Now I get to do this to myself........ :D

I'm sure there was a thread for this before........ and I'm sure it was me who started it :confused:


Anyway, until it turns up (or cgk finds it for me ;) ).....


I went to see 'Much Ado About Nothing' thanks to SHsheff for organising us a forum meet :thumbsup: , and saw this bunch (http://www.alvinailey.org/) at the Alhambra in Bradford last Friday.

I could get into this theatre going lark :)

My Hubby went to see 'Round the Horn' last Saturday...alas I didn't make it as someone needed to look after the children!

Maybe next time though! It will be my turn then...:hihi:

the last thing i saw was a monstrous Q for tickets.

Last thing we saw was Blood Brothers for the third time. I think I can feel an obsession coming on.....brilliant show!!

I see shows all the time because my boyfriend is a musical director and I go to "watch him work"... Last thing I saw was a youth production of Return To The Forbidden Planet in Bradford, one before that was a similar sort of thing, Summer Holiday in London... I go to see everything that Worksop and Dinnigton operatic do (at least twice) and also Sheffield Teachers operatic cos thats who he works for!

Teachers are doing Witches of Eastwick and it sounds fantastic - at the Lyceum in November!

Making a Stand at the Merlin Theatre
My daughter was in it
Time before that was a Jacqueline Wilson one ,went with my daughter as a treat for her doing well at school:D

I think it was 'Death of a salesman' but the one I remember was a christmas panto and I was in a bad mood. The 'funny' guy on stage was trying to get a bit of audience participation and was picking on people and saying they looked grouchy and telling them to laugh in his panto manner. Unfortunately he picked on the wrong person and realised it rapidly when in a fairly loud voice I told him to 'sod off'
As I said I was in a bad mood

vagina monologues.........wow that was ages ago, went when I was pregnant with my little girl that was over two years ago!!!!

I think we need to book some thing sharpish!!

Either 'Much Ado about Nothing', open air, in Botanical Gardens in July. Very pleasant! or 'Lear' in the Crucible - can't quite remember when that was.

Off to the Globe in London this wkend, to see A Winter's Tale - so that should be fab!

Not a play but still.....
I saw Kate Rusby at Boxton Oera House last night
FAB!!!!!
:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

The Duchess of Malfi - Lycaeum
The Tempest - leeds playhouse (With Sir Ian McKellern!)

Last night (25th sep 05) went to see Michael Palin at the Lyceum do his "From Lodge Moor to Everest" talk.
Very entertaining.

I wanted to go see that too.... but we already had the tickets to Kate Rusby.... why did it have to be the same night :(

I was part of the shakespeare forum event "thingie", last wednesday.

I love going to the theatre.

Before that i went to see round the horne revisited, the friday before last. (that was just fantastic)

i want to see the "rat pack" show, coming up soon, at the lyceum, and the bacharach and david show "promises, promises".

Myself and a former workmate are having our usual "event" of going to see "joseph", in December. (which, it seems might turn into a mass trip with most of the folk i worked with going along.

PT

Is there anything worth seeing at the moment?

Anybody been to see anything recently?

There is a Harold Pinter Season coming up at Sheffield Theatres soon which Im looking forward to. If you can look past Nigel Harman and his big face advertising the The Caretaker, it looks like it should be good!

An ex-boss of mine does amateur dramatics. A couple of years ago i went to see Cabaret up at a studio near the Hallamshire hospital. Absolutely fantastic and good acting

Nigel Harman and his big face advertising the The Caretaker

I saw Nigel Harman in Guys & Dolls in London, and he was fabulous. Have never really been a fan of his, but it certainly made me see him in a new light!

Saw 'The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists' many years ago at the Library Theatre. That was in the days when we all had the socialist dream, nowadays I am a lot more cynical.
Damn good play though.

Importance of being Earnest for the zillionth time at the Botanical Gardens in July I think.

Educating Rita at the Lyric Theater in Belfast in June.

Cant remember the name of it! It was related to the war... really comical play... I used it for my A level English Literature exam :D

I love the theatre!

Reduced Shakespeare Company doing Hollywood at the Lyceum

Recently I've seen "sweet charity" at the crucible, "hello dolly" in worksop and "full monty - the musical" in Rotheram. Will be seeing "west side story" at the Beck in middlesex in a couple of weeks...

Desperate to see "wicked" when that opens in the west end in september, would also like to see "evita"....i wish i was in musicals:)

I've seen a lot of stuff this year including Saturday night fever, which i took my son to and he loved it.

Last thing i saw was Dirty Dusting, which was funny.

And have tickets for the Caretaker and something else with the West's in it in October, and Fiddler on the roof in Dec.

Will have to see what the Uni drama studio has to offer this year. Hope there is some good stuff.

beauty & the beast, prior to that saturday night fever.

The Vagina Monologues

I cant remember the last time I went to the theater because it was so long ago. I dont think ill be going for a while either because all we have here is an old railway carriage that doubles for a cinema and a theater, it only holds about 40 people.

Disney's Beauty and the Beast at Lyceum about a fortnight ago...

Meh, it was OK, bit slow in teh first half, second half was more interesting IMO, and as for the actress who played Belle, some of the barmaids in our local are better looking... Not that she was ugly, she was nice... I dunno maybe we were too far away from the stage to see her enough to appreciate her beauty :(

Overall, decent but not something I'd pay £53 for 2 tickets to see again.

Might go and see Joseph and his Dreamcoat again in November though, haven't been for a couple of years even though admittedly I've seen it loads.

I've never been the theatre, how sad is that

Try it, you might enjoy it!!! :-)

The last thing i saw was at the National Theatre in London, a show called 'Burn' about youth culture... It was brilliant, very moving.

There is a Harold Pinter Season coming up at Sheffield Theatres soon which Im looking forward to. If you can look past Nigel Harman and his big face advertising the The Caretaker, it looks like it should be good!

I'm off to see this on Friday, hope it's good.

I'm going tonight to see The Caretaker

*crosses fingers* I hope it's as good as the writeups.

going to see "The 'Rat Pack', Live From Las Vegas", at the end of the month.

Really looking forward to that.

Was it good?

See here (http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=151136) for a review of last nights "performance"

16 years ago, I need to go more often. Last saw Sarafina on Broadway, New York. Brilliant play and the dancing / singing was out of this world and next level. Even saw Richard Gere in the vip section. Quality.
Not seen any plays locally or in London. would like to but i do not think many would interest me.

On Tuesday I went to see the Cholmondeleys and Featherstonehaughs (Chumleys and Fanshaws), one of the very best contemporary dance companies in Britain. They're not po-faced or precious like some performance groups. They're accessible and exciting and original. They were absolutely amazing, with loads of character and fun and cheekiness. But no-one else I've met since has heard of them, so I can't rave about it. (Apart from just now, of course.) :(

Oh, I've seem them Purdyamos, but it was a few years ago! Can't say I'm a big fan of modern dance though... it's all a bit beyond me. It was very entertaining though!

I took my 9 year old brother to see 'danny the champion of the world ' at the lyceum a few weeks ago.

The week before that I saw 'Avenue Q' in london it was fab I would recommend to anyone.:thumbsup:

Last thing i saw was either Phantom of the Opera a couple of years ago in London or footloose.

Need to find a woman so that i can go more often:roll:

I saw "West Side Story" in Middlesex in August, "Chicago" in the West End in August, "Legless" in Rotherham on Friday night - going to see "High Society" in Dinnington next Sat and most exciting-ly "Wicked" in the West End a week on Wednesday!!!

Went to see The Caretaker on Friday and am goin to see A Number this Friday coming up.

Ages since I went to the cinema, last one was one with Jim Carey in but can't for the life of me think what it was called
