Posted November 11, 2007 Recently i saw Waiting for Godot and really enjoyed it and although on the surface it's semmingly nothing, you can sense that there is a deeper meaning to the play then what is shown which i'm learning about at A level as well as interpreting the play for myself. A Musical i have seen and enjoyed was Les Miserables, it was a stirring Musical as it was based on a true story and i really loved all the different songs in it. They were powerful and Moving! A play i didn't like, was Macbeth in the Globe Theatre because it was done in morden dress which i didn't particularly enjoy seeing, as i didn't get the feeling i was watching Macbeth but a bunch of drunk buisness men wearing party hats... What Plays or Musicals have you seen at the theatre? did you enjoy them? What is your favourite? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 11, 2007 Under Milk Wood by Dylan Thomas, a lyrically stunning play. If I'm honest though I can't really say I enjoy watching plays all that much. Measure for Measure is definitely my favorite Shakespeare play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 11, 2007 I've been to see Joseph twice now, one time was with the original cast minus Donovan (Philip Scofield instead) in Edinburgh. Second time was in Glasgow. Went to see Jesus Christ Superstar a few years back and in the Summer we went down to London to see The Sound of Music which was amazing. Really want to go and see more, I love them. Want to see The Phantom of the Opera sometime as I've heard it's great and its by ALW. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 11, 2007 Saw Henry V at the library theater a few weeks ago, has to be my favourite live play I've seen. Seen quite a lot, mostly Shakespeare though. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead and Waiting For Godot were also really funny on stage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 11, 2007 Last play I saw was 12th Night starring Mathew Kelly (!), of all people. Twas good. I like Shakespeare. Last musical..can't remember! Probably Mama Mia, and that was like 3 years ago. I liked Cats, until my sister literally either had the soundtrack or DVD on all day for about a year.

Posted November 12, 2007 Portuguese musicals and, well, most musicals are the scorn of God. But I haven't seen a lot, so I can't say, as a whole they suck, but I presumo that most of them do. I hate it when they don't act natural. Ugh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 12, 2007 Saw Tarzan on Broadway. We were going to see Lion King, but there weren't any seats left. Tarzan was still pretty badass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 12, 2007 I went with the school to see Blood Brothers at the Hippodrome 3 years ago. For our Drama GCSE. I didn't have much hope for it, as it was a musical, but it was fucking amazing. And the trip there was good too... "You see that, Stee? Villa Park. You see it? That's what you call a football stadium!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 12, 2007 Musical-wise I'd seen Wicked and The King and I. Both were amazing, going down next year with my mother to watch two more. Hairspray and something else I believe. Possibly Mama Mia or Phantom. Play-wise I've not seen much. Got 'into' theatre about a year ago, and was down in Edinburgh for a Youth Theatre festival where I saw some excellent plays! I was also in Edinbrugh this weekend, where I saw The Pearlfish at the Traverse - it was also fantastic! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 12, 2007 I have been almost every year for the last 10 or so to the christmas pantomime, they are always good =] I haven't been to see many plays or musicals, but I would say Journey's End was a pretty good play, quite funny at some points to.

Posted November 12, 2007 Plays and musicals rock! I absolutely Love Joseph. I know like all the words! Pantomimes are always a good laugh at christmas time too. Haven't been to a play in a while, going to one in a couple of weeks called "20,000 Leagues Under the Office". It's a comedy, so hopefully it'll be funny.

Posted November 12, 2007 Only saw Welsh play's when I did GCSE drama, and I missed out on seeing Blood Brother with GCSE English for some wild reason! I saw the Grease musical while it was on tour, but found the song's boring but enjoyed the dialogue and acting very much. I'd love to see Spamalot and Cats someday. Unsure about seeing Ben Elton's We Will Rock You tho... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 12, 2007 I've seen We Will Rock you and i found it quite enjoyable and it was a good entertaining evening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
