Re: How often do you go to the theatre?

last play we saw was Spamalot and I thought it was hi-larious!

i like musicals, but not the cheesy Oklahoma musicals.

i wish we could go more often, but some shows are just not affordable

Re: How often do you go to the theatre?

I really don't enjoy going, but DH's parents go all the time, so I go a lot. I prefer the ballet or anything where there is dancing....

Re: How often do you go to the theatre?

Not too often anymore - maybe once every 18 months or so. There has not been anything I really want to see or worth the money lately (this is for bway) but I LOVE going. I love live performances - I was lucky my parents enjoyed it and used to take us and most of my culture days in HS (field trips) were to matineesso I have been many times.

I don't have a particular genre that I lean towards. I was surprised I didn't care for Les Mis, I loved Miss Saigon and was shocked that one of my favorites was Annie Get Your Gun with Reba Mcintire (totally slaughtered her name).

I was recently talking to DH about checking out off bway. Other then I love you, you're perfect, now change is the only one I have seen so far.

Re: How often do you go to the theatre?

You know what's funny? I wanted to see les Mis for years and years. I finally saw it and I really didn't like it. I didn't dislike it, but I didn't love it. And I think I actaully saw Miss Saigon twice, but I basically hated it

Re: How often do you go to the theatre?

loved miss saigon...was eh about les mis. i really loved Jesus Christ Superstar

Re: How often do you go to the theatre?

I go a lot - in the summer I'd say I go once every two weeks or so - during the school year, maybe once a month or twice a month. I belong to theatermania so I'll see most things cause I'm only paying $5.

I prefer to see dramas - off broadway.

The last thing I saw was yesterday - the Synge Cycle. The complete plays of John Millington Synge (6 plays) in one day - 8.5 hours.

LONG but great!!!!!!!!!!!!

The BEST thing I've seen in years was PILLOWMAN - how that lost to DOUBT is beyond me.

Am looking forward to sleeping out in central park to get tickets to meryll streep in Mother Courage - dont like the play, but she's worth it!

Re: How often do you go to the theatre?

About 2x a year - wish I could go more often but its .

Re: How often do you go to the theatre?

Much less often than I'd like to. It's literally been YEARS since I last saw a play. The last thing I saw was Lion King. I would love to see the Producers, Spamalot, or Wicked.

Re: How often do you go to the theatre?

Once or twice a year.

Re: How often do you go to the theatre?

I have only been to one play in College and only because I took a theatre course othewise I'm not really into plays or broadway shows.

Re: How often do you go to the theatre?

I usually see two shows a year. I usually ask for Broadway tickets for either my birthday or Christmas.

Re: How often do you go to the theatre?

When I lived in the city for 8+ years I used to go all. the. time. I became friendly w/ the guys who played the steel drums @ the TKTS booth in TS. I love the theatre!!

Since I've moved to the boonies (Nassau) and had kids, I've gone *maybe* 3x.

Re: How often do you go to the theatre?

I would like to go more often...

Re: How often do you go to the theatre?

I would say maybe 2-3x a year.
I saw Cats (in Smithtown), and Mama Mia (broadway) already this year. In August we are going to see The Wedding Singer.
There are still many more I would like to see..
Hairspray
Spamalot
The Drowsy Chaperone
are just a few to add to my list.

Re: How often do you go to the theatre?

Well, seeing as it's my job...way too much!!!

I guess it boils down to about once a week. I've had to sit through 10 shows for work since April, and I often have to see things relating to my job, but not at our theatre.

When I lived in NY, I worked the ballet - during our spring season, I was at the theatre 3 times a week for two months straight!!!

Jennifer - just a theatre nut or do you work in the industry?

Re: How often do you go to the theatre?

I go to Broadway every 3 months or so and I go to local theatre productions a few times a year

Re: How often do you go to the theatre?

im not a fan of shows. i will go to the best broadway show and walk out hating it or falling asleep. i havent liked one show. well, i did like naked boy singing, but that was it!

i guess its not my cup of tea but its a nice experience for those that do like it!

Re: How often do you go to the theatre?

We go to broadway shows about 3x per year, sometimes more. I would like to get into some more local theater.

Re: How often do you go to the theatre?

I haven't seen a Broadway show in a long time. I think the last show I saw was Rent or The Lion King.

Re: How often do you go to the theatre?

I love Broadway shows, but DH hates them so I don't go often. He took me to see Avenue Q though for my birthday this year. When I was younger, I always saw a show for my birthday and usually saw a few others each year.

DH prefers plays. He's more willing to see musicals if they're at a smaller venue such as the Goodsped opera house (in CT). If he has to see a musical, he prefers Cole Porter and other composers from the early 1900s.

Re: How often do you go to the theatre?

I believe the last show I saw was The Tap Dance Kid in 1986 for my friend's 18th birthday!! I think Alfonso Ribero was in it!

Re: How often do you go to the theatre?

we always say what a shame it is that we live in the city and only go once every few yrs. i prefer off broadway but rarely do that either. last thing i saw was the producers back in feb.
