I’m not going to lie to you and pretend that I’ve always been a fan of Alicia Keys’ music. I’ll admit to being charmed by her debut in 2001, and even buying and enjoying her first CD, Songs in A Minor. But when a storm…
Note: This review reveals minor details of the musical/movie’s plot. Anyone that knows me knows of my love for musicals. RENT, Avenue Q, Phantom of the Opera, Oklahoma, West Side Story; the list goes on and on and I love them all.
