Show opened last night to some great reviews. Cross your fingers that we get more of the same for the next five performances. Two this weekend, and three next weekend - should wind everything up.

Then I'm off to help with a production of Barnum. But that's tech and during the final tech week. And working tech on a show can be stressful, but not like being ON the stage.

Woot.

There are a host of sites that offer discounts (see Google.com)---then there's same day tickets you can purchase in the city as well.

Options.

Cheers for Queers!

Congratulations - hope the rest of the run goes as well!!!

Not Broadway...
 

...but, worth going, well, if you're a fan of dance. And, I am.

This company is in residence and performing at NYC's Joyce Theatre every year [this year, 7.12.10 - 8.7.10]. GO! You won't be disappointed. It is a visceral experience that you won't forget.

Darth, thanks! It did!! I've been a busy gal with a name change on the Boards here (from Sybelle to Scota). Plus, I've managed to finish up that show, do tech work on Barnum for the Light Opera Guild group here. And after auditioning, landed a role as a Tribe member in their upcoming production of "Hair". It's been busy mad, but having plenty of fun as well as learning a lot in the process about productions. The highlight though was during the run of Barnum, got a call from another friend and was able to go help with costume changes for a well known vocalist group during a local performance.

It was an experience .. to say the least. :)

And that is a wrap. Closed up Sunday night. We performed the "revival" version of "Hair". In turn it became so, so many things to me - musically and spiritually. It will take a while to sit back and process.

After a busy year with this and other shows - taking some time off to relax and sort out everything. Singing at a wedding and working on a student film are the only upcoming local projects going on for me, for a while.

Silence tells me secretly... everything.

Another option -- TDF.org. Students can join for $30/year, and then you can buy tix to all sorts of shows (including some Broadway ones!!) for very, very low prices. My daughter, who is a TDF member, got tickets to see "Hair" for $38, and was about ten rows back in the orchestra section.

Toss me in the Broadway fan bucket!

When driving on a roadtrip alone, I like to sing songs from the old 60s Rogers and Hammerstein movies. No worries ... if you were to ever find yourself a passenger in my truck, I would not expect you to suffer through my singing. No one should ever have to tolerate or be exposed to the unacceptable! *chuckles to self*

Went to the theater this evening to see A Midsummer Night's Dream.

It was excellent...great acting!

:hamactor:

I saw "Book of Mormon" over the weekend. It was irreverent, completely un-PC, and downright crude... and probably one of the best shows I've ever seen on Broadway!! Absolutely deserving of the 14 Tony nominations it got!

*Gasp*... did not know this thread was here!

I have been President of the Board of Trustee's of Diversionary Theatre here in San Diego. It's the 3rd oldest LGBT theatre in the nation!! We are very proud of what we do... from commissioning plays (Dear Harvey, The Daddy Machine, and a new one in the works), to Queer Theatre, Dance Theatre, and many more artistic endeavors!

I love theatre... cannot breath without it! We will be heading back to NYC to see a few things... Book of Mormon is one... Priscilla is another... Glad to know Book of Mormon was great... Can't wait to see it!

I adore broadway but must admit I am still heartbroken over Cats.....one of my new favorites is Wicked. It was delightful

Wow didn't know we have a Broadway thread! Me and Blaze go to the Theater a lot . Houston has many performances that come through here all year long. We recently saw La Cage Aux Folles..which was absolutely fabulous!!!!!!! OMG! with George Hamilton.
Today we went to see Carrie Fisher's one women show "Wishful Drinking" very funny! She is sooo clever.

What have you seen latey?

Hey StillettoDoll!

I haven't seen a Broadway show in a while :( will have to check to see what the new season here brings as it's almost that time. I have read Carrie Fisher's book "Wishful Drinking" and seen excerpts of it - very clever indeed! As a hardcore Star Wars nut whose first ever crush was Princess Leia Carrie Fisher will always hold a special place in my heart!!!

I live in London so see many shows in London's West-End.

However, also love going to Broadway. Ironically, my memories of watching the classic big name shows is always London-based (Les Miserables, Phantom etc) whereas the Broadway productions I've picked have often been a beat more, um, off-beat.

I went to see AvenueQ in Broadway back in 2005 when I was in NYC for a long weekend to celebrate my 30th birthday. Back then, it was still relatively unknown and I wasn't overly enthusiastic to attend ... it was a truly fantastic experience and went to see it again (also in Broadway) the next year !!

I just recently saw "VENUS IN FUR" on Broadway...I really loved it. I found it darkly sexy, yet intelligent and humorous, as well.

Also saw Elton John's musical, "Lestat", several years ago.
This for me, was a disappointment. The characters were stiff and two-demensional...a little too "period peice". :hamactor:
