London trip (and didn’t want to risk getting sick) but now I was ready and I was finally able to grab digital rush tickets from TodayTix!

‘Into The Woods’ @ St. James Theatre: NYC (12/13/22)

For someone who loves Into The Woods, I haven’t seen it nearly enough during its limited run at the St. James Theatre! This was my first (and last) time winning the Into The Woods digital lottery. (Last because you can only win on LuckySeat for any given show once every 60 days according to the rules. Yes I read the rules.)

‘Almost Famous’ @ Jacobs Theatre: NYC (12/11/22)

A rare Sunday evening performance of Almost Famous – since I was already in the city I knew I wanted to catch an evening show so what better to see than my comfort show, Almost Famous!

This was my 5th time seeing Almost Famous, but my first time since it officially opened on November 3rd, 2022! I’m glad I could see the show again in its final form. I last saw it on November 2nd, so at that point I felt like things were pretty set and I don’t think I noticed any changes since then (but it has been over a month since I saw the show!)
