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!
I crused it this year. Years ago , I was on a kick where I would try to see everything on Broadway. I got my hands on some comp tix to An American in Paris and decided that I should try to see as much as I can again.
An American in Paris
Oh, Hello
Cirque Paramour
Great Comet (2x)
Dear Evan Hansen
Waitress
Phantom of the Opera
Book of Mormon
I want to eventually see Hamilton, DEH again, as well as Jitney.
