Michelle at Cirque Du Soleil Totem!
I love Cirque Du Soleil. When people ask me what the heck the show is all about, I simply describe it as “The Circus for Pretentious People.” I mean there’s clowns, jugglers, high rope acts, and all the trappings of a Circus, but done as only Cirque Du Soleil can do it. How else do […]
Cirque Du Soleil Ovo – A Beautiful Night Under the Big Top! Michelle’s Review
From the moment I saw Dralion, almost ten years ago, I’ve been a fan of the French Performance art group Cirque Du Soleil. When people ask me to describe the almost indescribable I always say it’s simply the Circus for pretentious people. We have high wire people, tumblers, jugglers, clowns, and people who can do […]
Final Fantasy comes to Wolf Trap – Guest Review by Thomas Allen!
Somebody’s getting laid tonight. The stage is set at the Wolf Trap Theatre. A midsummer night’s breeze. The breathless art of Yoshitaka Amano. The operatic and emotional themes of composer Nobuo Uematsu. Cosplayers safely locked away so as not to destroy the high class ambiance. Guys grinning from ear to ear as they guide their […]
Michelle at Wolf Trap – Mamma Mia!
This weekend I finally dragged myself to Virginia to attend my very first show at Wolf Trap – one of our regions premiere summer concert venues. Generally I’m not a fan of attending concerts, especially outdoor events – it’s my anti-crowd bias and I’m a city slicker (ok, I live in the suburbs…), not a […]

American Idiot, Green Day’s Rent for a new Generation. Michelle’s Review
During my recent visit to the Big Apple I decided to catch a Broadway show, I got it into my head that I really wanted to see American Idiot the brand new show based on Green Day’s most famous album. I’ll be the first to admit, I don’t get the Green Day thing. Yeah, I […]
Michelle has a Fun, but Odd Night Out at Grease! Features Taylor Hicks and Ace Young!
Grease is the word, that I heard, it’s got a move, it’s got a groove….After being snowed in for 5 days, I was itching to get out of the house. My first post Snowpocalypse event was taking in an odd, but stellar performance of Grease at The National Theater here in Washington, DC. I didn’t […]
