What I liked

(copied from above)
The music was amazing — I’m still humming the melodies that stuck with me days later. “The Man I Used to Be” was a standout, and the melancholic “Belladonna Hotel” song perfectly captured the haunting.

What I didn't like

We enjoyed it all!

My overall impression

I went to see Belladonna Highway with my sister, and it was completely up our alley — crime, romance, mystery, and the supernatural! We were captivated the whole way through!

The music was amazing — I’m still humming the melodies that stuck with me days later. “The Man I Used to Be” was a standout, and the melancholic “Belladonna Hotel” song perfectly captured the haunting.

We were so impressed by the actors and their talent. Their voices were powerful and expressive in the intimate space. My sister didn’t even realize at first that the piano accompaniment was being played live until it was a little bit into the show! Once she realized, she was even more impressed!

The attention to detail also added so much to the experience — especially Margo’s hair and styling, which instantly brought us back to that classic era and deepened the noir aesthetic. We also liked the background images that transported us, too.

Story-wise, I laughed out loud more than once, and there was a moment that genuinely made me gasp — I did not see it coming at all. Even the ending kept me guessing!

The crowd and overall vibe made the night even better. There was a real buzz in the room, and you could feel how engaged everyone was. We thoroughly enjoyed the show and would check into the Hotel Belladonna again!
