Have you been to see any live theatre?

Have you seen a Broadway show live on Broadway? What shows have you seen? What kind of venues have you seen them at? Were they large productions? What city did you see it/them in? Do you prefer musicals or plays? When is the last time you saw a live theatre production? When is the next time you plan on seeing one? Have you ever acted or sang in a live theatre production? I absolutely adore going to see live theatre productions! I used to go on a regular basis before having kids, when I lived in Toronto, and I miss it so. While growing up in Toronto, I was in school choirs and orchestra, and in grade 2, I played a leading role in a play called "The Pink Siamese". The other night, I was talking to my lover about live theatre, and thought I'd look to see if anything of interest was coming to the "John Labatt Centre" here in town. Sure enough, Monday March 24, 2008, "Rent" is playing for a one night only performance. I asked him if he'd be interested in going, he said yes, and the next day I went downtown and got 2 tickets for us to see the show. Pretty decent seats I might add... 1st balcony, front row, centre stage. I am REALLY looking forward to the show, because it is a type of entertainment I haven't gone to in years, and really miss. I have seen all sorts of shows over the years. Some include "The King and I" (with Yul Brynner on his final tour before he died of cancer), "Grease" (Davy Jones of the Monkees starred in it, and I got his autographed photo from him... it was very cool!), "Jesus Christ Superstar" (with the original Jesus and Judas from the movie), "Les Miserables" (with Jean Valjean being played by Michael Burgess), "South Pacific" (at a dinner theatre in Washington, DC on a school trip), "Sugar Babies" (with Mickey Rooney and Anne Miller), and countless high school performances where I had lots of friends in the theatre program (off the top of my head, the only title I remember seeing is "The Trouble with Being Ernest"). What about you?
