What Shows Should I See#1

Posted: 8/31/09 at 4:40pm

Here are my requirements:

1. I hate shows with gunshots, swear words, strobe lights, nudity, illusion of nudity, shirtlessness, or any kind of obvious hat.

2. I'd prefer not to see a show that was written or takes place before I was born.

3. I'd also prefer not to see a show involving a minority but if I do I'd prefer that there only be one on stage at once.

4. I can't see anything that goes against my core values.

5. If it's a revival it shouldn't feature any of the original choreography.

6. I really like shows that feature skating or the illusion of skating.

7. No Penguins.

8. I have a hearing aid so it can't be too loud or it will set off feedback and I don't have the code to reset the damn thing.

9. All the actors involved must be willing to chat with me at length at the stage door. If you suggest a show I'd like a detailed personality description of each performer.

10. I'm going to bootleg the show so I 'd like to go to a show with lazy ushers.

Thanks in advance everyone!

Do you have to be able to take pictures too?

Well, I've got nothing. Those are the only shows I see.

Okay if I do have to see a show written before I was born it must feature at least 2 people who have been in Rent or Wicked.

The new musical called..."X PEEP SHOW"...there are a couple on 8th ave.

I'm a professional. Whenever something goes wrong on stage, I know how to handle it so no one ever remembers. I flash my %#$&. "Jayne just sat there while Gina flailed around the stage like an idiot."

I think Wicked meets all your requirements except for #6.

I don't know, Elphaba's hat is a bit on the obvious side which is in direct violation of #1.

"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert

It takes place before I was born and Elphaba and Dr. Dillamond both count as minorities and are on stage at same time.

I had tons of ideas for you until the no penguin clause.

I guess you wouldn't want to see Billy Elliot, since they have that horribly incomprehensible accent.

When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain. -Kad

Anyone know where I can find a discount for A Perfect Crime. I can't find one anywhere and it's never on TKTS.

my cousin said the perfect crime was getting people to see that show.
