I also go to see plays with the wife when the mood takes us.

I have gotta say I sing along to Jesus Christ Superstar as well.

I saw avenue Q on it's last tour on broadway in 2009, and Young Frankenstein back in 2008. I really wish I would have gone to something more mature, like Les Miserables, but it didn't cross my mind. When in rome, do as the romans do!



Avenue Q is mature... in one sense of the term or another. XD it's a favorite of mine, I wish I could see it live. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493977/5065882.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493977/5065882.page GMT The Theater http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493977/5066047.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493977/5066047.page GMT The Theater
I am going to see Princess Mononoke next year, which is a play rather than a popular musical. The tickets were only about £40 for three, but they sold out quickly as it is a limited production.

I do see a fair few plays, we have Hull Truck Theater group not to far from us, and they do some fantastic contemporary stuff.

I also enjoy some good classical music, again going to hull in a week and a bit to catch Handel's Messiah]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493977/5066083.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493977/5066083.page GMT The Theater http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493977/5066088.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493977/5066088.page GMT The Theater

Les Miserables in London, got dragged along by the girlfriend but actually loved it to the point that i am probably looking forward to the film more then her now.


That seems to be a fairly common interaction with Les Mis. it's about as manly and badass as you can get for a musical and with a good cast the emotional cords strike deep in anyone with a pulse and a fully functioning set of human emotions. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493977/5066162.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493977/5066162.page GMT The Theater http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493977/5066260.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493977/5066260.page GMT The Theater

Musicals are very expensive in London. The last one I saw was Matilda, which was excellent. The tickets were a present from my mother. Normally I would not be able to afford it.

Ours weren't that expensive; I think we paid around £25 each for Les Miserables, if memory serves. The seats were way up in the gods, mind you.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493977/5066662.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493977/5066662.page GMT The Theater http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493977/5066665.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493977/5066665.page GMT The Theater

Me too!

There should be some sort of support group for Boyfriends Who Weren't Expecting to Love Les Mis.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493977/5066666.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493977/5066666.page GMT The Theater http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493977/5066684.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493977/5066684.page GMT The Theater http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493977/5066692.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493977/5066692.page GMT The Theater
I've also enjoyed Avenue Q, The Phantom of the Opera, and Wicked (touring in Houston again in 2013).

I didn't care for Flower Drum Song or Camelot. i didn't get to see SpamALot when it was in town.

I hate Cats.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493977/5066693.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493977/5066693.page GMT The Theater

I also go down to Edinburgh or London sometimes.
Wicked was fantastic, as was Monkey.
Peer Gynt blew me away.

I also saw PotO and loved it.
I quite fancy Les Mis, but I've not managed to fit it in yet.

Whenever I can I take in a Shakespere play too.
A Midsummers night Dream is a particular favorite.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493977/5067422.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493977/5067422.page GMT The Theater
In the past:
Phantom of the Opera
Cats
Chicago
We have seen quite a few plays at the local community theater when some friends were involved in that but we have fallen off a bit on that front as well.
And yes, stand up comedy is awesome.
