Next to Normal - Michael Longhurst - West End 2024 Revival

Watched June 2025

I watched the proshot when it was on PBS, and wow. I just don't know what to say, this musical is amazing. The set, the music, the representation of mental illness was flawless, and I am in love with this musical. This one speaks out to me the most because of personal reasons, and it's so theraputic. I feel like this musical has changed me and healed me as a person I am so thankful for this revival. I rewatch this musical so often and I am literally SOBBING by the first minute. I swear to god I'm so fr when I say that after watching this for the first time it took me a couple of hours to stop sobbing my eyes out and I was so dehydrated after. It is so cathartic, and it just feels like it purges out all of the negative emotions I have and it's so great!! #love

Merrilly we Roll Along - Stephen Sondhiem - Broadway 2023 Revival

Watched July 2025

AMAZING SCORE, also AMAZING CASTING, with Groff sauce and Daniel Radcliffe. Love. However, the musical was a little bit complicated to follow along to, I understood the plot a little bit but the backwards structure really did just. Idk. I love this musical but I haven't rewatched it and I haven't seen the proshot yet :(

Into The Woods - Stephen Sondhiem - 1980s/90s Production

Watched November 2025

Another Sondhiem musical, proving that Sondhiem remains the best playwright ever. The message of this musical is so inspiring, My favorite song is "No one is alone" because we all hold responsibility for each other but also we are all connected. Also "Finale:Children Will Listen" speaks out to me. Also Bernedette Peters I love you so much she's incredible at singing but she was literally perfect for this role.

Company - Stephen Sondhiem - 2006 Production

Watched December 2025

I LOVE THIS MUSICAL SO MUCH!! This is one of my FAVOURITE MUSICALS EVER!! As someone who is aroace, this oddly speaks out to me. Like, I know that Bobby isn't but. In a way I like relate. Anyway, the score is absolutely amazing, I can't get enough of "You Could Drive A Person Crazy" and "Getting Married Today". "Being Alive" was SO INCREDIBLE!! Raul's emotions in that one was so like moving, and I was sobbing and sob everytime. And the set design, although it's so simple, it's so amazing and fits so well. I love the actors, and I did watch the one with Patti Lupone in it and she's absolutely amazing she is a Sondhiem icon (like Bernadette Peters) and I love her!!
