Bulldog!! I haven't seen you on BWW in a LOOONG time!!

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle

95% sure of the correctness of this

"If there was a Mount Rushmore for Broadway scores, "West Side Story" would be front and center. It snaps, it crackles it pops! It surges with a roar, its energy and sheer life undiminished by the years" - NYPost reviewer Elisabeth Vincentelli

I turned 25 in December 1984...so working backwards:

Nov 1977: THE KING AND I (my first Broadway show...seen the day after it was recorded), A CHORUS LINE, THE ACT, ANNIE, I LOVE MY WIFE, THE MAGIC SHOW, HAIR.

Cast albums are NOT "soundtracks."
Live theatre does not use a "soundtrack." If it did, it wouldn't be live theatre!

I host a weekly one-hour radio program featuring cast album selections as well as songs by cabaret, jazz and theatre artists. The program, FRONT ROW CENTRE is heard Sundays 9 to 10 am and also Saturdays from 8 to 9 am (eastern times) on www.proudfm.com

Ok so Toronto has a lame theatre scene what can I do?

Toronto has a far more innovative and thriving theatre scene these days than it has had in years.

Since Labour Day we have seen an excellent staging of KING LEAR by Soulpepper Theatre, Rick Miller's hysterical MacHOMER, A first rate production or Noel Coward's PRESENT LAUGHTRER, the premiere of a new production of James Kirkwood's LEGENDS, a re-mounting of Daniel McIvor's HERE LIES HENRY, and the Canadian Premiere of REEFER MADNESS - THE MUSICAL.

In the weeks ahead we have the plays TINY DYNAMITE, GENEROUS, BABY WITH THE BATHWATER, and OF MICE AND MEN plus the musicals THE LAST RESORT, ON A CLEAR DAY YOU CAN SEE FOREVER, and PIPPIN.

What about all the shows still on at Stratford including THE GLASS MENAGERIE, OLIVER!, SOUTH PACIFIC and LONDON ASSURANCE? The Shaw Festival season runs until the end of October and includes the musical HIGH SOCIETY which is a hellova lot more fun than the recent Broadway version, a riveting production of Arthur Miller's THE CRUCIBLE, the well-received staging of THE MAGIC FIRE, a sparking revival of Shaw's ARMS AND THE MAN, and a very fine production of THE HEIRESS.

I must confess I am concerned that you are going back to see WICKED a third and a fourth time, while ignoring so many other shows, yet have the audacity to label our theatre scene as "lame." Toronto's theatre scene is anything BUT lame.
