-- Opening 2 minutes in The Crucible. Combination of lighting, music, the chant itself were mesmerizing
-- The coronation scene from King Charles III. I think the play is a masterpiece, and this scene was its zenith, with Charles out Learing Lear
-- The final scene of Hamilton...so powerful...actually make that the remainder of the show from the time Hamilton is shot. He soliloquy is even better than on the recording
-- Daveed Diggs giving probably the best supporting performance by a male that I have ever seen, hysterically funny as Lafayette (and how does he say all those words) and haughty perfection as Jefferson
-- Cynthis Erivo commanding the stage, and tearing down the house with I'm Here
-- The last 10 minutes or so of A View From the Bridge. Incredibly directed and acted.
-- Jessica Lange's final scene from Long Days Journey. I doubt that anything will ever top Vanessa Redgrave's in my lifelime, but Lange gave a great performance...how far she has come as a stage actress
-- Audra MacDonald, joyously tap dancing and singing up a storm, followed by the quiet recognition that Florence Mills is going to surpass her. So quiet, so moving
-- Jackary Levi signing She Loves Me...his total joy is palpable
-- Jessie Mueller's warmth and singing in Waitress. I loved her scenes with Drew Gehling the most...I thougt they had great chemistry, naysayers be damned.
-- the number in the second Act of Shuffle Along that made such effective use of the spotlights.
-- Seeing James Earl Jones and Cicely Tyson on the same stage in the Gin Game. The play may not be as good as some had thought, but those two made it an event
-- the set moving in and opening up in She Loves Me. I may have loved that set more than anything since the original production of Follies.
-- Stick It To The Man from School of Rock
-- Ben Whishaw's performance, from beginning to end
-- Last season, but I only saw it this season. Curious Incident...magnificent in every way. I saw the actor who replaced Alex Sharp. He would have been a serious Tony contender if he had orignated the role
