Valentine’s Day weekend felt like the perfect excuse to list some of my favorite love songs in musical theatre. From Pippin to Songs for a New World to Honk!, this list is full of romance, heartbreak, deep cuts, and a few choices that will absolutely start a group chat debate.

Groundhog Day is one of the most underrated musicals of the last decade, funny as hell, sneakily devastating, and way smarter than people give it credit for.

Should The Wedding Singer get a Broadway revival after nearly 20 years? I kind of think yes.

Hot take that shouldn’t be a hot take: The Full Monty is vastly underrated, David Yazbek is one of Broadway’s smartest composers, and this show would hit hard in 2026.

Frank Wildhorn is nothing if not unapologetic. I’ve seen all of his Broadway shows, and I’m ranking them, the good, the flawed, and the one that gets it exactly right.

“December 24th, 9 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.” A lyric that’s become a ritual — and why Christmas Eve might be the perfect night for Jonathan Larson.

Some musicals never really leave you. This is me making the case for The Scarlet Pimpernel — big music, big feelings, and why Broadway could use a revival like this right now.

If you’re choosing a season for a community theatre or college program, give Baby a moment of your time. It’s tender, relatable, and more powerful than people remember.

With the new UK tour of Miss Saigon, I’ve been thinking about what it means to keep reviving a show that’s always been both groundbreaking and problematic.

Can we still love Shakespeare without pretending he’s the gold standard?
