There's NOTHING I won't see....I LOVE theater. Given my choice of where to put my money, I don't tend towards musicals. I do enjoy them when I see them, just not my favorites.

I just saw Albee's new play (The Goat or Who is Sylvia) literally last night, and thought I was going to cry twice. Once because I was laughing so hard, and once because there was a moment so beautiful and awkwardly wrong that there was no other way to respond. The actors were given an incredible challenge, they had to keep up serious dramatic acting with a script that was going to make the audience howl with laughter...and they had to make us sympathize with the incomprehensible. But they did it, I was grateful just to have seen it. Oh, and the set was fantastic.

My favorite? I can't tell you. Like Ready4Ty, I saw Angels in America on stage, when it was first produced in London. I went back twice more. I've avoided the HBO version out of fear that it won't live up to my memories. I saw Ian McKellan do Uncle Vanya in a tiny theater. I saw Copenhagen in NY, then again after I moved to London less than a year later. That was a hell of a chance to compare.

Too many special experiences to pick one. It's like picking among your kids . I think I'll just assume I haven't seen my favoite yet.

Ready4Ty: if you're in Buffalo, do you get out to the Shaw festival in Niagra on the Lake often? It's just the other side of the border from you, and it's amazing....I miss it desperately.
