First Show
My parents took me to see a production of CATS when I was 4 or 5 and I hated it. Discriminating taste, even at a tender age.Favorite Show
I've seen too many shows to pick just one favorite but the Encores revival of the Apple Tree was really, really special. Kristin Chenoweth in a Harnick & Bock musical?? Heaven.Favorite Stories

- Review: TITUSS BURGESS TAKE ME TO THE WORLD Dazzles at Carnegie Hall - Tituss Burgess is such a treasure. Need I say more?
- Review: THE MIKADO Preserves the Vibrant Legacy of Gilbert & Sullivan for a New Generation at Kaye Playhouse - I love the work NYGASP is doing to preserve and recontextualize the work of Gilbert & Sullivan - two songwriters any modern day Broadway / musical theater fan should be familiar with!
