Finger Lakes Musical Theater Festival

I remember when I first fell in love with musical theater. When I was in 6th grade we took a field trip to Toronto to see Phantom of the Opera. I still remember getting a little teary eyed when Christine hit that note in "The Phantom Of The Opera". I had never seen talent like that before! Since then, I've seen the Phantom at least 5 times and I still get caught up in the moment and seeing the music come alive! 

Musical theater is something I enjoy sharing with my family too! We've been to see shows like The Lion King, Phantom Of The Opera, Annie, and most recently I took Evelyn to see Beauty And The Beast.

My love for musical theater is why I was so excited to learn about the start of the third season of the Finger Lakes Musical Festival! The festival showcases "Broadway in the fingerlakes" at 3 different venues in Auburn, NY. The season lasts from May 29th to Oct. 18th and features 200+ performances of seven productions.

Productions include:  “Mary Poppins,” “Damn Yankees,” “On the Town,” “The Will Rogers Follies,” and “The Church Basement Ladies: The Last (Potluck) Supper” at the Merry-Go-Round Playhouse, and “Menopause The Musical” at MGR Downtown at Auburn Public Theater

We'll be making the trip to Auburn this week to see a performance of Mary Poppins at the Merry-Go-Round Playhouse! Auburn is only about an hour drive away and there's so much to do I'm hoping to stay the night and do some exploring the next day.
