SIX


Never has a sextet of triple-threats delivered more 5-star Broadway pizzazz than the 6 wives of Henry VIII do in Six The Musical, now making its 2nd appearance at the Hollywood Pantages Theatre, back in 2026 for a must-see 3-week run.

THE NOTEBOOK THE MUSICAL


Exquisitely staged and performed, the best-selling novel-turned-movie blockbuster-turned Broadway crowd-pleaser The Notebook The Musical, now visiting the Pantages, is the most unabashedly romantic musical since The Bridges Of Madison County, not coincidentally another Nicholas Sparks novel-turned-Hollywood blockbuster, and I loved every gloriously sung and heartstrings-tugging moment of it.

HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD


I’m not what you’d call a fan of the fantasy genre (though I did try to make it through the first Lord Of The Rings movie and the first Harry Potter flick), but even a fantasy curmudgeon like me found myself thoroughly dazzled and ultimately quite moved by Harry Potter And The Cursed Son, now packing them in at the Pantages.

KIMBERLY AKIMBO


It only took me only seconds to fall madly in love with Kimberly Akimbo at the Pantages. No wonder then that David Lindsay-Abaire and Jeanine Tesori’s tuneful, touching adaptation of the former’s outrageously funny, deeply moving play of the same name won five 2023 Tonys including the big one, Best Musical.
