Theater season is here. I did my best to round up the ’24’ part of the 24/25 season. I grew up without any theater as did most working class Gen X kids. It breaks my heart how many of my friends have never been to a play. Musicals can be great, but anyone who enjoys […]
Contains Plot Spoilers The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust ushered in a revival of one of the most beloved musicals, My Fair Lady, featuring a loverly (I know, I know but …) twist that celebrates everything Eliza Doolittle was and became after she met Henry Higgins. A review. This is a newer version of the story, supposedly […]
I feel as if this play told the perfect personal view of what it’s like to suffer from social anxiety and feel as if you don’t matter or no one is watching. Our review of Dear Evan Hansen currently at The Benedum is a little different. We sent our reviewer Sarah and her 16-year-old son, […]
Laura and Sarah ventured out again to the next show in the Pittsburgh Broadway Series – Six The Musical. ~ Sue Last night was cold. Wind chill made it 11 degrees. It was snowing, sort of. The type of winter day Pittsburgh used to have. I came home after work. I did not want to […]

The Benedum is one of my favorite places to see things because it is a beautiful grand theatre with comfortable seats and wonderful […]
Note – I caught a bad cold (ironc?) and was unable to attend the musical myself, but our intrepid team went and reported out to me – Sue “It is the best Disney musical so far,” pronounced my 11-year-old nibling, Elijah. He’s not alone as every performance is almost sold out during the Pittsburgh run […]
I have a secret – I have never watched Frozen. Not either movie, not the spin-off shorts, none of it. There’s no particular reason. I like the music. I have niblings who adored everything about it. I even had the CD for awhile on loan and have access to Disney+. Fortunately, the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust […]

Fri, Mar 18 – Sun, Mar 20, 2022 Beautiful – The Carole King Musical tells the inspiring true story of King’s remarkable rise to stardom, from being part of a hit songwriting team with her husband Gerry Goffin, to her relationship […]
