Another Opening, Another Show
We talk a lot on here about what it means to be a New Yorker, and if that’s something we’ll ever really call ourselves. I’m still not sure I can claim the mantle, but there are definitely things that are no longer as novel to me as they were when I moved here nearly seven…

Holiday Playlist 2018: Haul Out the Holly
Apologies, dear readers, for the lateness of this post. We are still recovering from Thailand-induced jet lag, and Wednesday passed us by in a haze. However, we are incredibly excited that it is indeed that holly jolly time of year again. Nothing revives us like holiday cheer! December is in sight, and the holidays are…

5 Musicals That Should Exist, But Don’t
Well, another theater season is over, and “The Band’s Visit” ran away with all the Tony’s.

I’m not saying that the musicals out there…

Zelda’s 2016 Broadway Wish List
It’s been well-established on this blog that both Scout and I are giant theatre nerds. In my case it was ingrained since birth — my parents did meet at choir rehearsal, after all — and I spent my childhood running around the house with a basket in hand and a napkin on my head, belting out Les…

These Are a Few of Our Favorite Folks: New York Edition!
The internet is a big place, and many people call it home. That’s the wonderful thing about technology: It allows you to form cozy little communities whose members may be scattered to all corners of the globe. You can connect with people miles away or right next door, all at the drop of a hat.…

March Playlist: Musical Madness, Act II
Our love of musicals is so great it spilled over into a second act, and that’s with the pared down version. (It’s not a problem: It’s just a challenge — it’s a challenge! — to resist…putting every song we love on this list.) We pick up after intermission with two Southern gals relocating to New…
