Guest Posted January 12, 2014 Report Posted January 12, 2014 Other than things my daughter was in at school, the last thing we saw was Fiddler on the Roof, done by a local music theater company. It was good. Quote
Guest Posted January 12, 2014 Report Posted January 12, 2014 Oh, actually I went to our high school's production of Grease last year to support a kid I've known since he was 5. I hate that show so I probably don't have any fair critique, except it was weird to see my "little" friend shaking his hips in leather pants and stage-making-out. Quote
Wingnut Posted January 12, 2014 Author Report Posted January 12, 2014 I guess a College Football game doesn't count ? Lol!!!Start a thread about the "last sporting event" people attended... Oklahoma! two months agoSo jealous! By the time I was three years old, I could go word for word on the classic movie, and still can. Unfortunately, that also means that no stage production will ever live up to expectation for me, but it's still my all-time favorite. Quote
Wingnut Posted January 12, 2014 Author Report Posted January 12, 2014 I had the idea to start this thread because I went to see Chicago last Thursday evening. While the show certainly isn't for everyone, I thoroughly enjoyed it, and would definitely see it again.Perhaps the best part about it was seeing a show that is set in the 20's, has strong elements of vaudeville and burlesque, and to see it in a theatre that first opened in 1922 and at one time played host to two-a-day vaudeville shows. The theatre still has a classic 20's feel and look to it -- very dated opulence, and it fit well with what we were watching. (If you're curious, do a Google image service for Cleveland Palace Theatre.)Oh, and John O'Hurley was cast as Billy Flynn, and was completely brilliant. Quote
pam Posted January 12, 2014 Report Posted January 12, 2014 I love John O'Hurley. I've been a fan of his since his Young and the Restless days. Quote
lizrenowden Posted January 12, 2014 Report Posted January 12, 2014 I saw Cinderella last week - one of the ugly sisters was played by an actor who played a death eater in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Quote

Wingnut Posted January 14, 2014 Author Report Posted January 14, 2014 Does the live endowment session at the Salt Lake Temple count?Nope! :) But it's certainly something I'd like to experience. Quote

NeuroTypical Posted January 14, 2014 Report Posted January 14, 2014 My Ward Christmas social featured, for the first time in LDS history outside of a sacrament meeting, a bunch of members playing instruments and singing and doing it very well.You heard that right - it was a 'talent show' type environment, and there was actually some adult talent being shown!
