Our niece went to see Wicked yesterday in Philly ... tomorrow we'll find out how it was. I've been thinking of taking Mare to go see it - but I'm debating whether to go in Philly or NYC. (Not looking forward to the commute up to NYC though ...) I've heard from other sources it was a great show.

I love the two songs "Popular" and "For Good" in that show......I've not seen it, but have heard the sound track......I want to see it so badly!

Great thread!!!...I love musicals and plays. My favorites are really old school..Favorite musical is a toss up between A Chorus Line and Cats..My favorite plays are Arsenic and Old Lace and You Can't Take It With You w/ Jason Robards in the lead....

I'm a bit of a scene/set 'ho myself. I love watching HOW things are put together. I remember a set for "The Night Is A Lonely Hunter" (Carson McCuller) at my college. It was built on three levels with each one being a series of frames. They were meant to represent rooms but also literally frames for each scene as though it were independent of the rest. If you know the play, you know no one is really ever independent of the rest.

Our narrator spoke from various points on this stage setting the scenes. I always thought that bare bones staging was brilliant.

Of course, I also remember the dress rehearsal when the brand-spanking-new computerized (very chi-chi in those days) lightboard ran through ALL the cues in about 10 minutes during our narrator's opening monologue. It was a hoot--DISCO time.

The crew was amused. The director? Not so much.

I am a theatre virgin. I find this rather amusing considering what my honey does for a living.

I don't count the community theatre that I've been to to support my friends. I enjoyed it, but I was there for my friends and, honestly, it lacked some of the magic I'd hope I'd find in a professional production.

Some of my wishlist includes:

Wicked (one of my housemates saw it in Seattle and LOVED it)
Chicago (I love the movie)
Rent (I love the movie)
A Chorus Line (I own the movie...somewhere...and it holds a certain sentimental value to me now)
STOMP! (HAVE to see this one!)
Hairspray (who doesn't love this one?)
The Producers (loved the movie)
Riverdance (okay, I just love dancing)
The Lion King (with 6 days of load in and 15 trucks full of materials, it HAS to be spectacularly fantastic!)

I have no idea what Boeing, Boeing entails but considering Boeing is a mere hour away, maybe I should invest in finding out.

I, however, have no urge to see Phantom at all. It's just not my cuppa.

They took out Contact (for the rating, I believe), but how could they take out .... damn. i can't remember which song I was so upset about. But I was very upset about it when the movie was over and that song was missing!

I have no idea what you are talking about (having not seen it on stage, of course), but if I do get the chance, I'll make a mental note to keep my ears primed for what you are talking about. Who sang it and to whom?

There were several songs missing, in addition to "Contact." All of the "tune ups" and "voice mails" were missing, and were great fun in the stage version. Also, "We're Okay" and "Christmas Day" are left out of the film version.

I saw the stage version of "Rent" about ten times, including twice with the original cast. Amazing. The interesting thing about the film version, though, is that it fills in a lot of the blank spots in the stage show that left me guessing for a while. The movie version of "Chicago" did the same thing, when compared to the stage version.
