Cool..when did this thread happen!
This should be good.HEY..am I allowed boast that I am going to see Ralph Fiennes in 'The Faith Healer' at Dublin's Gate Theatre in here.
:-)

The thread happened when you posted at 1.17pm. The forum happened about 10 minutes ago. :) ;)

And no, you're not allowed to boast.

No, you can't boast here. ;)

Dol asked, Haydon obliged. Howsabout that then? Cheers H. :thumbsup:

Would you mind moving my Wiz thread, please?

OK..just ignore what I said so.That is..the bit about going to see Ralph Fiennes.Just forget I ever mentioned anything about going to see Ralph Fiennes.
(that's Ralph..with an 'R')
:yahoo:

I am going to love this thread. So what sort of thing do you like to see at the theatre? I love musicals first and then plays. My faves have to be

Scrooge (with Tommy Steele)
Rocky Horror (yes I have dressed up)
Beauty and the Beast
Oh theres just too many to mention really.

The last play I saw was The Picture of Dorien Grey with Robert Powell.

OH I LOVE Dorian Grey.Great Great tale!
The last play I saw was 'Lady Windermere's Fan', just after Christmas.
Really enjoyed it.
Before that I saw a production of 'Salome', which was great too.There was nobody famous in either production....but I don't mind that.
:-)

Last professional thing I saw was Tell Me on a Sunday with Denise Get 'em Outen. She wasn't bad, but didn't like the show much.

Before that I saw Abigail's Party (loved loved loved the TV play), which was quite good.

Of course, I get to see amateur shows, like Jesus Christ Superstar (professional once, amateur 4 times including one I was in myself!), Sweet Charity, Guys and Dolls, coz my mates are in them. :thumbsup:

Best I ever saw was 'The Phantom of the Opera' when it came to the Point in Dublin...came up with my sisters and we stayed overnight in a hotel and all.I LOVE the Phantom, and I could'nt believe I got to see it.It was a fabulous version of it.
Red velvet...gilt .....candles.I have never seen anything like it.It was just soooo atmospheric.
And the spooky eye bit on top of the curtains...woooo.
:ghost:
Really left an impression on me.

I absolutely HATED Phantom. One of the worst evenings I've ever had to spend money for. I still haven't seen Chicago live (although I've seen the film a gazillion times, approximately). The Lion King was fantastic.

Les Mis is my absolute fave of anything, anywhere so far.

The Phantom of the Opera and Miss Siagon were both brilliant. One of the funniest I have seen though was Naked Flame.....yes it was a play about firemen who were often naked on the stage but the funniest thing was the 3 old men behind us in a packed theatre full of women compaining they had booked for the wrong show. :D

I have only seen one musical and that is "Cats".
I went with my mum, dad, gran, papa, aunts, uncles, cousins etc when I was little.
My cousin and I were a little bored and didn't see the fun in watching people dressed as cats dancing around a stage but during the interval we went up on stage and got some of them to sign our programs.

When "Cats" came back to Glasgow last year, I got Miss PJ a ticket for her bday cos she said she'd always likr to see it. I obviously had to get one for myself. I definately appreciated more the 2nd time round since I actually understood what it was all about. The people dressed as cats were very bendy indeed. Perhaps Buzz should try out for auditions after she's had a few drinks?

Sorry, just realised this is not true at all...
When I did Higher Music in high school we had to go and see "Joseph and his Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat" and "Jesus Christ Superstar" both of which were very good.
