HAMILTON on Disney Plus, Next Best Thing to Being in the Room Where It Happened
I’ll never forget the first time I saw Lin-Manuel Miranda perform “Alexander Hamilton.” No, it wasn’t on Broadway. And it wasn’t an original cast recording of the hit musical. It was actually several years before HAMILTON would even open on Broadway – 2009, to be specific. At the White House. Known then as “The Hamilton […]
Theatre Review: ‘Hamilton’ at the Fabulous Fox in St. Louis (April 3 – 22)
My first exposure to Hamilton – or at least what would eventually become the phenomenon – was in 2009, when Lin-Manuel Miranda performed at the White House Poetry Jam.

‘Bring It On: The Musical’ Offers Big Laughs, Bigger Stunts at the Fox Theatre (Review)
I honestly did not know what to expect going into the Fabulous Fox Theatre on Tuesday, as I prepared to see Bring It On: The Musical on opening night. It has been years since I’ve seen the movie – over a decade to be exact. And although it wasn’t the best film I’ve seen, it […]
Kenny Ortega slated to direct ‘In The Heights’
Kenny Ortega won a lot of people over with This Is It. Even though he was really only supposed to be a choreographer and show runner, he ended up turning director after Michael Jackson’s untimely death. The film went onto rave reviews, and showed an intimate look at its star. I’m sure how well the […]
