High Spirits
10 / 10
It's been 60 years since my 16-year-old theatre nerd self eagerly hopped aboard a Trailways bus in Baltimore and headed for New York and the Alvin Theatre. That's where the musical High Spirits waited to greet me with my never-to-be-forgotten first Broadway show. Not a touring company or summer stock, mind you, but the real McCoy! Fast forward to last night, when this now-New Yorker hopped aboard a subway and exited at New York City Center, where the Encores! production of High Spirits is in joyous swing, fully living up to the promise of its title and leaving both the aging veteran and the teenager inside me very happy indeed.
