Let's see if there is much interest in this. If anyone would like to see this here pop a reply up.

For all things Musical, new/old/fave etc....

BTW anybody get the real reason that Miss Saigon was cancelled last Saturday, told it was for technical reasons. I haven't been offered a replacement ticket, only my money back...

definately! i pm'd cloud about it coz i wasnt sure how to go about it. we could tie it up with theatre as well maybe?
but i'd post on it anyways!

thedrowner · 29-08-2002 11:06am

i dont know why it was cancelled. my friend's playing in the orchestra though and he said one night one of the cast members got sick onstage, and they had to close the curtains and clean up and get back to it...how awful!

saw miss saigon last week, i wasnt as impressed with the music as i though i'd be, but...thats another discussion...

Good idea drowner, Theatre could cover Musical\Plays etc...

Thumbs up for a theatre board that would be fantastic. Musicals irritate the feck out of me but they have their place I suppose.

I love it. i love plays and musicals. hopefully heading to miss saigon in september.

I went to the graduate in new york a few weeks ago. Kathleen Turner, Alicia Silverstone and Josh Radnor were in. they were all hilarious (especially radnor).

Great play, probably the funniest i've ever seen.

Love theatre, I try and go once a month but dont always manage it...

Theatre would be a good one I reckon...

By the way, if you get a chance check out Da in the Abbey (if it isnt already gone). I went to see it with my dad and the two of us fell around the place laughing at it.
Its quite an insightful play.

can me and the celtic tiger be moderators? please please please?????? *lol* i just want to have somethig beside my name other than stars and garfield

last thing i went to see was pride and prejudice in the gate...twas good, its gotten great reviews, and theyve made the father character very humorous

whats da about, devore? without givnig anything away...

DeVore · 29-08-2002 3:31pm

Its about a guy who returns to the family home from London to bury his father and the memories it brings back as he picks up the loose ends of the life he left behind there and he confronts his conflicted feelings about his da.

Its quite funny at times and serious at others but very enjoyable and the script is razor sharp.

bastard - i was trying to get tickets for it - what did they cost ya?

the celtic tiger · 29-08-2002 4:42pm

i bought them as a present for my family. 4 of us went and it cos t me $207.

well worth it though. i didn't get them at tkts, i got them at the ticket sale place on time square the day before. they were up in the rear mezzanine, but still had a perfect view.

Kurdt · 29-08-2002 11:07pm

as a former person of the stage i would love it if there were a place to discuss musicals etc...

Thanx 4 The Fish · 06-09-2002 3:07pm

Have we got enough for a quorum here. If not, is prob best to close the thread. If yes, Theatre would probably be a better name than Musicals, would encompass a greater range.

Thanks,

How about "Arts"?

Sounds like a good idea that. Would leave it open to all aspects of "The Arts" too, would probably widen the base of interest aswell.

Dustaz · 06-09-2002 4:03pm

It seems theres a chance to do a bit of organisation here.

How about having Arts or Arts/Culture as a Main Menu. With Films, TV, Art/Anim, Music and all its forums, Literature and the theatre forum.

After hours would still have a fair few forums in it and Irish Pubs could be moved to it (its spiritual home imo

)

Thanx 4 The Fish · 06-09-2002 4:06pm

I'll buy that for a dollar.

Bard · 19-09-2002 12:17pm

I agree with Dustaz and offer my services as Theatre board mod.

I've quite a strong interest (and experience... and connections) in the world of theatre/drama.

Cloud · 19-09-2002 12:34pm

Theatre created - I'll have a look at the reclassification in a bit.

dahamsta · 19-09-2002 12:37pm

How about "Arts"?

How about "Arse"?

I actually saw Miss Saigon in London and it rocked, as did Five Guys Named Moe; but musicals are still for wussies...
