I saw a great production of the play, A Flea in Her Ear, by one of the local unis tonight. It was a wonderful farce with tons of bawdy adult humor and a wicked little BDSM streak.

I was wondering how many of you attend plays? What was the last one you saw? All time fave? Do you have a preference regarding the type of theater you attend? Prefer comedies? Musicals? The classics? Something a little more experimental?

Don't have a chance to see many plays, unfortunately. My all time favorite: A--My Name Is Alice.

I love plays, they are fantastic. I live close enough to NYC that we go to Broadway shows fairly often. The last one that I saw was Aida, which was very good, but my all-time favorite is The Producers, which I saw with Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick. It was very good. I think all in all I prefer the Broadway musical, especially comedies, but I love a good drama. I saw Tony Kushner's Angels In America before it became an HBO movie, and I loved it, but I also thought HBO did a fantastic job with it. The next one I have tickets to is Movin' Out, the show based on the music of Billy Joel. Looking forward to that. I sure hope there's someone else here that shares my affinity for Broadway shows.

I would remove my left kidney with a spoon to see Movin' Out in NYC.

Is that the one about a young girl in the late 60's or early 70's that gets messed up with drugs? I recall reading a book that I think was called that, which was a diary written by a girl who went from being good, to living on the streets pretty much. From what I recall, it was a good book.


As for plays, lordie, I think the last one I attended was probably Rodgers & Hammersteins Carosel. (yeah, I fucked that spelling, but I went through 20 different ones, and none looked right. )

That was back in the 8th grade, and I was in the chorus, as a "child", since it was a high school production, with a few middle school kids.

Ballet's, on the other hand, I've been to probably 5 in the past 6 or 7 years. Most were performed by the only professional ensemble in MI, but I also got to see 1 with the Moscow Ballet, 1 with touring NYC Ballet members, and 1 from the Kansas City Ballet.

Good stuff

Wait, I saw Cat's a few years back. Does that count as a Play, even though it was a musical? Yeah, I suppose it does. -shrugs- I don't know anymore.

I'd love to see Rent, though. That one has interested me since they put it into production.

I have season tickets to a local pro threater group. Also go to the Fringe every year.

I tend to like the smaller productions but every once and a while I like the dazle that comes with the big musicals.

The best fringe show was McHommer - a one person play using the Simpson charaters put to McBeth. I was sore from laughing at the end of that show.

Still love the old Bard, but I also like newer plays.

I LOVE plays!!!

We have a terrific summer playhouse here in RI called 'Theatre by the Sea'. It's less then a mile from the ocean in an old restored building. The grounds surrounding it have an award winning garden you can stroll through during intermission. There have been some famous actors in plays here. Of course my mind has gone blank right now and I can't think of one. lol. We see at least one play there every summer. The last 2 were 'Joseph & the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat' (my favorite) and 'The Sound of Music'.

The University of RI has a great theater dept. & we have been to alot of their productions. Just recently I took my Girl Scout troop there to see 'Romeo & Juliette'. They loved it!!

Our local high school has put on some pretty good performances too. Last year they put on 'Bye Bye Birdie'. This coming weekend my youngest is going to be in 'South Pacific'. Grumble will be going with us to see it.

Theres also Providence Performing Art Center. (PPAC) They put on big shows equal to any I've seen in NYC. Two years ago we saw 'Phantom of the Opera'. This year my daughters saw 'Hairspray' starring that funny guy with the deep voice.... darn it I'm drawing blanks on all names tonight. (my kids say I have 'old-timers' disease)...... (BRATS!!!)

We used to go to NYC once a year to see something on Broadway. But it got so expensive and the local theater is so good, that we stopped going. The last few we saw were 'Sugarbabies', with Mickey Rooney; 'Annie' with Sarah Jessica Parker; and 'Evita', forget who was in that one.

I think live performances are the best! No special effects like in the movies but when you see those actors pouring themselves into their role or singing and dancing with all they've got, its just incredible. Yeah, I guess you could say I like watching plays.

Hehehe....when you're a memeber of the cast, as I often am, people get a bit pissed off if you don't attend!

I've been involved in amateur drama for ten years, and love the theatre, whether on stage back stage or in the audience.

Currently, we're working on a farce similar to the one you've just seen, Lil, although there's not really a BDSM theme (damn!). I get to roll around on the couch with a guy who reminds me a little of Robert Redford......it's a hard life!LOL

I'd love to see more plays...but Mr. Lixy doesn't like to take the time. Don't ask me why. I can't get an answer from him. But, I suspect it has something to do with the fact that they don't have a bar in the theatre! LOL! I know...I know...I've suggested Dinner Theatre, but I think he thinks I'm trying to trick him (kinda like Sharon did to Ozzy to get him into the Betty Ford Center). LMFAO!

Anyway...The last play I saw (can't remember the year) was at a local theatre. A friend's father was playing a part in "Arsonic and Old Lace". I saw a highschool version back when I road my dinosaur to school too. And, I remember watching the movie with my mother a long time ago (can't remember the star, but for some reason I keep thinking Jimmy Stewart).

I'd go and see just about anything. I'd prefer not to see musicals but I'll make exceptions for something like "Bye Bye Birdie" or "Grease"...or along those lines! Oh...and I'd love to see "Evita" and especially "Oh, Calcutta" (what with it being a totally nude play and all... ...)! Does anyone do that one anymore?

Lixy~ I saw Arsenic & Old Lace a couple years ago too.

I go to quite a few of the productions at my college or at FSU. I have gone to some of their Lab type plays. I once saw a girlfriend perform in a play that compared the life/visions of Joan of Arc with that of a young girl in a psych hospital. Was very avant garde. I think it was just called Joan. I heard somewhere that in order for the acting students to graduate here they must perform in a lead role in a play. This causes them to have to put on less traditional type plays due to the lack of mainstream plays available in one semester, so the uni has lots of small lab type theaters and performances.

We get a roving band up here every few years, and catch "Grease"

or something else (if I'm not rostered on).

We're a looooong way from civilisation here.

There's a local crew who do arcane politically and culturally sensitive

presentations, but like everyone else, we just leave them to their devices.
