It's playing at HCT, I guess. Too bad about Peter Pan :(<br /><br />Annette, I've yet to see Wicked, but everyone I know has raved about it. I'd love to see it somewhere.<br /><br />1stdaughter, I admit I love both local and professional. I obviously experience more local :)<br /><br />Crystal, that sounds like an experience! How nice of you to let the diehards go, though :)melissa @ 1lbrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03292714636311546457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5537602474198205550.post-49640752044222144162010-11-07T11:46:52.152-07:002010-11-07T11:46:52.152-07:00I definitely prefer to support local theater if I ...I definitely prefer to support local theater if I were to go watch it :) I haven't ever been to NYC, and really have no big desire to go. I almost saw a Shakespeare play in London by The Royal Shakespeare Company, but we couldn't get enough tickets for our entire group so I let the diehard fans go :)Crystal (I totally paused!)http://www.dorolerium.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5537602474198205550.post-16590285338007435402010-11-06T20:16:37.565-07:002010-11-06T20:16:37.565-07:00After having seen shows locally as well as in NY I...After having seen shows locally as well as in NY I honestly don't think it makes a difference. I think the NY thing is more of a novelty than anything, though it's obviously still a very fun experience. <br /><br />When we lived in Virginia one of our favorite things there was the Shakespeare theater just 30 minutes away. It was the only replica of the actual one his plays were put on by originally and the acting was amazing! Plus, season tickets were dirt cheap! Such a great date night!The1stdaughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03701783270303914306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5537602474198205550.post-5948364182133551442010-11-06T14:06:04.916-07:002010-11-06T14:06:04.916-07:00Loved Phantom -- have seen it a couple of times --...Loved Phantom -- have seen it a couple of times -- the first time with my new "boy friend" (who is now my husband)-- that was about 12 years ago. I would recommend Wicked if you get a chance. I could go on, but I know it's expensive, and I just enjoy seeing our high school kids do the older ones. They usually do a great job!Annette Millshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13850197520930988077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5537602474198205550.post-38746877433813228372010-11-06T12:03:06.039-07:002010-11-06T12:03:06.039-07:00That's sad you didn't end up with tickets ...That's sad you didn't end up with tickets to the The Scarlet Pimpernel, because as you know if you've read my post today, it's one of my favorites! (Though I didn't even realize it was playing around here right now!)<br /><br />We just saw Peter Pan last night at the jr. high, but it was a completely different version from the one I'm familiar with, so we were kind of disappointed.Sueyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02926501219758538615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5537602474198205550.post-16851267375527259802010-11-06T11:44:16.684-07:002010-11-06T11:44:16.684-07:00Someday I hope to experience a Broadway play and t...Someday I hope to experience a Broadway play and the night life of NYC.CMashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02127437807115591580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5537602474198205550.post-50281811249245469192010-11-06T11:25:40.780-07:002010-11-06T11:25:40.780-07:00When I was creating my post, I totally forgot abou...When I was creating my post, I totally forgot about the other theater productions I've attended...Shakespearean productions in Ashland, Ore., and the Music Circus in Sacramento, CA, which was great "theater in the round." For that one, I saw The Man of La Mancha."<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by my blog.Laurel-Rain Snowhttp://laurelrainsnowcreations.com/noreply@blogger.com
