Time to go see a holiday musical! Hey there musical theatre lovers! Well, it’s been a little while since I last sent out an email update. I’ve been using Twitter for a quick notice of every new listing, but in so doing, I confess I’ve neglected the good old reliable email newsletter, partly because I hesitate to email people unless I have a bundle of updates to share, and that hasn’t occurred in a while. But it has now! I’ve added a slew of holiday shows that have just hit the stage or are right around the corner: ...Continue Reading
