Merrily We Roll Along
★★★★★ Liked Watched

2026 Library Ladder Challenge, June I. Watch a filmed version of a stage show.

I was lucky enough to see this production in December 2023. I loved it, and I think this recording does a solid job of capturing the performances that made it such a palpable hit. I adore Jonathan Groff and Daniel Radcliffe, and they both completely deserved their Tonys. Lindsay Mendez would have been a very deserving winner too. Personally, I'd also have nominated Krystal Joy Brown…

Sense and Sensibility
★★★★★ Liked Rewatched

Just reread the book and, of course, I pictured all the characters as these wonderful actors, so I had to watch the movie again. Emma Thompson did such a great job with the screenplay, Ang Lee with the direction, all of the actors, and every aspect of the production, all outstanding. I don't know if even Jane Austen herself could find a single fault with this adaptation. Oh, happy sigh.

Bono & The Edge: A Sort of Homecoming with Dave Letterman
★★★★★ Liked Watched

I found it very relatable when Letterman was standing next to The Edge and The Edge played "Where the Streets Have No Name" and Letterman was like "please do it again."

Listen. Listen. I adore U2, and for me this was totally delightful. They even filmed parts of it in Marsh's Library, as if to say, "this one's for all our rare book librarian fans." I'm touched. 🥲
