For the ingredience of our cauldron.

Fair is foul, and foul is fair, we don’t think Mimi has actual hair. Anon, anon!
Why thank you.
I was going to say that I am doing a sonnet in a storm scene that is supposed to represent ‘The Great Tempest’. It’s really fun!
For our school play, My friends and I wrote this really fun, funny, and stupid/cheesy thing about these kids that found themselves magically transported to Antarctica. It was fust part of the whole play,(which was about the continents)but it was really fun!
As a fun fact, I’ll tell you that I was voted for the ‘lead role’s in both of the little plays I was in.
Cool plays, guys. I really wish I could take drama or theatre productions next year but I couldn’t fit it into my schedual. Plays are cool though. I’ve only ever been in my summer camps plays. Those are fun. Last year I was Antigone in Antigone.
i think musicals are more difficult to perform than regular plays.
last summer i was in a studio play called the insanity of mary girard . yeah, it was incredibly insane. so insane that we were only supposed to admit ppl age 13 + older, but some lady brought her youngish son to see it (i dont know why they let him in), and he started crying, which made me feel kinda bad…
the play is about a young woman (mary) who commits adultery; her husband finds this out, and orders her to be locked up in an asylum. then 6 evil spirits (“furies” – i was one of them!) begin to haunt her, and she literally does go insane. yeah. creepy. oh, but it was fun. we (furies) had to rat up our hair+ until it stood up like 5 inches off our heads, + then we had to put on a ton of white face stuff + eyeliner
if you google the name of the play, youll find a ton of pics of the characters. none are from our production, but theyre interesting to look at
I Love musicals. I downloaded like 5 or 6 sound tracks and know every word of each of them. I love musicals. I;ve never actually been in one before but I really wan’t to some day. I am in my middle school play though. I’ts called Theres no place like shiloh. It bothers me becase it’s relly cheezy but thats O.K. I think I will leave now and go off to my room and sing the rent songs, Yes that sounds good.
Well, every year my church does a wierd christmas padgent. For example, my pstor twisted harry potter around so it could be done as a chritsmas padgent. I was Harry. We even had the part where we went under an invisible cloak a.k.a. clear plastic tarp.
The next year I wasn’t in it.
Teh next year: Wizard of oz, and I was tinman,
Next year: Charly and the Chocolet factory. I was an added in part, but it wasn’t boiring. Anyways, that’s that.
I haven’t been in a play for Two Years! (Sob.)
The last play I was in was A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and I was Lysander because there wasn’t any boys for the part. It was fun, even though it was about two days before the spirit gum came off completely. ( I was wearing a beard.)
This year in my school’s fall production of Cyrano, I was a nun. I was Shaindel in Fiddler on the Roof. I helped with the show Pippin and last friday I played Zorka in Ducks and Lovers. I had huge eyebrows and a giant mustache to be Zorka.
13– I love musicals too! Which ones are your favorite?
I like The Music Man and South Pacific, and right now I’m memorizing some songs from Oaklahoma. *I’m just a girl who can’t say no/ I’m in a turable fix…* : )
i do musical theater. its really fun and really cool and you meet some AMAZING people. for example, today is the birthday of one of those amazing people. and she is obbsessed w/ shakspeare. coincidence? i wonder….

Cool about getting to be in a movie, peguin. Do you get any money for it?
My dad was in a TV special once called The Shepherd’s Wife or something. He was one of the Shepherd’s Wife’s sons.
You know, in retrospect, that really wasn’t a lot to memorize. I just never had that big a part before, and I’ve been involved, like, ten playsand scenes this year. I go to an artsy school for drama, but before this my drama teacher seems to have thought that I was only good at playing quirky, funky supporting characters, like a Japanese snow monkey foreign exchange student (Christmas play) or an eville angry Greek goddess (history of the theatre play. playing Hera is fun!).

Hey, that’s awesome, Penguin and Skipper! I’ve never been on TV or in movies or anything. Some of my friends got to be extras for the filming of the movie Elizabethtown though. They saw Orlando Bloom so they were really excited, lol. Unfortunately my school is so small there isn’t a drama program, so I’ve never gotten the chance to be in any productions. I ♥ the Pirates of Penzance! The songs are great fun to memorize and sing at random people.

Skipper Nancy, Tyana the Wolf and Guillaume the Yeti Horse says:
My friend and I have written a bunch of weird plays together, but we’ve never done any of them. Another friend did a really well written play of the little mermaid, but we never did that one either. I think I was either some screaming guy or the sea witch. By the way, it was modified quite a bit from the original version, which sucked. It had sort of a Christian spin on it, which I won’t go too much into except to say that she added a *ahem* fisherman. We wrote an odd LOTR spoof about Gimli baby-sitting the Gamgee’s children for a talent show, but its fate was similar to our earlier works. That’s a pity, because it’s actually pretty funny. I think.
OMG! I haven’t been on the blog for a loooooooong time! Whoa. Check out all the new peeps and the new threads….
Anyhow, back on subject:
I just did a GATE project having to do with putting on Hamlet (a fifteen-minute version) by Shakespeare for the whole class to see… Urk…
But we scraped by pretty well…. I was the director *applause*, so the whole thing was really crazy and energetic. Especially since no one could really read the Xyroxed copies…. I played Ophelia, your damsel-in-distress (my suicide-scene was soooo awesome)…
Yeah….
i just worked backstage on a production of sweet charity.
i have to say, if ur looking for experience in performing arts work backstage! u learn a lot!
this term i get to b a seven year old girl who murdered another child in a play called wolf lullaby. its a true story and a really creepy play but its an awesome role to do.
My friend was in a movie…when she auditioned, she pretended she was a boy (she was young, and had really short hair…) and didn’t tell them she was a girl until a few weeks after she got the part!
Also, Bobs Your Uncle, why do you have to correct everything ” the pink stalking penguin of penzance who is way cooler than youll EVER be ” says? Why don’t you let her just say what she wants and leave her alone?

47-I love the music man! As well as west side story and rent. Actually i’ve never seen rent, but the music’s cool. Pirates of penzance is AMAZING me loves ♥ ♥ Grease, same as rent, haven’t seen but some of the music’s great. Same with wicked, and, unfortunately, spamalot. (must…go…see…).
Yah. Erm. Mind. Blanked. Suddenly. Too much math hw probably.
hey i do plays!!! i’ve been in anything goes, beauty and the beast and fiddler on the roof and i’m doing music man this summer!!!
My favorite show OF ALL TIME is les miserables, but my current obsession is wicked.
we read macbeth in school and then we went to see it, and I HATED IT. Sorry if i offend any of u macbeth-lovers out there, but it’s really really dark and depressing.

craisin' raisin/Cara the Sara/yoyo power!!!! says:
I’m a big musical/theatre/acting fan. While typing this, I’m listening to Vol. 8 of Forbidden Broadway: SVU. My school has a acting program that is a bit… lacking. Next year, though, I’m going to a different school which is representing the USA in Ireland. So I’ll be doing a lot more theatre. acbeth is delicious, I love almost all of Shakespeare’s work. In response to 54, the book Wicked is amazing, as well of the musical. It focuses on politics and religion to draw depth to a shallow musical (WoO). Does anybody here like Rent? It is my /favorite/ musical. It is for a more “mature” audience, but if you can, see it.
I love Wicked’s music. Haven’t actually seen it because my parents won’t take me (GRRR) i have threatened to hitchhike to chicago or new york, but even then, with my minuscule allowance, i wouldn’t be able to afford a ticket. sigh.. i have seen Phantom of the Opera though. it was flamblamablous (did i spell that rite? oh well. u know what i mean)
Man, I want to see Wicked so much.. And it’s touring sort of near here, but “sort of” means a few hours away… E~A, after you see it, can you come on here and give us a minute-by-minute review of it? Please? ^_^
I’m seeing Hairspray next year. I was gonna see Drumstruck, but not enough people signed up for that, so decided to go with my friend who is seeing Hairspray (it’s for a skool trip).
I just saw The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.
It was reeeeeally good, though a bit innapropriate. I’m gonna download one of the songs on itunes.
our 7th grade play this yr was lord of the ringlets: kicking the hahbit (yes spelled like that)
i was a dwarf.
unfortunatly, i am “shy” so mrs enright gave me a one line part. the line was “are we there yet” so it was ok i guess.
but even so. i wouldve enjoyed the part of slallum/gollum whatever.
id be in the skool “choir” which is more like a drama department, but its run by nasty ol’ mrs anderson. who favors her daughter over everybody. and also she’s the drone on and on about irrelavant things type, which i cant stand. so band must substitute for acting. *sigh*
Aida rocks. the brodway musical, i mean. havent seen the opera version.
loooooooove the music. ive seen it twice – once w/ the origional cast and then again this year. excelent both times. although i can barely remember the first time… i was like six or something. about all i recall is going into the theater, and the one scary song… *shudders* my strongest suite…. very scary. and everbody else just aaaaadores it so wen we listen to it in the car we always have to listen to it…. *groan*
in sixth grade we had to write plays… they were really bad. my sister is OBSESSED with PotO and she sings it all the time. it sucks. in english class we would act out scenes from shakespeare, which was really fun. and i’m going to go see a shakespeare santa cruz play this summer (that’s not where i live)
…Hem. I, I am ever so proud to say, was in an opera. At the Lyric in Chicago. Yes, a real opera. It was the SVEETEST to see everything from backstage. I was only six, and I was in one scene with no lines as Daisy’s daughter from The Great Gatsby, operafied version. I even got a curly wig and a dorky little dressy thing to wear. I imagine I looked like something out of Hairspray.
On broadway musicals: AVENUE Q! I am dying to see that! Curse it, I missed Spamalot, which I also wanted too see, even if it was in Chicago. And I’m relatively excited about Wicked.
On Vaguely Theatre Related Literature: Try a book called ‘The Black Canary’ by Jane Louise Curry. Had me entranced from beginning to end. Most charmingly written. Had me wishing I was Elizabethan so I could run away and join the Queen’s choir.
I love the theatre, I’m just disappointed I don’t get to go and see it more often. Tickets are expensive and you usually have to be an adult to buy them beforehand, so going to see plays by myself is problematic.
IF I had the time/money/age to go to the theatre, I’d loooove to see everything that the Shakespeare Theatre in my city does. Back in grade-school we went to see one every year, but my highschool doesn’t do field-trips at all, esp. not to go see plays. A non-Shakespearean company did Pericles, a few months ago and I really, really wanted to see that one, but couldn’t.
I’m with you on the AVENUE Q, Phoebe! (for anyone who doesn’t know, it’s basically an R-rated Seseame Street, done with puppets that’s on Broadway right now) Songs include The Internet is for Porn, If You Were Gay, It Sucks to be Me, Schadenfreude! and There’s a Fine, Fine Line. I think it’s going to Las Vegas straight away, though.
I’ve seen a few Shakespeares- I actually got to see to in the theatre at Stratford. I saw Hamlet and Twelfth Night. They were both excellent. Hamlet had no set, no costumes and only like 2 props (a gun and a glass of poison), which made even better, because it was all about the acting. 12th Night had a bit more props, costumes, set, but not much. It was hilarious, too.
I also saw King Lear and Much Ado about Nothing in Ashland, Oregon. Much Ado was hysterical, but King Lear was a bit more stiff.
Yay for Avenue Q. I took a musical theatre class, and one of the adults taking it had seen Avenue Q. She was sitting behind a party of six year olds who eventually started asking their mothers what ‘porn’ was. Not surprisingly, they left about a scene afterwards. Incidentally, that class rocked. I was the only kid, and I got to be June from Gypsy. There’s a movie, but don’t see it. It’s pretty insufferable, and it’s not even that good a musical.
There’s a version of ‘The Tempest’ playing in the grassy area of a park by my neighbourhood today. I’m gonna go see it! They did Midsummer Night’s Dream last year, which was great. One of the men was to be reckognized by ‘the Roman garment he wore,’ but apparently there’s, like, an indie rock band called ‘The Romans’, and so they all had t-shirts from that band. Sveetness!
When I go up to Canada, I’m going to see a lot of ol’ Billy’s plays. In the town I’m going to, which shall probably be censored anyway, they’re having an annual Shakespeare festival. It should be a lot of fun. I wish I got to act more, but there really aren’t a lot of options ofor me, since my parents will force me to be in the pit rather than onstage. (That’s orchestra pit, not cherry pit. Although that would be mighty cool…)
(1) In the interest of accuracy (one of the things, along with life, the universe, and pie throwing, that Muse is all about), I must note that there’s no such word as “beeth”–not as a form of the verb “to be,” at an rate. There isn’t now, and there wasn’t in Shakespeare’s time. I am; thou art; he, she, or it is; we are; you are; they are. Nobody ever beeth. I don’t care what they say in “Chasing the Sunset.”
(2) GAPAs don’t zap the names of towns you visit. We just don’t want you posting the one you live in, unless it’s big enough for you to fade into the crowd.
Has anyone see the Lion King brodway thingy whatzit? It is so amazingly cool. the costumes are completely amazing. It’s the most wonderful show I have ever seen. I haven’t really seen any big shows though because I live in Wyoming and it’s not exactly the broadway capital of the world. Don’t get me wrong, we do still get some pretty cool shows.
Each year there’s a childrens broadway jr. production. the cast is entirely kids. It’s not just a elementary music concert. We have cool costumes, sets, and everything like that. Anywhay… I’ve been in Fiddler on the roof and Godspell
Billy sneaks a LOT of dirty jokes into his plays. If you really want to know, you will be able to learn by asking an English teacher. In those first two sentences I sneaked in a word that our buddy Billy uses in a dirty way.
On another hand, I’m going to be in Little Shop of Horrors this fall and I’m going to see Wicked soon and I just saw Brklyn and yup!
im in pirates of penzance. im isabel, and i have 3 limnes i say by myself, 17 lines i say in unison with other sisters, and i have to learn 8 songs, and too much dancing, wich is really hard cuz im on the edge of the stage, wearing high heels
DISASTER
i just noticed im first post. in the play isabel is a main character
I’m in the play The Tempest, by good ol’ Bill himself. I play an old advisor. I have about 30 lines.
…I don’t do plays…
Hello! Today I will go to see my sister’s drama club play, The Canterville Ghost.
I always say theatre.
I’m in Macbeth. I’m the third witch. Double, double toil and trouble everyone.
Scale of dragon, tooth of wolf,
Witch’s mummy, maw and gulf
Of th’ ravined salt-sea shark,
Root of hemlock, digged I’ th’ dark,
Add thereto a tiger’s chaudron,
For the ingredience of our cauldron.
*does my freaky witch laugh*
Fair is foul, and foul is fair, we don’t think Mimi has actual hair. Anon, anon!
Can’t believe I memorized all of that.
*stumbles off wearily to do homework*
I’m Peter Pan…but that’s musical, so it doesn’t really count…but it kind of does.
My sister (Taiwan Hippo Fan) competes in a Shakespeare Moonologue and Scene contest every year. SHE ROCKS!!!
Why thank you.
I was going to say that I am doing a sonnet in a storm scene that is supposed to represent ‘The Great Tempest’. It’s really fun!

and for the movie, you were an extra in ice princess. big whoop
ok i was only one of the people in the backstage at the ice skating competition but still
i was not in the audiance

the gut i say is handsome is actually played by an ugly butt, but hey, thats acting
:arrow:hi
i ♥ doing smilies
I did macbeth also, and was the third witch. it was soooo cool!!
Cool about getting to be in a movie, peguin. Do you get any money for it?
My dad was in a TV special once called The Shepherd’s Wife or something. He was one of the Shepherd’s Wife’s sons.
no money
you only saw about part of me but still
i was a “featered” in a movie once. a featured is almost the same as an extra except you dont only appear in group shots of a zillion people
I can’t act to save my life. Heh heh. God, I’m untalented. Is being totally devoid of talents a talent? Or is it just a disability?
25-Best. Play. Ever. I take it you’re one of Mabel’s sisters? That’s a fun part to play.
shoot
i forgot to change my name back from “bob’s”

glad about ur mom
ooh i love plays. i’m in three plays currently, part of Brighton Beach as Nora, and in two folk tales/myths plays…. i love acting.
I would really like someone to make a broadway version of the fabulous movie, ‘Hotel Rwanda.’
That was one of the best movies I’ve ever seen.
It would make a very impactful show.
Also very scary.
I wonder where you could find enough extras to play a 100 dead bodies?
Watch the movie to see what I mean.
Anyone else think it would make a good big kid/adult show?
WICKED. The best musical in the world. I HIGHLY reccomend it to anyone.
Acting
Wicked is an awsome play, but the book its based on is long winded and annoyingly focused on politics and religion.
I did curtain one of the nights of our play, The Canterville Ghost It was fun.
long time no see draMaQueen. arnt u also in the pirates of penzance?
thank you guys for taking my side. i have been here longer
.mi skool just had this bougus assembaly about (wait for it) OPERA singing. what is up with that. it was really stupid
Yay! more people who like Wicked! Though there was a Wicked thread a while badk….
55-Canterville Ghost! I love that story! With the Sunshine Oil, and the brothers, and the Ghost himself!
Oh yeah? Well IM in 101 dalmations! And im a dog called SPARKY!
OH! DISS!
I love Pirates of Penzance! I also am a fan of Into the Woods, Oliver!, On the Town, and Cats.
Maybe next year I will be allowed to act…O happy day.
Why aren’t you allowed to act, Phoenix?
hey Phoenix- o happy day is part of the song i sing in pirates of penzance
ok o happy day is a line in a song
hey i do plays!!! i’ve been in anything goes, beauty and the beast and fiddler on the roof and i’m doing music man this summer!!!

I’m a big musical/theatre/acting fan. While typing this, I’m listening to Vol. 8 of Forbidden Broadway: SVU. My school has a acting program that is a bit… lacking. Next year, though, I’m going to a different school which is representing the USA in Ireland. So I’ll be doing a lot more theatre. acbeth is delicious, I love almost all of Shakespeare’s work. In response to 54, the book Wicked is amazing, as well of the musical. It focuses on politics and religion to draw depth to a shallow musical (WoO). Does anybody here like Rent? It is my /favorite/ musical. It is for a more “mature” audience, but if you can, see it.
I love Wicked’s music. Haven’t actually seen it because my parents won’t take me (GRRR) i have threatened to hitchhike to chicago or new york, but even then, with my minuscule allowance, i wouldn’t be able to afford a ticket. sigh.. i have seen Phantom of the Opera though. it was flamblamablous (did i spell that rite? oh well. u know what i mean)
I luv Phantom of the Opera and Wicked. They are both wournderful musicals.
I will be seeing Wicked! And I have seen Mama Mia and Les Miserables. I haven’t been to New York though. I see them when they come here.
Man, I want to see Wicked so much.. And it’s touring sort of near here, but “sort of” means a few hours away… E~A, after you see it, can you come on here and give us a minute-by-minute review of it? Please? ^_^
I’m seeing Hairspray next year. I was gonna see Drumstruck, but not enough people signed up for that, so decided to go with my friend who is seeing Hairspray (it’s for a skool trip).

our 7th grade play this yr was lord of the ringlets: kicking the hahbit (yes spelled like that)
i was a dwarf.
unfortunatly, i am “shy” so mrs enright gave me a one line part. the line was “are we there yet” so it was ok i guess.
but even so. i wouldve enjoyed the part of slallum/gollum whatever.
id be in the skool “choir” which is more like a drama department, but its run by nasty ol’ mrs anderson. who favors her daughter over everybody. and also she’s the drone on and on about irrelavant things type, which i cant stand. so band must substitute for acting. *sigh*
Aida rocks. the brodway musical, i mean. havent seen the opera version.
loooooooove the music. ive seen it twice – once w/ the origional cast and then again this year. excelent both times. although i can barely remember the first time… i was like six or something. about all i recall is going into the theater, and the one scary song… *shudders* my strongest suite…. very scary. and everbody else just aaaaadores it so wen we listen to it in the car we always have to listen to it…. *groan*
that got odd near the end
in sixth grade we had to write plays… they were really bad. my sister is OBSESSED with PotO and she sings it all the time. it sucks. in english class we would act out scenes from shakespeare, which was really fun. and i’m going to go see a shakespeare santa cruz play this summer (that’s not where i live)
Plays! Theatre! Hurrah!
…Hem. I, I am ever so proud to say, was in an opera. At the Lyric in Chicago. Yes, a real opera. It was the SVEETEST to see everything from backstage. I was only six, and I was in one scene with no lines as Daisy’s daughter from The Great Gatsby, operafied version. I even got a curly wig and a dorky little dressy thing to wear. I imagine I looked like something out of Hairspray.
On broadway musicals: AVENUE Q! I am dying to see that! Curse it, I missed Spamalot, which I also wanted too see, even if it was in Chicago. And I’m relatively excited about Wicked.
On Vaguely Theatre Related Literature: Try a book called ‘The Black Canary’ by Jane Louise Curry. Had me entranced from beginning to end. Most charmingly written. Had me wishing I was Elizabethan so I could run away and join the Queen’s choir.
I love the theatre, I’m just disappointed I don’t get to go and see it more often. Tickets are expensive and you usually have to be an adult to buy them beforehand, so going to see plays by myself is problematic.
IF I had the time/money/age to go to the theatre, I’d loooove to see everything that the Shakespeare Theatre in my city does. Back in grade-school we went to see one every year, but my highschool doesn’t do field-trips at all, esp. not to go see plays. A non-Shakespearean company did Pericles, a few months ago and I really, really wanted to see that one, but couldn’t.
I’m with you on the AVENUE Q, Phoebe! (for anyone who doesn’t know, it’s basically an R-rated Seseame Street, done with puppets that’s on Broadway right now) Songs include The Internet is for Porn, If You Were Gay, It Sucks to be Me, Schadenfreude! and There’s a Fine, Fine Line. I think it’s going to Las Vegas straight away, though.
I’ve seen a few Shakespeares- I actually got to see to in the theatre at Stratford. I saw Hamlet and Twelfth Night. They were both excellent. Hamlet had no set, no costumes and only like 2 props (a gun and a glass of poison), which made even better, because it was all about the acting. 12th Night had a bit more props, costumes, set, but not much. It was hilarious, too.
I also saw King Lear and Much Ado about Nothing in Ashland, Oregon. Much Ado was hysterical, but King Lear was a bit more stiff.
we stopped in ashland on the way north and i wanted to see a shakespeare but we got there like ten minutes to late
I’ve seen Romeo and Juliet SEVERAL times, A Comedy of Errors, A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Othello, though Othello was on a Television.
I’m really envious. 12th Night is one of my favorites.
Shakespeare’s so much fun, I wish I could go see it more often, but even student tickets are $30+.
Yay for Avenue Q. I took a musical theatre class, and one of the adults taking it had seen Avenue Q. She was sitting behind a party of six year olds who eventually started asking their mothers what ‘porn’ was. Not surprisingly, they left about a scene afterwards. Incidentally, that class rocked. I was the only kid, and I got to be June from Gypsy. There’s a movie, but don’t see it. It’s pretty insufferable, and it’s not even that good a musical.
There’s a version of ‘The Tempest’ playing in the grassy area of a park by my neighbourhood today. I’m gonna go see it! They did Midsummer Night’s Dream last year, which was great. One of the men was to be reckognized by ‘the Roman garment he wore,’ but apparently there’s, like, an indie rock band called ‘The Romans’, and so they all had t-shirts from that band. Sveetness!
UPDATES: Saw Tempest. It rocked. Really hard.
PEOPLE. Don’t abandon this thread. Please. You can’t be that heartless, to break my heart, to never post on this again…:cry:
I think they can be, Phoebe. We’re all alone here in the world of theatre.
*I’m* not heartless! Look, here I am!
What about me? I like lurking! It beeth shiny.
When I go up to Canada, I’m going to see a lot of ol’ Billy’s plays. In the town I’m going to, which shall probably be censored anyway, they’re having an annual Shakespeare festival. It should be a lot of fun. I wish I got to act more, but there really aren’t a lot of options ofor me, since my parents will force me to be in the pit rather than onstage. (That’s orchestra pit, not cherry pit. Although that would be mighty cool…)
Ah, you’re parents are the musical types. Compromise! Musical Theatre is fun.
So many un-heartless people. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

(1) In the interest of accuracy (one of the things, along with life, the universe, and pie throwing, that Muse is all about), I must note that there’s no such word as “beeth”–not as a form of the verb “to be,” at an rate. There isn’t now, and there wasn’t in Shakespeare’s time. I am; thou art; he, she, or it is; we are; you are; they are. Nobody ever beeth. I don’t care what they say in “Chasing the Sunset.”
(2) GAPAs don’t zap the names of towns you visit. We just don’t want you posting the one you live in, unless it’s big enough for you to fade into the crowd.
Has anyone see the Lion King brodway thingy whatzit? It is so amazingly cool. the costumes are completely amazing. It’s the most wonderful show I have ever seen. I haven’t really seen any big shows though because I live in Wyoming and it’s not exactly the broadway capital of the world. Don’t get me wrong, we do still get some pretty cool shows.
Each year there’s a childrens broadway jr. production. the cast is entirely kids. It’s not just a elementary music concert. We have cool costumes, sets, and everything like that. Anywhay… I’ve been in Fiddler on the roof and Godspell
*Is INCREDIBLY jealous of Ecila* Broadway shows for kids? CURSE YOU, CHICAGO, FOR NOT HAVING BROADWAY FOR KIDS! *dies*
About two years ago, I attented an art workshop, where kids were helping to create props and costumes for a children’s play.
It was a small scale, little kid-ish type of play, but I had a lot of fun.
I got to go back stage, behind the curtain, and be up on stage as well.
It’s a great feeling.
I’ve started designing my own show.
I’ll tell you about it.
Billy sneaks a LOT of dirty jokes into his plays. If you really want to know, you will be able to learn by asking an English teacher. In those first two sentences I sneaked in a word that our buddy Billy uses in a dirty way.
On another hand, I’m going to be in Little Shop of Horrors this fall and I’m going to see Wicked soon and I just saw Brklyn and yup!
My show has been moved to its own thread.
Type my name in the search box to find it.
Shakspeare? Dirty jokes? Ok, now I REALLY want to see a Shakspeare play… Couldn’t find any in Midsummer Night’s Dream or Tempest.
Someone’s not looking very hard then.
