""My fourth favorite musical?" That's hilarious praise. While you give a thorough review, you never explicitly explain what it's your 4th favorite? I wonder how it would have worked if that had been a through line you…"

Dudley Voigt commented on Emma Dalen's blog post Supercali-nope"My fault, Madeline Trumble isn't the one from St. Paul, that's Elizabeth Ann Berg. I think it's fair game to reference the movie and I liked how you contrasted your different experiences with it. Why do you prefer the movie?…"

When, as a small child, I was first shown the movie Disney’s “Mary Poppins” by my mother, I didn’t like it all that much. I recently was shown it as a teenager, and I quite enjoyed it. The catchy music was enjoyable, and I thought that the storyline was quite interesting. Seeing the Broadway musical was something that I was starting to look forward to. After seeing the musical on stage, my opinion on it is that I much prefer the movie. Disney’s “Mary Poppins” is being performed at the…See More

When I first saw the Broadway musical “Spamalot”, I was ten years old. I immediately wanted to someday play the role of the glittering sexpot diva, otherwise known as The Lady of The Lake. To this day, it is still my fourth favorite musical. “Spamalot” won the 2005 Tony Award for Best Musical, the 2005 Drama Desk Award for Outstanding New Musical. The musical is written by Eric Idle and based on “Monty Python and The Holy Grail”. It was performed at the Orpheum Theatre in Minneapolis on…See More
Erica Solomon commented on Emma Dalen's blog post No Conversion Here"Very strong points in the the third paragraph, I especially like that you mention that the show (the choreography in particular) had power, even to the furthest balcony. You do a nice job of taking the reader through your experience of the show,…"
Dudley Voigt commented on Emma Dalen's blog post No Conversion Here"The third and fourth paragraphs here are really strong, you are so detailed and specific about the choreography and the lighting! And your conclusion is funny and concise.
I appreciate your attempt to be balanced but it's ok to take a…"

When I first heard that “The Book of Mormon” was coming to Minneapolis, I was not that thrilled. I had seen an episode of South Park and I disliked the way Trey Parker and Matt Stone wrote it, so I didn’t think that I would really like a musical written by the same people. Then a few months ago, I started listening to music from the show, and I discovered that I liked the music. I started to look forward to seeing the show. But now that I have seen it, I am disappointed. To me it seemed…See More
Emma Dalen's blog post was featuredAida Rocks
When I first heard the music from Aida six years ago, it became one of my favorite musicals. Yet, I was never able to see the show until now. Theater Latté Da’s production of Aida was absolutely fabulous. Aida was created by Elton John and Tim Rice. Theater Latté Da’s version of this show was directed by award winning director Peter Rothstein, with choreography by Ivey award winning, Michael Matthew Ferrell. My favorite actor in the production was Nathan Barlow, who played the character…See More
Erica Solomon commented on Emma Dalen's blog post Aida Rocks"I'm glad you make mention of the history of the show and the elements that make this production unique. You obviously are very savvy about the local theatre scene (so cool that you were already familiar with Nathan Barlow!). The paragraph in…"
Dudley Voigt commented on Emma Dalen's blog post Aida Rocks"Great background knowledge! You did an excellent job informing the reader about how Aida came to be at the Pantages as a local production. It also then provides wonderful context for your comments and I appreciated that you knew so many…"

Dudley Voigt commented on Emma Dalen's blog post Glittering Cakes and Lizards"Really good opening paragraph.
I want more details on what made West's Felicia "amazing and fabulous?"
Considering what a major element the costumes were, I would like more descriptions and/or adjectives.
Think the choreography…"
Erica Solomon commented on Emma Dalen's blog post Glittering Cakes and Lizards"This is a very informational review, especially due to the amount of detail about the show that you include in your introduction, and your age advisory in the conclusion. You are the only reviewer to mention that you had seen the movie, and that…"
Olivia Plaine commented on Emma Dalen's blog post Glittering Cakes and Lizards"Emma, I'm pleasantly surprised you loved this show! I can tell you enjoyed writing this glowing review as much as you enjoyed seeing Priscilla ;) Sidenote: keep sentence endings on your radar when you proof read. In the third paragraph, you…"
Emma Dalen posted a blog postGlittering Cakes and Lizards
Priscilla: Queen of the Desert has been one of my favorite movies ever since I first saw it this Summer. And the Broadway musical was no let down. This fabulous show is about three drag queens from Sydney, Australia who go on a road trip through the Australian desert. Through dangers untold, and hardships unnumbered, they fought their way to Alice Springs. Written by Stephan Elliott and Allan Scott, directed by Simon Phillips, with costume design by Tim Chappel and Lizzy Gardiner.…See More
Dudley Voigt commented on Emma Dalen's blog post Catch Me If You Can"Your paragraphs for both the lighting and the costumes are very strong - lots of descriptive details to support your opinion.
I enjoyed your personal experience in the description of the song "Good Bye" but knowing you are still…"
