Realizing that many people on this board live other places than NYC, I am curious to know what was the last piece of theatre you saw and what was your favorite moment in it? Was it a high school performance of Guys and Dolls in Akron, Ohio?
Mine: I saw 'night, Mother on Broadway last week and my favorite moment was when Thelma (Brenda Blythen) finally started to cry and fell to her knees. Then when her daughter came out of the bedroom and saw her mother on the floor, Thelma acted like she was just there picking up the manicure set she had thrown on the floor earlier. So sad.
Next?

um I was a part of the show Annie Get Your Gun... I've been seeing Les Mis 10th about a million times for the past 6 months.
I am coming to a blank... I know I watched something after AIDA, but not on Broadway

Posted: 1/12/05 at 6:20pmthe last show i saw was hairspray on bway. It was my second time and i enjoyed it very much. I don't really have a favorite moment though.
"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell

Posted: 1/12/05 at 6:27pmI just saw La Cage Aux Folles....la romance, la spectacle!!! Amazing!!
And the other thing about the Phantom Lady was, Bert, she realized, in the city that never sleeps...
What did she realize, Kitten?
That all the songs she'd listened to, all the love songs, that they were only songs.
What's wrong with that?
Nothing, if you don't believe in them. But she did, you see. She believed in enchanted evenings, and she believed that a small cloud passed overhead and cried down on a flower bed, and she even believed there was breakfast to be had...
Where?
On Pluto. The mysterious, icy wastes of Pluto.

Posted: 1/12/05 at 6:31pmSaw Avenue Q and Producers a week ago today. Q was the night show so I will say that was the last I saw. My favorite part was when Rod sang Fantasies Do Come True. It was just great.

Posted: 1/12/05 at 6:31pmThe last thing I saw was The Lion King in Boston. It was a great show (much more enjoyable than the first time I saw it). The best part was being with my friends (who I don't see as much as I want to) and seeing my little brother's (12) face light up when he saw the performance. Sappy, I know, but it was great

There's always room for pathos - and jazz hands.

An unspeakably bad production of The Rocky Horror Show in Brisbane, Australia, where the Frank'n'Furter was entirely charisma-free.
I hold out greater hopes for the production I'm currently working on in Sydney: a political thriller by Stephen Sewell entitled "Myth, Propoganda and Disaster in Nazi Germany and Contemporary America". A production recently opened in England and Harold Pinter wrote to the author saying it was the best play he'd seen in the last ten years and he wished he'd written it!

Hey, surefinewhatever...I'M A CAPPIE!!! Whereabouts do you live?
The last show I saw was Rhinoceros, by Eugene Ionesco at Catholic University.
"This is what I trained to do, and this is what I love about theater. What I love about being an actress is being able to really look into myself and understand another human being. And out my own self, to shape and form and fashion a real human being--and to present that in such a way that people see something of themselves or their own understanding in that human being."

Funny Girl - local production.
The new show I'll likely be seeing is a regional production of Miss Saigon, which should be...interesting.
