I do the theater. Never again.

Seen Threepenny Opera eight times. Sting spoiled one of them, big-time.
Only other contender for me in this department is Porgy and Bess, though
a couple of the Sondheims are getting there.

 

It's worth it to investigate the same-day discount ticket booth in Times Square to see which shows are available. Quite a few of the long-running and off-Broadway shows are typically on the board.

 

I lost money on the game but still came out ahead in my estimation.
For the most part, I just don't care for musical theater. It's not my thing.
With the exception of 'Hedwig.'

 

I'm not a huge musical theatre fan but West Side Story may be the single best American one ever.

And I went to see the Lloyd-Weber production of Sound of Music here in Toronto three times. And not just because HC was in it.

Opening night, a performance in November '09 and closing night, the latter mostly for the cast party afterwards. It was a great friggin' production and I had never seen the movie.

 

You better watch out. Somebody's going to put you out in the cold rain and snow.

 

I saw that group when they came through here. They were really, really good. It was my first time of seeing AQ (but I knew the entire soundtrack) but some of the lines in the middle just got me and I laughed so hard I cried.

 

Despite 21's post, as a lifeliong Beatles fan I absolutley loved Love when I saw it in Vegas 3 years ago.. my first Cirque show. Saw "O" the follwing year and it wasn't bad. The commercials alone made me never want to see Banana Schpiel.

The new Twyla Tharp/Sinatra musical on B'way, "Come Fly Away," is freaking spectacular.
Also loved Jersey Boys (hey, the Four Season are my people) road show that I saw in Vegas. Expecting to go see it again soon on B'way.

 

Has anyone seen the West Side Story production that's on Broadway now? Any thoughts?

 

That's what she said.

 

Go see "Million Dollar Quartet". If you liked those shows, you'll like this one too.

 

Million Dollar Quartet is definitely on the list, Yankee. As is Rock of Ages.
It's all a matter of discount tickets and timing. This stuff can get very expensive.

Also really enjoyed God of Carnage with Jimmy Smits, Kenneth Stott, Annie Potts and Christine Lahti
