Can't Miss Shows of the Spring Broadway Season
The Odyssey Online

This past fall season on Broadway was amazing and really groundbreaking, especially with the revolutionary musical Hamilton. Now, it is the beginning of the next half of the Broadway Tony season, which is usually filled with most of the contenders for the Tony Awards. Here is a quick guide of what to expect on the Great White Way and some mention of affordable Off-Broadway greats!

1. Waitress

This show has been anticipated for a few years now. It has an amazing composer and lyricist in Grammy winner Sara Bareilles and the direction of Tony award winner Diane Paulus. On top of that, it is the first show to have an all-female production team. It stars Tony award winner Jessie Mueller. Based on a cult classic film, this show is baked to perfection!

2. Tuck Everlasting

This is another show adapted from a movie (it's a trend this season) that has a real folk sound to the score, and it has also been buzzed about for a couple of years. Some great names in the cast (Carolee Carmello and Andrew Keenan-Bolger!!) It's a story for all ages and keeps you young forever!

3. American Psycho

Are we shocked? Another show based on a movie but this is coming from London so it has to be good right? There is a mini Next to Normal reunion in this show with Tony winner Alice Ripley and Jennifer Damiano, but it's another highly anticipated show of the spring season.

4. Fully Committed

Jesse Tyler Ferguson, returning to Broadway and playing over 40 roles! Sounds like One Man Two Guvnors all over again, but still a monumental piece of the spring season.

5. Long Day's Journey into the Night

Eugene O'Neill's classic autobiographical play starring Jessica Lange of American Horror Story. It has been a while since she has been on Broadway, along with some of the stars in the play. Check it out if you have a chance. (You also may see a familiar face at the merchandise booth)

Now some Off-Broadway gems:

6. Dear Evan Hansen

Ben Platt. Michael Grief. Pasek and Paul. ENOUGH SAID. Definitely Broadway bound.

7. The Woodsman

Hands down the best piece of non musical theatre I have seen since Curious Incident last season. You do NOT want to miss this.

8. The Robber Bridegroom


Steven Pasquale and a short fun musical, you do not want to miss!

Here are some suggestions for the spring season. Make sure you look out for them at the Tony's!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
