Musicals
After being a great fan of Andrew Lloyd Webber's version of The Phantom of the Opera, my daughter and I were honored to play in the orchestra of a local production of the musical! When researching the storyline by reading the original book and watching other versions on Phantom, I thought it would be fun to create a Phantom party. I was inspired to share what I found as far as the story and ideas to hold a masquerade ball!

My musical training is very classically based, but I still love good old rock and roll music! I performed in a production of Leader of the Pack: The Ellie Greenwich Story in 2011 in another local musical theatre. The musical is a true story of a young female composer in the 1960s. Her name is not well known to modern music fans, but the songs that she composed for tons of famous musical acts remain as loved tunes over the generations.
