I'd still like to hear the thoughts of other people, rather then just listing 4-5 random musicals.
You think they're overrated? Explain why.

Gotta love how, with few exceptions, no one here is even bothering to explain why they think a show is overrated...

Huh, strange. Obama was flying the plane and dropped the bomb that killed this teenager?

Honestly, to the people who say things like "HUR DUR, ENTERTAINERS SHOULD JUST KEEP THEIR MOUTHS SHUT AND ENTERTAIN INSTEAD OF WAXING POLITICS!", just be honest and say what you really mean:
"ENTERTAINERS SHOULDN'T SAY MEAN THINGS ABOUT TRUMP!"
I wonder, if the roles were reversed, and entertainers spoke out about Hillary, would these same people stick to their guns, or would they go "GOOD FOR THAT ENTERTAINER FOR HAVING THE COURAGE TO SPEAK

auditions May 13
2017, 10:58:11 AM
I made that mistake several years ago for an audition for a touring group doing "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)".
I figured the guys running the audition didn't want to hear the same 4-5 Shakespeare monologues over and over, so I decided to try a different route, and did a monologue from The Kids in the Hall, thinking, if I could get them to laugh, it would work in my favor, right?
.....Yeah, within 10 seconds of starting, I knew I had

Mom & Autistic child kicked out of Chicago Aladdin May 13
2017, 10:36:42 AM
Exactly.
The people who are saying things like "Shame on this theater for kicking the mom and child out!" are completely missing the point.
So, say you're watching a play, and an autistic child is screaming at the top of his lungs, so much so that the actors can't focus on stage, and it's a visible distraction.
Should we just all go "Oh, well, we can't discriminate, let the child stay, even if he's screaming and being a visua

Ok, maybe not hysterical, but you were waaaaaaaay to over the top for a discussion such as this.

Mom & Autistic child kicked out of Chicago Aladdin May 12
2017, 09:46:10 AM
I went to a community theater production of a show where an autistic person was literally screaming at the top of her lungs, so much so they literally had to pause a scene on stage while the woman and her handler had to leave the hall where the show was being staged.
Like others have said, if said special needs person can sit through the show and isn't hindering the actors on stage (yelling while a scene is going on), then by all means, take them to enjoy theater.

Dear Theater Fans, Please Stop Stealing May 5

Gonna have to agree with the camp here that states that this just oozes as being very lecturing and being very condescending, llana.
Within the first few sentences of your opening post, I found myself rolling my eyes and going "Wow, really?". If you wanted to actually come off as someone who was looking for a discussion and not as some stuffy grade school teacher tool, reactions like what I had should show you that you're not exactly approaching this correctly.

The Terms of My Surrender--Michael Moore hitting Broadway May 3
2017, 10:38:37 AM
Moore is doing this knowing fully well it's gonna get eyeballs firmly on him.
The Pro-Trump people will come out of the woodwork to insult him for daring to speak out against Lord Cheeto
The Anti-Trump people will praise his bravery and say they'll flock to the show.
Overall? Publicity.
