I love performing arts, mostly theatre (plays), some ballet. What was the last performing arts event you attended?

I saw "Follies" on Friday night at Theatre Works here in AZ. I really enjoyed the story, and most of the acting. There was one main character I thought was really miscast, and it bothered me throughout the production. The choreography was really fun and well done.

Here's the excerpt from the page:

Stephen Sondheim's Epic Masterpiece


An old, dusty curtain rises to the sound of soft timpani… experience a surreal, sophisticated, compelling, heart-wrenching and epic theatrical event.

A reunion of Follies performers in a crumbling theatre sets the stage for a parade of colorful and brilliant numbers. The FOLLIES score is considered by some to be Stephen Sondheim’s greatest masterpiece, overflowing with such classic songs as “Losing My Mind,” “I’m Still Here,” “Too Many Mornings,” and “Broadway Baby.”

On its surface, FOLLIES is about a reunion of retired performers. They have come together to meet one last time in a crumbling theater on the night before it is to be torn down. On closer examination, Follies is a surreal, agonizing examination of life, theatre, and the great mystery of “the road you didn’t take.”
