Our local university is known for it’s historical music program, and they put on a production of the opera Alcina by Handel. It was sublime, and a treat to see a baroque opera performed in a smaller theater.
Do you ever go to see live theater? What was the last thing that you went to? Or, alternatively, what was your favorite?
2025, Saw the Musical: The Unauthorized Parody of Saw
It’s a comedy musical with a tiny cast Seeing it live was a hilariously fun night. I highly recommend it for anyone who enjoyed the first couple of Saw movies.
Without spoiling it too much, it expanded on the latent gay tension between the two main characters in the first movie and included several jokes for fans of the series.
My favorite musical is the Sweeny Todd casting with Angela Lansbury. The characters are all perfectly cast, and Angela Lansbury is a treat every time she’s on stage.
I had tickets to see Sweeney Todd with Josh Groban. I bought tickets for a Friday and accidentally put it on my calendar for Saturday. So bummed!
