Quite like some film musicals - King & I, Seven Brides and West Side Story are always unmissable.
Don't like theatres very much, saw Sweet Charity in the West End many years ago, wasn't particularly impressed.
One of these days I would love to go to the opera for real, enjoy them when shown on TV, the stories are wonderful.
Frazzled, if you ever get the chance I would highly recommend Aida, its a wonderful story, sad, but the performances from the Opera singers are unbelievable. I would say dont sit too close to the stage though as trying to imagine a 40 year old soprano as a 20 year old virgin is sometimes very hard to do! lol
