“A certain kind of magic is born when the curtain rises. Intoxicated by the smell of the greasepaint and powered by the glow of the footlights, lovers successfully elope, villains get their just deserts and people die in epic stunts and yet live to tell the tale.

It's an inexplicable, delicious, addictive power that keeps people entranced and coming back for more, again and again.”
