I saw 90 shows in 2024 between New York and London this year (plus some more local shows). After a lot of thought, here are my Top 10 favorite experiences in alphabetical order:
THE BAKER'S WIFE - Menier Chocolate Factory, London
BOYS FROM THE BLACKSTUFF - West End, London
CULT OF LOVE - Broadway, NYC
AN ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE - Broadway, NYC
GYPSY - Broadway, NYC
ILLINOISE - Broadway, NYC
OEDIPUS - West End, London
THE OUTSIDERS - Broadway, NYC
STANDING AT THE SKY'S EDGE - West End, London
STEREOPHONIC - Broadway, NYC
HONORABLE MENTIONS: FOLLIES IN CONCERT at Carnegie Hall, an incredibly well-acted local production of THE DUCHESS OF MALFI, and our local high school's production of THE JAMES PLAYS which I directed and just loved the experience of so much.
BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENTS: Jamie Lloyd's Romeo & Juliet on the West End, The Great Gatsby on Broadway, The Duchess on the West End, The Wiz on Broadway, Your Lie in April on the West End.
