"Jon it's the Picture Show...as in Rocky Horror Picture Show or The Last Picture Show."
Or "The Picture Show" from Parade.
"it bugs me that my dad says he's taking me to see "that one play" because he doesn't want to admit he's going to see a musical. that really pisses me off."
I think I'd be glad my Dad was taking me to see "that one play". What a thing to get pissed off about...
I think there are a lot more important things to get upset at.
No- not at all.
aasj, the cast recording/soundtrack thing annoys me also, especially when an entertainment reporter does it.
Sing, I am cracking up...I was just thinking how much it bugs me when my mother in law says she is going to the thee-ay-ter.
Even my children mock her for it.
"Even my children mock her for it."
I wonder where they learned THAT?!
From YOU, Diva! :)
Musicals ARE plays.
But plays are not always musicals.
So, no, it doesn't bug me, nor should it bug you.
We should let go of the OCR/Sountrack thing too. It's not important and it just makes you sound like a know it all prig.

It bugs me when people use the verb "showing" to refer to live theatre, as in "Promises Promises is showing at the Broadway".
It is PLAYING at the Broadway. Movies are SHOWING (or playing)at various multiplexes.
