Broadway, Off-Broadway and Stage Productions

[fureverywhere]

Compared to the past Broadway shows are ridiculously overpriced. For Hamilton if you could find tickets they started at what? $200 EACH? Are they insane? In the 70's my parents took with them regularly. Downey's Steakhouse and then a show. Guess it balanced out, rather than find a babysitter take me along and educate me on good theater.

So very many great shows, too many to remember.
Noises Off stands out as one of the funniest productions ever.
A Chorus Line, everyone saw a Chorus Line once if not more.
Woman of the Year-I had the poster for that in my room for many years, Lauren Bacall was incredible.
Little Shop of Horrors-"Feed me Seymour, Ya gotta feed me!". I have plants like that now...probably picking off cats...
Chicago was awesome as was Cabaret.
I got Tim Curry's autograph after Amadeus, I was maybe 5'4, making him 5'2? But what a great actor. Sorry to hear he suffered a stroke a few years back.

The only show I got left home for was Equus, basically a thriller about a stable boy who blinds the horses and then has sex with them...that might have been a bit too grim for a child...then again Sweeney Todd and his meat pies...but THAT was a gay musical

How about you? Memorable stage productions? Were you ever on the stage yourself?

You are right about that. Even this Aussie has seen it in New York city. Hubby and I also saw The Mouse Trap in London. Who can resist seeing such famous and long running shows?

My first world class experience of theatre was in Sydney. The Scottish mother of one of my school friends took us to see Katherine Hepburn and Robert Helpmann in an Old Vic production of The Merchant of Venice. I was enthralled. We were eleven years old at the time.
