🎭🗡️❤️🇫🇷✨👏🏽Amazing Opening Night for LES MISÉRABLES 📍DPAC

The world’s most popular musical is on stage July 15–20, as part of WRAL’s Greatest Hits of Broadway. It’s the epic and uplifting story of Jean Valjean and Fantine’s fight for freedom and love during the French Revolution.

With its brilliant staging, acclaimed production and magnificent score, it’s no wonder this Tony Award-winning musical phenomenon has become one of the most celebrated musicals in theatrical history!

Go “𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒆𝒐𝒑𝒍𝒆 𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒈” songs about broken dreams and unrequited love, passion, sacrifice and redemption – “I Dreamed a Dream,” “On My Own,” “Bring Him Home,” “One Day More,” “Master of the House” and many more!

My family and I had a wonderful time experiencing this epic musical. My favorite quote of the night: “..to love another person is to see the face of God!” Yeah, you might wanna have some tissue on hand if you’re a lover girl like me. There’s also merchandise for sale and make sure to stop by the ‘On the Red Carpet’ Photo Booth to capture the memories of seeing LES MISÉRABLES !

🎟️The digital lottery is now open for LES MISÉRABLES: A limited number of tickets for $40 will be sold to the winners of DPAC’s official lottery.
The lottery will be open from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM the day prior to each performance. Winners will be notified via email within minutes after closing if they have won and have one hour to purchase their tickets. Winning seat locations vary per performance and may be filled as single seats. This offer is online only. To enter, visit DPACnc.com or http://bit.ly/40JUYg6.

Raising a glass to toast Raleigh’s newest patio !

I attended a preview of Peregrine’s 🆕 patio and Herb & Flower Garden, where bartenders & cut from to create refreshing cocktails + delicious bites!

This covered patio is a great place to catch up with friends, enjoy some summer sips and experience a beautiful oasis designed by co-owner and artist . There’s also fire pits, park views and nature that surround this flagship restaurant at The Exchange, located in Midtown. 📍PEREGRINE

LUNCH•DATE .oberlin and I enjoyed checking out 🆕 location and everything was “C’est Bon!”

Located in the Village District, Simply Crêpes offers a variety of dishes from their homespun craft kitchen featuring breakfast, starter & sides, salads, main dishes, desserts, coffee, mocktails as well as a full bar!

✨SIPS | Choose a Mimosa flight or a boozy Coffee flight to begin. Both were a delight and a great way to try a variety of their cocktails!

✨SHAREABLES | Brussels Sprouts with shallots,applewood bacon, maple balsamic & goat cheese are sure to please and great to share! And the Bangin’ Shrimp, which are crepe-battered and tossed in bourbon hot honey were so good! Size does matter to me when it comes to shrimp and these were definitely bangin’! Our server Liam said his favorite is the Charred Ricotta Toast: fresh tomato basil pico, lemon ricotta and charred Texas toast with house bourbon hot honey. It was really good!

✨BREAKFAST | Chicken + Waffles Crepe is a reimagining of the classic dish with hand battered chicken breast, tossed in maple bourbon sauce, applewood bacon and a crepe instead of a waffle! Add on the bacon cream sauce for a nice variation!

The RumChata Banana French Toast deserves a round of applause- this fresh off the griddle dish features Chef’s French Toast, burnt custard, caramelized bananas, RumChata caramel and a sweet surprise! I’m still dreaming about how delicious it was!

✨MAIN PLATES | Seafood Crepe
is for the seafood lovers featuring a seafood medley of scallops, jumbo shrimp, and cod tossed with bell pepper, onion, mushrooms, bok choy in a basil cream sauce, finished with roasted red pepper sauce. We loved the presentation of this tasty dish!

Be sure to check out Simply Crêpes for your next brunch, lunch or anytime date!
🫶🏽Thanks for having me join you for some

Making a JOYFUL noise for 💜
The Color Purple is now on stage thru 6/29!

My attended the Sunday matinee on opening weekend and we all agreed that everyone did a wonderful job bringing this story to the stage! From the band, to the singing voices and acting, you’ll definitely be thrilled and have chills!

Being a fan of the book, the musical + both films, I found this production to be Empowering 💜 Emotional 💜 Enjoyable
———-
This musical adaptation of Alice Walker’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel (and the popular 1985 Steven Spielberg film) spotlights Celie, a downtrodden young woman whose personal awakening over the course of 40 years forms the arc of this epic story. With a joyous score featuring jazz, ragtime, gospel, African music and blues, The Color Purple is a story of hope, a testament to the healing power of love, and a celebration of life.

Book by Marsha Norman
Music and Lyrics by Brenda Russell, Allee Willis, and Stephen Bray
Directed by Tia James
——-
I definitely recommend anyone age 13+ to go and experience the joy and soul of The Color Purple at Raleigh Little Theatre!

Mixology x Meridian ✨🍸✨
Where Sips & Style come together


I attended a Private Mixology Class and it was such a fun way to enjoy a boozy night in complete with spirits, shakers and good vibes!

The event was held inside of Meridian North Hills C1 floor plan. It’s a stunning space to learn how to make beautiful cocktails with Jamye, owner of Get Mixed With Jayme, a mobile bartending business that caters events in the RDU!
We made two refreshing cocktails:
🍸Lavender Lemon Drop
🍹Strawberry Basil Whiskey Sour

Both the cocktails and the apartment complex made a fabulous impression! A great location and a wonderful experience. I would absolutely recommend both. Cheers to an amazing night!

Welcome Bakery & Café to 🎉 I attended the Soft Opening and enjoyed Macarons & Matcha with my daughter - then went back for Coffee & Croissants with my husband! The cafe is aesthetically pleasing and the pastries & coffee were divine! I look forward to trying more in the future.
