ourmaninthenorth – it fascinates me too, which is why I continue to try. I just don't get it. I go in, I sit down and within 20 minutes I'm bored senseless, I just can't seem to engage with it and I have no idea why.
That is interesting. For me, Ilike the discipline of having to suspend disbelief and then, pop, it's happened and I'm immersed in the story and what te play is about.
If it's a musical, however, I try to work out if it's possible to sleep through the godawful row and will Mrs North realise all I'm watching are the boobs of the leading lady.
I've tried The Producers, something else (a proper play, can't remember the title) and now this. I will continue to try as I really want to enjoy it!
Trouble is, you've seen two musicals. Muscials are, to my mind, the lowest form of staged entertainment. I'd rather be in a Bangkok go-go bar being showered with ping pong balls. Actiually…. Seriously, look for a play that you think you'd enjoy, and give it another try. One day you'll see something, and it will click. Also, go somewhere where there are decent productions with decent actors. Makes all the difference (I live in Manchester, so primarily go to the Royal exchange, which is a theatre in the round (stage is in the middle of the audience) and is therefore very engaging.
i am facinanted by this also, also i'd like your opinion on male grooming products and favorite Judy Garland films.
Reminds me of a mate from Middlesborough. "Theatre? That's gay" "Poetry? That's gay" "Paintings? Gay" "Books? Gay". Cultureless c**t.
