2016 was a huge year for me...I got totally addicted to broadway.
I saw Book of Mormon in 2011 as a gift, and I loved it, but Broadway did not stick with me.
I saw Wicked in January, and that changed everything.

I needed theater in my life this year. It started out great but then mom's health took a bad turn and I just needed somewhere to escape without the need to jump on a plane and be to far from her. Theater is amazing. Theater therapy!

Broadway: Humans, School of Rock, Falsettos
Off Broadway: Hadestown
54 Below: Adam and Anthony, Norm Lewis
Regional: Disgraced
