Living off Times Square... I was wondering if you have a favorite Opera, Play, Broadway Show... What is it and what city? ok.... mine starts with: Broadway/Westend... Jesus Christ Superstar-London Aida-New York Les Miserables-New York although it's closing down in 2nd week of May =( La Boheme-at The NY Metropolitan Opera House
ooh.... I'd have to check that out when I'm in London I have to add: Cirque du Soleil La Nouba in Orlando <O> in Las Vegas Varekai! on tour
Rent is my favorite Broadway play. I liked Evita - the movie version, but never saw the musical live.
the off-off brodway play my sister was in recently -and will do again in October in NY samuel's Beckett, come and go ... my sister is the one with the greek name you can check out her profile or see her on stage pictures ohh I'm so proud of her apart from this, my most fave theatrical play *Salome by oscar Whylde *The maids jean Genet *Replay andrew Vachss
Opera, well I didnt really like opera until I worked at the opera company! And so I got to see Carmen for free, and I really like it! The music is lovely, and I read the book in french class! My favorite ballet that I've ever seen was Romeo and Juliet Musicals...I used to watch a lot of musicals when I was little! The theater ones, I mean. I saw TOMMY in New York City (by Pete Townsend, but without the WHO of course!) I like Les Miserables, I liked the Phantom of the Opera too. Well, there are a lot I like! Theater...well I LOVE plays. I saw some Shakespeare ones on a school trip once. I saw this other one though by Tom Stoppard, I think it was called The Real Thing (?) Oh and I saw "This is Our Youth" in London with Kiernan Culkin, Colin Hanks and Alison Lohman. There are a lot of plays that I've READ that have been really good, I wish I could have seen them!
My favorite musical that I've seen on stage/broadway is Les Miserables. Absolutely beautiful. I mean, I've only been listening to the cast recording. But to finally see it on stage. Whoa. And Into the Woods. Bernadette Peters!! I want to see The Producers. I NEED to see Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane perform. Sigh.
Phantom of the Opera-I love this so much- it is a bit of a hobby. I collect Phantom items-the playbills, books, etc. I had the musicians at my wedding play many songs from it before the ceremony-"Music of The Night" is my favorite.
I saw "Ragtime" in Broadway ..got very excited ... "Rent" I liked a lot ... In here ... I saw a really nice production of "Carmen" a couple of months ago in Nat'l Theater ... I check out the Bolshoi Ballet & Kiev Ballet every single time they come ... Right now the "Festival de Coreografos" is on ... loads of performances!!!
I don't know if this counts but I adored Equus and Communion they were both at a little theater in dublin, I can't remember the name of it
Les Miserables is my favourite musical and my favourite opera is currently A Masked Ball. Although I have never actually seen it performed, I think I would love the ballet Giselle. Oh, and even though I didn't like the movie, I really enjoyed reading Amadeus.
Favorite Opera = La Traviata in San Francisco Favorite Musical = Rent in Phoenix Favorite Play = Freida! in Mexico City Would love to see many more in different cities . . . soon, I hope!
How did I never notice this before? Yah anyways, don't really play favourites with theatre etc. but I love : Playboy of the Western World - J.M Synge Pygmalion - George Bernard Shaw The Importance of being Earnest - Oscar Wilde The Plough and the Stars Sean O'Casey Porgy and Bess - Gershwin Chicago (pre-film anyways) Les Miserables Miss Saigon Cats
My favourite play, opera and musical respectively: Lady Windemere's Fan - Oscar Wilde Manon Lescaut at La Scala - I'm too young to have been to La Scala but I have the recording... Don't like broadway
I want to go see a broadway show when I go to NYC in fall. What would you guys suggest to see in Decmeber 2004 or Jan 2005?
