I got a chance to see wicked and I had a blast, I've been pretty much trying to find an excuse to go see another show even if they're a little pricey https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTvCaFpiO7A anything I should look out for? also its true about that southpark episode, taking your woman out to a play pretty much guarantees sex afterwards

Magius makes a substantial thread? Wow! I went to see Spider Man Turn off the Dark which is a dumpster fire beyond just the title of the play. -Mixed the story of Spiderman with greek mythology??? The mythological Arachne gives Spiderman his powers? -Stunts using pulleys and poo poo across the stage which resulted in injuries for the stunt actors. -The above meant this was the most expensive Broadway play to ever produce. -Arachne has a song and dance number about her love for shoes. Get it??? CAUSE SHE'S A SPIDER WITH 8 LEGS??? -The preview screening version was much longer than the final cut and had to go through 182 preview performances because it was that bad. When we left the theater for a preview play we saw crowds of people asking the creator questions and she was visibly upset. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spider-Man:_Turn_Off_the_Dark Putty fucked around with this message at 01:47 on Jan 9, 2018 |

Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark is a 2010 musical with music and lyrics by U2's Bono and The Edge, with arrangements and orchestration by David Campbell, and a book by Julie Taymor, Glen Berger, and Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa I remember way back in the day I saw 3~ people try to recreate Shakespeare plays and give them modern wacky twists like codpieces for their uniforms and their weapons having fast food advertisements and recreating the Hamlet assassination scenes with Psycho shower scenes. It was weird but I enjoyed it.

Darkness is the absence of light much like how cold is the absence of heat. You cannot turn off the dark.

when i went to see wicked in london half the audience didn't return after the intermission. idk if they didnt like it or literally just dont know how plays work and thought it was over because the big number from all the promotional stuff immediately precedes it. but i'm inclined to believe the latter. anyway les miserables is the best musical you should see that. if youre down for opera maybe pick a random puccini opera and go see that, went to a production of tosca a while back that was set in mussolini era italy complete with nazi flags everywhere and that sure was a thing but i think it worked overall

I despise musicals but some plays are alright. There's a classical Shakespeare Globe Theatre in Staunton near me that puts on good shows. Saw the Merchant of Venice and Othello there years ago and it was cool. E: Opera is cool too though. I especially like the old German stuff like the Magic Flute by Mozart. I like the Italian stuff too but I think the music in German opera is better. Honky Dong Country fucked around with this message at 02:16 on Jan 9, 2018 |

I saw Julius Caesar in high school at our city's big main theatre and it was kinda weird cuz they made it "modern." It had lots of weird lighting and sound effects, almost like it was overproduced? I also got to see "Turning of the Screw" there and it was pretty neat. We also have a dinner theatre place that does musicals. You eat lunch/dinner, they do the first half of the show, then there's an intermission so you can go to the bathroom, and then the second half. I've seen, uh, 6 or 8 shows there. Pretty fun place.

Sparse set pieces and costume appropriate to the period. It really put the focus on the Shakespeare and was awesome. The only downside to that place, which is still kinda cool in its own way, is that it's modeled so closely after the Globe that all the seating is wooden benches and poo poo. You can even rent a cushion for like a buck or two lmao. It's a good experience overall though and I really need to go back at some point. I keep hoping I'll find a woman that's into that kind of thing that I could take because none of my friends are gonna put up with Shakespeare lmao.

Yeah, it was really weird to see the difference between the JC production and Turning of the Screw. The latter was really sparse and had very few props on stage, relying mostly on the actors. I liked it a lot more. Also one of the actors came to our class the day after to discuss the play and a few other things with us, which was neat.

I went to New York in the summer and caught a couple of shows (Wicked and Waitress). It's pretty dope, whether the show itself is any good or not it's like the NBA of music. Everybody on the stage would have been the best that ever came out of my lovely home town I

When I was a kid every year Gramma would take us to see the Mikado in Seattle. Lotta good songs in that play. "The Fiddler on the Roof," and "Three Little Girls From School," to name a couple. I would watch with her little binoculars to see if I could catch any one coughing or breaking character but I hardly ever did.

I've seen an absolute shitload of plays and musicals and by far the worst was a preview showing of Fram by Tony Harrison, a guy who has apparently won a bunch of literary awards. The play is about three and a half hours long and done entirely in very, very bad verse, and includes such recurring themes as ghosts eating vomit. There's a scene where a ship (er, it might have been a plane, it was literally a decade ago) was supposed to rise from the stage while some "poet" with his mouth stitched shut wailed incoherently. Except, at the preview I was at, there was some kind of technical malfunction and the ship didn't come up as planned, and this guy with his mouth stitched shut is just scream-humming incoherently for like ten minutes straight, and we all kind of assumed it was some edgelordy way to end the play until a stagehand came out and apologized for the problem. Honorable mention for bad plays goes to The Hour We Knew Nothing Of Each Other which can be visually fantastic if put on well, but just has absolutely nothing at all interesting to say (no pun intended, honest).

I auditioned for a role in a local production of Glengarry Glen Ross which ended up being a mostly female cast just on accident cause not a lot of men auditioned. I'm glad I didn't get the part, that would have taken up way too much of my time.

Listen, Biff. You get yourself some dry rear end Arthur Miller scripts and learn what modern theatre is all about. Edgy reportorial theatre not withstanding.
