Opera
Carmen The Marriage of Figaro Stage Man Of La Mancha Sound of Music My Fair Lady Fiddler on the Roof Jesus Christ, Superstar ... but it was hard to stick to five. Loved Phantom, Hair and Chorus Line also. (Actually, the traveling show of Hair I saw in Atlanta was terrible, but loved it on Broadway and love the music.) |
On Broadway:
Camelot (in early 60's) Les Miserables Phantom Chorus Line Cats Mamma Mia Oops - 5+1! |
Saw the King and I with Yul Brynner at the Schubert Theater in Philly back in the seventies. Fell in love with Mr. Brynner! Shall we dance. West Side Story (50th anniversary this year) and The Lion King. I go to our local high school musicals also. The kids put on great performances every year.

EVERY SINGLE one you mentioned and ...
I always cry when I hear Sunrise, Sunset. Every single time. I love all musicals, even those not performed much anymore, Flower Drum Song, The Pajama Game.... All kinds; almost Opera like Phantom and HMS Pinafore and Madame Butterfly and galloping tromps like Carousel. I love every single one of them. And the dancing too. And the costumes... I am good with the lyrics too on trivia games. BUT...I can't sing well.:sigh: |

West Side Waltz (Katherine Hepburn '81: Her final stage performance.)
Sugar Babies (Mickey Rooney & Ann Miller '80 Boston theater.) Phantom (Boston theater) Annie Oakley (Ethel Merman, Boston theater) Boston Pops....(the best) |
Has anyone heard further about construction of a real theatre in or near TV where promoters could put on musicals or operas? I think I remember on another post that something is in the air. I hope this comes to fruition.

Annie - When I first moved to Chicago in the late 1970's I went to see Annie at the Shubert Theatre in the Loop wth a group of Loyola Univ. students -- we had really cheap seats up in the rafters. The kids in Annie looked like ants dancing on the stage -- that's how bad our seats were. |
Everybody loves Nutcracker of course, but...

Now that you mentioned it--well technically I mentioned it, but you brought it to mind-- I think that music is going to lull me to sleep tonight. Thanks, Red. |
Well, not everyone loves The Nutcracker. lol I do like The Fantastic Toy Shop better than TN. My favorite ballet is probably Firebird and I always enjoy seeing Billy the Kid. Giselle when danced right and a perfect orchestra can send shivers down my spine. Okay, better quit before I really get homesick!

I will miss the Cincinnati Ballet and the wonderful acoustics at Music Hall.
We have been so blessed in Cincinnati to have wonderful private funding for the arts. |
