{Out and About: The Book of Mormon}

October 18, 2019 by kelerr

This one is going to be short and sweet. As per usual, I am in a whirlwind of busy, crazy exhausted trying to get the musical together as well as an entertaining Halloween costume, and then there’s the added bonus of my sister’s new baby being due any minute now and I found myself with no Friday post for this week. So I put together a little something about my latest Broadway excursion. Last weekend, I have the chance to […]

{Out and About: Into the Woods}

July 12, 2019 by kelerr

My mom and I go see almost every production of Into the Woods that we can find locally. She took me to see it on Broadway for my seventh birthday, and it instilled in me my lifelong love and appreciation of live theater. So over the years its kind of become a thing, even though there is no regularity whatsoever to when we see it, nor do we actively seek out productions of it; we simply see the ones that […]

{The Little Mermaid Costumes, Part Two}

April 19, 2019 by kelerr

It’s time for the second installment of taking a look at the costumes for The Little Mermaid. Last week I outlined some of the major players. This week we’re going to look at some of the other characters, as well as Ariel’s human dresses. Ariel’s Human Dresses All of Ariel’s human costumes were designed to call back to her ocean life. Her main human dress had a pattern on it that reminded me of something that might grow underwater. I […]

{The Little Mermaid Costumes, Part One}

April 12, 2019 by kelerr

This year’s musical feels like whirlwind experience right now, though if you had asked me about it three months ago, I might’ve told you it was going really well, and then gone off and stress cried. But now that we’re a few weeks away from our run, I feel like it all went by in a blur, and I miss it dearly. You don’t truly know until you’re in the trenches of a musical yourself, but you become a family […]

{Out and About: Beetlejuice on Broadway}

April 9, 2019 by kelerr

Though my every Friday night run of shows ended a while ago, I still find every excuse I can to get to the theater. Saturday afternoon I attended a matinee of Beetlejuice: The Musical as part of a belated birthday outing from my mom. Overall, Beetlejuice is fun. I didn’t realize going in just how popular the movie actually was amongst its fans. I like it, I used to watch it a lot when I was younger, but I learned […]

{On Costume Design}

March 29, 2019 by kelerr

This past Wednesday was World Theater Day. I actually didn’t know that until the actual day, but I happened to be reflecting on instagram about costume design. I had posted a picture from The Little Mermaid and wrote some brief thoughts on the subject. I was in kind of a mood so I started playing with some fabric samples for next year’s show, laying them out and looking at them together and I just felt so happy and out of […]

{Out and About: Frozen on Broadway}

March 19, 2019 by kelerr

The Little Mermaid, Jr. has come and gone, and I am going to share my thoughts and pictures of the costumes with my readers, but I still need time to decompress the experience, which was exhilarating and completely exhausting and wonderful. You can look forward to that post hopefully sometime next week. However, when one musical closes it’s doors, another one comes into take it’s place. Last weekend, we announced our 2020 musical: Frozen, Jr! Of course, everyone involved is […]

{Out and About: Alice By Heart}

February 22, 2019 by kelerr

Last week, I finished up my six show series of seeing a show on Friday night. It all began in January with Clueless: The Musical, and it came to a (temporary!) close with Alice By Heart, an off-Broadway show written and directed by Jessie Nelson and music by Duncan Sheik. The show is a twist on the classic Alice in Wonderland story, in which a young woman is using the classic tale to help her cope with the impending death […]

{Out and About: My Fair Lady}

February 12, 2019 by kelerr

Last week, I continued my Friday night theater series, something that started accidentally, but when I discovered that I had booked theater tickets for three Fridays in a row, I started adding more Fridays in to see how many weeks I could go with a Friday theater night (as of right now, February 15 is my last scheduled one). This past Friday was a Christmas gift for my mom, who really wanted to see Laura Benanti in My Fair Lady. […]
