If/Then

The only thing I knew about If/Then was that it was a "sliding doors" story. But that was enough to hook me. Oh, and it was originally a Broadway hit, starring Idina Menzel. Which made it a surprising pick for a Neglected Musicals production. But anyway. I went to see it at the Hayes Theatre.

It was an enthralling experience. Partly because of how the barebones way it was performed made it feel timeless, and partly because the theme of "what if" feels so timely at this point in my life.

Almost every musical this year, I keep thinking, "This is the best musical I've seen all year!" But they just keep raising the bar.
