Rent + Les Miserables = gooooooood

Haven't seen too many shows but I really have a tough time believing it gets any better than Les Mis.

SPZero · 10-15-2002, 02:16 AM

Rent was damn good.
I usually try and see a couple shows every time I go to new york.
Hot Ticks is good in times square for cheap tickets. There's also
one in the business district somewhere too.

lawson · 10-15-2002, 02:55 AM

i just kinna thought this meant actual shows on broadway, and obviously it means broadway shows that go on a nationwide tour, but is it also applying to low budget productions? (local theater, high schools) well anyway on broadway street i've seen

Beauty and the Beast
The Lion King
Cats
Amadeus

10-15-2002, 04:08 AM

On Broadway:

Cats-good
Man of La Mancha-too young to grasp it
My Fair Lady- great
The King and I- good
Annie- the new ending sucked
Cabaret- Amazing-favorite play I've seen
Miss Saigon- stereotypical garbage.....racist
Phantom-Great
Les Mis- Amazing
Grease- typical
Kiss Me Kate- got better as it went on
Rent- very good but pretentious

Theater Productions

Oliver- Good stuff
Pippen- very very surrealistic at the end
Westside Story- Loved it
Joseph- allright
Gypsy-blech
Oklahoma!- great scenery

Off Broadway

The Blue Man Group: Tubes- the price is intimidating, but it;s worth every penny
Joseph Gabriel- I love sleight of hand magic.

cozmic · 10-15-2002, 04:40 AM

the only shows I've actually seen ON BROADWAY are:

annie get your gun
ragtime

then touring shows that have been on broadway:

aida

1.Are you a girl or a gay man?
2. Have you ever seen a real play where they don't break out into song?
3. Musicals are stupid. However, West Side Story is decent. And that's the only one I have ever seen.

1. you didn't know i was a girl?
2. i saw true west (with john c. reilly and phillip seymour hoffman) and amadeus. you can't get much better than that. you'll find that the there are 5 times more musicals than plays on broadway.
3. don't discredit the musical. there are some amazing ones that even tough guys like you would like.

True West, that's Sam Shepard...or am I mistaken? Regardless, Phillip Seymour Hoffman is one of the best actors in the profession.

If I was living in New York I would have done seen the Crucible with Liam Neeson PDQ. There was another Miller play going at the same time with Chirs O'Donnell that I forgot the name of. It was Miller's first play where he started toying around with the idea and the themes that would later manifest into the great American tragedy, Death of a Salesman. There were a couple of other dramatic plays on Broadway this season that I read about that sounded pretty good. Too bad I could only read about them

I'm sure I could grudgingly admit to enjoying a musical (I did like West Side Story quite a bit), but they're more entertainment for entertainment's sake. Nothing wrong with that, but when I go to the theatre I want to come out with my brain turned inside out.
