My favorite show right now is Maybe Happy Ending for it's beautiful orchestrations and book; however, I am always going to love Wicked, Chicago, and Little Shop of Horrors. I am so excited to pursue my passion of writing about all things theatre and performance. I can't wait for you to read what's on my mind!
