BenG Pop-a-911-ster 37,985 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 (edited) So, no one's created a thread for theatre despite the forum description. Free free to discuss your favourite musicals/plays, book, score and actor/actress. Tell us what you've seen and what's on your wishlist, which composers you love, from Rodgers and Hammerstein to Pasek and Paul. Most plays bore me to death , so I'll list my top 5 musicals.

Timmers PronounsHe/Him/His Popster This Way 656 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 I was obsessed with Rent when it came out in theaters, so my aunt (r.i.p.) surprised me with tickets to see it live on stage. It was the most amazing thing I'd ever seen. Other than Rent, the only live shows I can remember seeing (not including school field trips) are Wicked and some Scooby Doo live show that my mom or aunt took me to shortly before the movie came out. I had tickets to see Dear Evan Hansen in Chicago this year, but... Spoiler As an adult, I think the Rent movie is kind of awful. Aside from live shows, I'm a big fan of movie versions of musicals. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoughts on ALW's latest work? The first song was fine, but the second song was stunning after 3 seconds so I turned it off and I'll wait to hear it on stage, haha. Lol to them thinking it'll open in April tho. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
