Broadway in Cincinnati Presents Kinky Boots at the Aronoff

Broadway in Cincinnati Presents Kinky Boots at the Aronoff

My laptop died over the holidays, and I used the opportunity to spend some time offline and work on other projects that needed my attention.  I missed a few emails along the way, and didn’t spend an inordinate amount of time doing anything online.  So when it came time to go see Kinky Boots at...
Broadway in Cincinnati Presents Irving Berlin's White Christmas

Broadway in Cincinnati Presents Irving Berlin’s White Christmas

There’s something truly special about going to the theater during the holiday season.  Going to a show can be a very special holiday tradition, and Broadway in Cincinnati is helping make that special tradition happen by bringing Irving Berlin’s White Christmas to life at the Aronoff Center.  I grew up loving old movies, and White...

The Children’s Theatre Presents: A Charlie Brown Christmas {GIVEAWAY}

One of my all time favorite holiday traditions is to spend a day downtown with our children taking in the sights and lights, going to the Taft Theatre for the Children’s Theatre Holiday show and then having dinner at one of our favorite downtown restaurants.  The Children’s Theatre kicks off our holiday season each year...

We had the opportunity to attend Broadway on Cincinnati’s latest show at the Aronoff on Opening Night this week…Pippin!  I’ve been to Broadway shows in London, New York, and countless shows right here in Cincinnati, and Pippin was a show like no other.  We all know that in order for performers to be cast for...

Disney’s The Little Mermaid JR. {GIVEAWAY}

I feel like we’ve been attending Children’s Theatre productions for so long now that we are bound to see a duplicate, but no…each year the Children’s Theatre comes up with an awesome new lineup.  And this year takes the cake in my humble opinion.  They are opening with one of my all time favorites, Disney’s...

Cyrano de Bergerac presented by the Cincinnati Shakespeare Company

This past weekend a new play opened up in town, and you will want to check it out before it’s run ends.  Cyrano de Bergerac presented by the Cincinnati Shakespeare Company is an excellent show, and not just for adults.  I took my ten year old son with me because we are trying to expose...
Broadway in Cincinnati presents Motown the Musical

Broadway in Cincinnati presents Motown the Musical

Motown the Musical has arrived in Cincinnati and we were lucky enough to catch the opening night performance tonight and it was SPECTACULAR.  I’d go so far as to say it’s one of my favorite Broadway in Cincinnati shows that I’ve seen.  It was a music history lesson and dance party all rolled into one.  I...
2015 Free Shakespeare in the Park presented by Cincy Shakes

2015 Free Shakespeare in the Park presented by Cincy Shakes

­ The Cincinnati theater scene is pretty awesome and has a lot to offer, but when you have a large family sometimes it’s not in the budget to take in many shows and performances.  Luckily though we have a pretty wide array of FREE performances in our area, from stage productions to concerts.  And the...

I Love Lucy® Live on Stage at the Aronoff Center

Confession:  I grew up with a love for old movies and tv shows.  I LOVED the classics.  On the weekends we’d go to our local video store and get some old classic movies and shows on VHS…yes, that long ago.  I am a huge fan of I Love Lucy…it’s hilarious!   I’ve failed as a...

Review :: Disney’s Aladdin JR Presented by The Children’s Theatre of Cincinnati

Tonight was opening night for Disney’s Aladdin JR, presented by the Children’s Museum of Cincinnati at the Taft Theatre.  I’m going to go ahead and start this post by saying that this was my favorite Children’s Theatre production to date.  Maybe it’s because I’ve been obsessed with Disney’s Aladdin since it was created (I can...

ALICE (in Wonderland) at the Aronoff

Tonight Ella and I had a mother-daughter Valentine’s outing, and the highlight of our evening was the Queen of Hearts.  After a delicious dinner at Wunderbar in Covington we went to the Aronoff Center downtown to see the Cincinnati Ballet’s production of ALICE (in wonderland).  It was magnificent, mesmerizing and magical.  Alice was adorable, the...
Cincinnati Ballet presents ALICE {GIVEAWAY}

Cincinnati Ballet presents ALICE {GIVEAWAY}

I have a confession to make, I’ve only ever been to one ballet, and that is The Nutcracker.  I have seen it several times over the years, but I have yet to see another Cincinnati Ballet performance.  Not for lack of wanting, but because I just couldn’t make it happen.  That is all about to...
