Live theatre fans?
I mean, this is Culture, right?????
I haven't really seen any threads about this here lately. Be it a West End production, on Broadway, Off-off-off Broadway, high school, or just community - what are your favorite shows? What's your favorite musical you've seen? Favorite musicals in general? What's your favorite play you've seen? Favorite plays? Have you ever been in a play/musical (as either behind the scenes or on stage)? I've always been a huge fan of live theatre, even as a small child. It's always something I've enjoyed doing, and I hope to keep doing it most of my life. The best musical I've seen live . . . was probably Phantom. Mind you, I've only seen a few live. I do have quite a few recordings of musicals, though, and my favorite is probably Into the Woods. It's such a good show! I also love Sweeney Todd (not the movie version!!!!), Grey Gardens, Phantom of the Opera, Matilda, Hairspray, Gypsy, A Little Night Music, Sunday in the Park with George, and many more n_n As far as plays go..hm. I've seen a few, and two of my favorites are ones that I actually acted in. The Curious Savage, which is about a millionaire whose stepchildren admit into an insane asylum in order to figure out where she hid their inheritance. The other was The Yellow Boat, where a young hemophiliac contracts HIV during a blood transfusion. It was just so moving. I've been in several plays and musicals. Most recently, I was in a compilation of works of Shakespeare, Christmas Belles, and Bye Bye Birdie!. I'm actually currently in the midst of starting a new show right now (that the director wrote), and the summer musical's auditions are in a few weeks n_n; We're doing Drood and I s2g if I don't get Jasper... But I digress: what about y'all? Any theatre appreciators in the hiz-ouse? |
Surprisingly, yes! I've seen a few plays/musicals: Wicked, Into The Woods, and Billly Elliot. I actually saw Into The Woods on vacation in England in an amphitheater; it was such a surreal experience, let me tell you.
And in high school I participated in drama my senior year. My friends wanted me to do it so I thought there was no harm in it. Both performances I was in were musicals, and through that I discovered I actually had a pretty good singing voice! I was the King in Cinderella and Captain Hammer in Doctor Horrible's Sing-Along-Blog. Both were very fun experiences, although being Captain Hammer was by far my favorite role. |
I've seen a rendition of Matilda and A Christmas Carol, both of which were pretty rad. I've kind of always wanted to go into the theatre arts so I love seeing live productions when I can, albeit few and far between. Whenever an opportunity comes up I'd love to see Wicked, especially if it features Idina Menzel singing Defying Gravity. 8)

1. What's your favorite musical you've seen?
The Sound of Music, Wizard of Oz, or Cats are my favorite shows. I saw cats when I was in 4th grade and I've been singing Memory every day since. 2. Favorite musicals in general? I love pretty much any kind of musical, I prefer it to be done by professionals but you can't always get what you want, and our High School at least did them justice enough. 3.What's your favorite play you've seen? My favorite play was this one called The Foreigner. I don't think I've laughed so hard at a play or anything really my whole life. 4. Have you ever been in a play/musical (as either behind the scenes or on stage) I played Trombone in the pit for our production of Cats after I begged and pleaded for the choir and band director to perform it my freshman year. I was pretty well obsessed with the show for a good long while and our music department always asks the students for suggestions and I got enough people to support Cats to get it approved. It was crap, but playing Memory in front of people was a dream come true. |
