REVIEW: Finding Neverland National Tour

photo by Jeremy Daniel I could not have been more excited when I learned that Finding Neverland would finally be launching a national tour. I saw the show twice on Broadway starring Matthew Morrison, Kelsey Grammar, and Laura Michelle Kelly, and I completely fell in love with the breathtaking yet underrated musical. At long last, the tour reached the National Theatre in Washington, DC, and I was so excited to score cheap tickets! I had some concerns about seeing Finding Neverland this time around. Despite the glowing reviews from my friends who had seen it earlier in the week, the Washington Post completely slammed the production. The Post's review mainly blamed the tour's shortcomings on being a non-equity tour. In summary, an actor who is non-equity has not yet worked their way into the Actor's Equity Association (the actor's union, in laymen's terms). Non-equity actors are not protected by the AEA regulations, and therefore are not obligated to be paid a ...

REVIEW: A Marathon Broadway Weekend in One Post

  Two weeks ago I went up to NYC with my mom and a friend and had a marathon Broadway weekend. From Thursday to Sunday, we saw five Broadway shows: School of Rock, The Color Purple, On Your Feet!, She Loves Me, and Noises Off . I’m taking the time now to post my reviews for each show we saw, because there’s much to be said about each. 1)       School of Rock: I heard this show was good. I just did Jesus Christ Superstar late last year, so I felt an obligation to see Andrew Lloyd Webber’s new show. I had a feeling Sierra Boggess would be wonderful and the little kids would be ridiculously talented. What I didn’t know was that the show would be THAT good. I absolutely LOVED this show. As I predicted, the kids were incredible. The little girl who sang “Amazing Grace” in Act 2 blew my mind. She couldn’t be more than 10 years old but she had the voice of a 25-year-old. Each kid had such well-developed characters, and the fact that they played all t...

Ten Years of Something to Believe In: My Newsies Story

  I have wanted to write about  Newsies  since the inception of this blog . Now that we are a couple days away from the 10th anniversary of  Newsies ' opening night on Broadway, I wanted to pay homage to this underdog show that I love. I want to share my  Newsies  story in full for the first time. I want to dive into the good and the not-so-good and how my relationship with  Newsies  has evolved and matured over the last ten years. Over the years I have changed so much, but my love for this show has remained. Whew, I'm already tearing up a little bit. I just want to express gratitude so here goes nothin'.  Newsies  first appeared on my radar on Thanksgiving Day 2011 when the Paper Mill cast performed in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. By the end of the performance I was sold, and  Newsies  went on my list as a show I just had to see. Fast forward to April 2012 and I was en route to NYC on a school-sponsored trip, which incl...
