Wicked on tour in tampa. I had seen it like 20 billion times while it was here and I had run out of friends to see it with. I have to say I like going by myself, I think I pay more attention.

South Pacific, because Roomate bailed on me and Boyfriend doesn't like theatre and Friends were not available.

No. This is just how I talk on messageboards. I don't do names online, so friends are typically called Friend, Friend A and Friend B, Friends, etc. My boyfriend is Boyfriend. My roomate is Roomate. My sister is Sister. My best friend is Clever. You get the idea.

August: Osage County It was really amazing. I prefer to see plays alone musicals are more fun with a group I think.

First time was How to Suceed in 1962 because my parents weren't interested is seeing it. MANY times before under the jurisdiction of parents or "responsible" adults. He-he, if only they'd known went on those days.

Cyrano with Jennifer Garner and Kevin Kline.

I used to be freaked out by the thought of going to a show alone. And now I do it all the time. Though I do think it is always more special to experience live theater with someone.

The first show I saw alone was Hairspray. I was having a rotten week and just decided to go see a show. But since it was a spur of the moment think no one was available. I was having trouble deciding whether I wanted to see something I'd already seen or something new. I decided that I wanted to be able to "share" the experience of a new show with someone else. So Hairspray it was.

I eventually got over that so the first "new" show I saw was Drowsy Chaperone.

I went to a show by myself for the first time a few months ago. It was to see Patti Lupone Gypsy. My friend went to see Legally Blonde.

And then a few nights later my friend went to see Mary Poppins while I went to see In the Heights.

I think I chose the better shows. =]

Well since the first time I went to NYC my dad isnt a huge theatre person so two shows we saw together (Avenue Q and DRS) and then I saw Lestat and Sweeney Todd by myself. Since then every show I have seen in NYC with the exception of RENT I have seen bymyself.

Wicked, August 19th, 2004.
My sixteenth birthday because my aunt couldn't get a ticket and I wanted to see it for my birthday, so she walked me to the theater and then we met up after.

The first and only one was the current Equus revival - a very interesting thing to experience solo.

Barnum with Jim Dale was the first. I must have been 11. My dad went to the city on business. Dropped me off at the matinee and picked me up after. Saw Annie with Alice Ghostley as Hannigan that evening.
