Theatre, will it ever go out of date? email this discussion to a friend?

I used to go to the theatre regularly, whether it was a comedy or musical, whatever, I really enjoyed it every time. And somehow I just neglected it for a while, I don't really know the reason why, the theatre and me became strangers. Until two days ago when I rediscovered my love for the theatre. I was out with a friend of mine and there was a play "Elling", Norwegian author; wonderful actours, great audience, two and half hours seemed like two and half minutes.
I just can't wait to go again. happy

Do you like theatres or not?
When was the last time you watched a play and what was it?

I went to the theater for the first time at the beginning of February to see Avenue Q. A very raunchy comedy/musical. It was HILARIOUS!

There have always been things I wanted to see like...Rent, Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables, etc, just never thought it would be worth seeing any place other than Broadway. I was wrong. Now I am watching the Hershey Theater list to see what else is coming up that I can force my husband to go to.

You're right, Broadway is the theatre, but theatre is not just Broadway, it's the play, actours, audience, and so much more that makes a theatre a wonderful place. I am glad you enjoyed your first time to the theatre. thumbup
And it's always good to see you. happy

I love going to shows, but I can't afford to go and I don't care to go by myself so I don't get to go any more.

I agree, it's not much fun to go alone anywhere.

Hi Nat,

I don't go to the theatre that often, only if someone recommends a play or on the spur of the moment when I fancy a change from the norm.

I haven't been this year yet, but last year I did go to see a one woman show by some Scottish actress. I can't remember the name of the play nor her, but it was very good. Cheap, but good! I have my eye on a play by Chekhov called The Cherry Orchard, which is doing the rounds right now. I wondered what happened to him after he left Star Trek, and now I know.

Have you seen The Cherry Orchard? If you recommend seeing it, I will definitely go.


myLot reputation of 97/100. Natrak (1487)   ranked 124 out of 38,533 in life  10 months ago

Hi Scoop, I didn't see that Chekhov play so I can't recommend it to you, but I remember seeing Three Sisters, a dance comedy variation of Chekhov play and it was brilliant. So if you like Chekhov's work I don't think you will be disappointed.


myLot reputation of 98/100. Scoop_Dogg (1934)   ranked 307 out of 38,533 in life  10 months ago

I see you decided to ignore my poor joke. Just as well I guess. haha

I haven't seen the Three Sisters in theatre either, but I HAVE watched The Cherry Orchard on tv. I like learning about other cultures and Russia is definitely a fascination for me. I plan to visit the place in the next few years as I haven't been yet. thumbup

Ha ha, sorry, I guess I was too sleepy last night, or something else is happening to me that I'm not aware of, hm hm, now you got me wondering. confused

It's my dream to visit St Petersburg some day, maybe we shall meet and discuss Chekhov on neutral ground. lollol


myLot reputation of 98/100. Scoop_Dogg (1934)   ranked 307 out of 38,533 in life  10 months ago

Or possibly the benefits of having Ana in the game of tennis? wink

I have been looking at a cruise of Scandinavian countries which also includes a visit to St. Petersburg, so at sometime I will be there. It looks a great city, full of fabulous architecture and so much history attached.

I love theatre but unfortunately in the place I work with, there's no theatre opportunities.


myLot reputation of 97/100. Natrak (1487)   ranked 124 out of 38,533 in life  10 months ago

How unfortunate for you, I hope some day you will have the privilege of having a theatre in the place you work.

Gosh I haven't been to the theatre in decades, but growing up as a girl it was a family event...not just plays but going to ballet and opera as well. There's nothing that beats that "live" performance and excitement that's present in theatre performances.
Like I said haven't been to the theatre in decades...way too expensive now

Ahh. I really do hope the theatre never goes out of style. Especially since I'm a theatre major currently! Typically the theatre draws in a much older crowd--and I certainly hope that crowd never goes away. And I also think it depends on the style of the play/musical. If it's a disney production it's obviously going to bring in a family audience.

No they're not going out of date, because new plays are coming up, more people coming in to watch the new plays, hence it won't go out of date. As long as the plays keep up with people's interests, they won't go out of date.
