THE TOP TEN TOURING SHOWS
BLITHE SPIRIT---Angela Lansbury as Madame Arcati as she vibrates across the stage gives a tour de force of comic acting.

BOOK OF MORMAN---SHN-- THE BOOK OF MORMON---SHN---I finally saw this touring production. Yes it was highly entertaining

NEWSIES---A dazzling production featuring incredible choreography and breathtaking by a group of young talented singer-dancers.

ANNIE—SHN—once again there was a touring company of the musical. Kids were great in this production

MATILDA THE MUSICAL—SHN—This was one of the most joyful, charming and dynamic musicals I have seen all year.
PHANTOM OF THE OPERA—SHN---This re-interpreation was not to my liking. I prefer the original concept.

ONCE---SHN---It did my Irish heart good to hear this beautiful heartfelt musical.

IF/THEN---SHN---Lively musical. Idina Menzel rocked but I I thought Anthony Rapp and James Snyder were excellent.

A GENTLEMAN’S GUIDE TO LOVE AND MURDER—SHN—a wonderful musical based of “Kind Hearts and Coronets” with Steven Lutvak’s bright and effervescent music that reminded me of Gilbert and Sullivan operetta.

A CHRISTMAS STORY—SHN---A very charming musical which reminded me of growing up in Ohio
