*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".

bumping this thread
I grew up in NYC and have in my collection a little over 200 playbills. That's one thing I miss since moving from my native land.

Soooo, just bumping this conversation so I can live vicariously through you all again
