LOVE live theatre.

The touring company of B'way's LaCage revival is at Kennedy Center sometime soon (I've got the clipping up on my fridge). Hoping to catch that.

Haven't been to a Broadway show (on Broadway proper) since Wicked opened and Taboo!

I read that Kristen Chennoweth might play Tammy Faye in an upcoming musical. I'd LOVVVVVE to see that.

on stilts

absolutely. i'm a huge fan of the guthrie's theater productions, here in minneapolis

Imago.

Genesia.

2012 is the year of broadening my horizons.

Seriously, isn't Theater a part of being a well-cultured person? Like I said, at this age I've seen a total of 3 shows.

It's not like I'm heading to the Opera any time soon.

for good measure.

Is that what you're calling it these days?

Opera is a lot manlier than show tunes.

Lawd, I really need to learn how to spell

I thougth you were talking about this:

In which case, I would have agreed with you.

I've only seen one show on Broadway, called The Tap Dance Kid, which originally starred Alphonso Ribera. It was really good, but has obviously not proven to be a classic.

But in LA I did see Evita and The Pirates of Penzance. Probably saw others, but I can't remember at the moment.

And last month I saw something called The Wild Bride, which was like Broadway, but smaller.

I see why people would not like musicals, but I think they are great for what they are. I haven't seen too many, but they are huge spectacles. It is great to see so much talent and effort and organization come together.

Like Chocolate1 said, i'd rather see a concert.

I don't mind them.... I've seen quite a few in the West End but only usually because someone else has booked them for me. The only one i've actually booked to see myself was Thriller because I knew my kids would like it.

I cannot bear to watch musical films though.

I tend to like them better than movies. Though I don't get to see them as often as I'd like. Nothing like Broadway spectaculars here, but a lot of playhouses around. Maybe that should be one of my resolutions.

This thread has a feminine flavor considering how many dudes have posted.

As far a musicals go, Phantom is top of the line...don't go see anymore.

Avenue Q....isn't that those disgusting sex cracking muppets?

meh.

Oddly,enough that was the first musical I saw on Broadway. It was weird because they had woman playing men who dressed up as women. Not my cup a tea, but have fun.

Never cared for many of them but I absolutely loved this one......

wouldnt mind taking my son to see this

Yeah...Imago already slapped me with a pink purse.

I saw "Phantom" with the ex about 14 years ago.

My last show was "Chicago", post 9/11 when tickets were being discounted to "bring people back".

So do I lose "man-points" with this endeavor then???

One of the worst fights Sweetie and I ever had was over going to see Phantom in London. He loves that show, while I think anything involving Andrew Lloyd Webber is

Love musicals, love dramatic theatre, too!!!

The first Broadway shows I ever saw as a 1o yr old:

then in my teen years

My feelings? Not if you go with a chick and order beer from the bar...

But this sense of needing to feel "cultured" seems off to me....I'm mid 40's, I know what I like, and cavier ain't it.

Ultimately, we're just giving you a hard time over nothing...if you want to go, I'm not begrudging that decision (it's your purse).

Exactly the kind of production I was saying I don't like. And too many others have tried to copy him.

Writers, producers. Producers, writers. Whatever. I don't like ALW's "plays".

i've never been to one. maybe one day?
