We went back to see this one after Emily saw it while Dustin and I were watching Phantom, as she quite liked it. Was great to see Patti LuPone, who I'd see again 15 years later.

About the show
Patti LuPone makes theater history in the quintessential American musical. Curtain up! Light the lights! Be there as Broadway’s leading lady takes on its greatest role, in this new production staged by the show’s author himself: theater legend Arthur Laurents. These two mega-talents join forces, and the result is “as close to perfection as anything you’ll see.” (New York Daily News). Everything’s coming up roses at last, as Broadway’s powerhouse performer takes on the role she was born to play.
