Broadway Wrap Up: October 2023

I saw 5 Broadway and Off-Broadway shows in October! This is a lot less than my “normal” because I was traveling for 10 days this month, and then trying to recover after that! Where to you ask? Check out my Wrap Up post to find out!

The Great Gatsby at Paper Mill Playhouse in NJ was a real treat to see and I’m so glad I caught this limited run. Only time will tell if the show makes it across the river to Broadway. I also loved Here We Are, Sondheim’s final musical – it was a weird story but I loved the ride.

Broadway Wrap Up: July 2023

I saw 12 Broadway and Off-Broadway shows in July! I actually have no idea how I saw so many shows this month, I spent my weekends seeing shows!

This was a month of catching shows before they closed, such as Life of Pi and Camelot. Of experiencing new shows like Gatsby: Immersive and seeing a local production of Rent! Of seeing 2 different productions of Moulin Rouge in 2 cities LOL!
