Miss Saigon


Miss Saigon knocked me off of my feet, and captured my heart. 

This show was shockingly good. I was completely blown away. It really moved me with it's intensity, romance, and heart. Kim's story lingered with me long after I had left the theatre.

It was the best show I have seen in my whole life.

It had the best sets I have ever seen. They were so detailed, and had so much depth. They were so well thought out, the angels, height levels, materials, and colors. There were neon lights, fire breathing dragons, and flying helicopters. I jaw literally dropped when it flew in. I really felt like I was in their world.


The music the star of the show. I love when a musical is sung the whole way through. The actor's voices were phenomenal, and the orchestra had my heart soaring. The story was so captivating, and I was constantly trying to think though what was going to happen next. The story was done so well though, that I could never figure out what was going to happen next. It was so romantic and heartbreaking. It really showed the complexity of human character.

"Miss Saigon" is a show that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. I really connected with me, and it makes me smile whenever I remember it.

I was the first to my feet to give them a standing ovation when it was over. I am so grateful to have seen it.

Fiddler on the Roof



"Fiddler on the Roof" was such a fun show!

It was filled with beautiful singing, funny characters, and Jewish culture. The sets were done really well, and worked perfectly for the show. The dream scene was particularly creative, and actually quite frightening! The characters were so lovable, Elly and I personally feel in love with Motel and his sewing machine. Not only was this show funny and sweet, it told an emotional story of family and hardship. It ended on a note of sadness, and it was really heartfelt. 

You can clearly see why the this musical has become a classic.
