"Wow, you managed to fit a lot of information into your first paragraph!  I wonder though, if a show like this, needs that level of synopsis?  While clearly not everyone has seen the movie (or knows the fairytale it's based on) I would…"

Let's All Go Back to the 50's

Alaina PhillipsMillion Dollar QuartetLet’s All Go Back to the 50’s (A review of Million Dollar Quartet)    “Thank you, thank you very much.” This was exactly what I thought after seeing Million Dollar Quartet at the State Theatre in Minneapolis, Minnesota on March 27th. The jaw dropping eye opening production really is a must see. If you’re in the mood to go back into the time of Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley, then this is the show for you.     Taking us all the way back to December 4, 1956 we…See More

I Don't Really Want to be an American Idiot

Alaina PhillipsAmerican IdiotI Don't Really Want to be an American Idiot        American Idiot is definitely not a traditional broadway production, but rather more of a documentary following the life of Jonny, played by Van Hughes, and his chaotic life. With this being a highly anticipated show for me, I was not nearly as impressed as I should have been. American Idiot is at the Orpheum Theatre in Minneapolis, MN through february 26th.     I love Green Day and their music, so when I walked into…See More

“It means no worries!” (A review of The Lion King)

Alaina Phillips The Lion King “It means no worries!” (A review of The Lion King)     “It’s our motto, kid!” “What’s a motto?” “Nothing, what’s a matter with you?!?!”     The Lion King, which is playing at the Orpheum in Minneapolis, MN through February 12, is easily one of the best Broadway shows I have ever seen. With a very large cast, amazing costumes, detailed sets, and a jaw dropping performance, it took me on a magical journey to Africa.     The Lion King follows the life of Simba, a…See More

Dudley Voigt commented on Alaina Phillips's blog post Les Miserables
