Adult Entertainment
Imaginary Friends- It was so boring watching paint dry would be more entertaining and I loved the cast. Agony. The doll dance made me cringe.
Oh, I hated that show so much.

Suzanne Somers- Blonde in a Thunderbird.
When she breaks out if I only had a brain from the Wizard Of Oz I thought I would lose it. Sometime things are so terrible they even shock me.

The Frogs-I got bored during the Shakespeare vs. Shaw match. I started to doze off then I thought about how much I payed for the ticket and I forced my eyes to stay open.

Posted: 6/27/05 at 9:54amNo Corine, I am not high. The SVU show I saw was deeply unfunny and misguided except for a few choice songs. Aside from that, dull dull dull.

Little Women? *cries* God, I loved that show! *sigh*
*ahem*
Anyway, to answer your question, only this one play called "The Importance of Being Frank". It was a one act in a workshop. Boring and predictable and "love conquers all" cliche-ish, but I supposes that's to be expected from a community college workshop. LOL
Then again, I haven't seen as many shows as most of you.

popculture,
Have you seen a lot of theater?
Personally, I think FB SVU is the funniest show ever.
I think you have to see a lot of theatre to get all the inside jokes.
Nothing makes me laugh as much as FB.

Posted: 6/27/05 at 10:06amYes, oh patronising one, I have seen TONS of theater, in London and in New York. I have seen Forbidden Broadway 3 times, once in London, twice off Broadway. SVU was uninspired (for the most part) and underwhelming. And judging by the very weak response from the audience the night I saw it, I was not alone in thinking this.

Did you see it with Jen Simard?
You saw it three times? So you must like it.
I would not see Prymate three times.
I'm sorry. I just adore FB.

A community theatre production of Billy Budd, I left at intermission because I just couldn't take it anymore.
A touring production of Macbeth. There were only 5 people playing all of the roles, I actually fell asleep! During Macbeth! Unfortunately I woke up in time for the Q&A afterward when a girl from my high school asked the thought provoking question, "I can have that sword?"
