What a beautiful & rich show. Rich in its performances (Brian D’Arcy James & Kelli O’Hara are exceptional) but also rich in its subject matter and storytelling. As someone who's lived a very similar life (hyper-independence due to a family who weren't always taking care of themselves as they should), I found this musical to be quite the reflection on rebuilding family & quite the damnation of alcoholism.

So I didn't get the chance to see this off-broadway in 2018 and certainly didn't get to in 2020 when it made its Broadway debut but I always kept this musical in the back of my mind. So when I accidentally entered a lottery for tickets a few things happened:

I realized what I’d done and sorta kicked myself a bit.

I made a plan in case I won… and then I won.

You know that feeling you have when a show finishes and you wish you could see it for the 1st time again? That's how I felt after seeing @akimbomusical on Broadway the other night. Goodness me did I feel loved, warm, & so happy to be in this life and willing to live it to the fullest. That's what Kimberly Akimbo does to you. Especially that ending. Never felt more at ease with how I approach the world and all the things I wanna do in it.

First things first. I have never been able to take someone to their first musical ever. The pressure! But I knew that this was special and deserved what is easily for me the best show on Broadway @mjthemusical and let me tell you the look on the man's face after the show said it all. Happy to have given you a birthday to remember @makethecaul!!!

Ask me how long I've been waiting to see @sixbroadway! Not kidding I think I waited an entire year. Finally, all the timing came together and it being my birthday week was the icing on top. I had so much fun with SIX the Musical. Omg. Armand and I left with the biggest smiles on our faces and all the music in our brains.

It took me a few days to collect my thoughts on this one. Then my world stopped so I didn't get the chance to post about it. I won a lottery in December to see this unique piece of work. The final musical by Stephen Sondheim. It's directed by one of my favorite people Joe Mantello. This piece is creative. It's funny. It's stunning visually. I enjoyed it.
