Ryan Shea has spent the previous two seasons with the Pittsburgh Penguins and has played 70 combined games, compiling three goals and six points. He has been mostly used in a depth role as the Penguins’ seventh/eighth defenseman, but there have been times when he has needed to play on an every-night basis due to injuries. The Penguins brought him back for the 2025-26 season on a one-year…

After rarely seeing a musical at Shae’s, I found the environment to be extraordinary from Phantom of the Opera. My favorite scene was the Chandelier falling and it’s affects, ability to surprise, and attention to detail, all continued throughout the show. I was so happy to see it just for the scenery. Every scene was another added element. The curved wall that represented back stage and it’s hidden staircase were all so carefully thought out. It is amazing to see how much scenery is prepared in the real backstage for in order to take it on tour, it takes ten busses!

Sadly the performers weer not as up to par, even some of the costumes were a little cliche. For me it is so hard to pay attention to a musical when the singing isnt the best, I think that is why I liked the prologue so much. Completely instrumental, it heightened the drama of the Chandelier being revealed.
