How could I have forgotten Dame Edna?
My dad got dragged on stage as the "senior citizen," and had him dress up like the Queen Mum. To this day, my dad calls that his Broadway debut. I still have the Polaroid of my dad and Dame Edna from that night, but unfortunately, Polaroids don't seem to hold up well over time.
I enjoyed her recent show, but not as much, because it was just more of the same.

I remember laughing out loud at many Broadway productions like "Lend Me A Tenor", "Noises Off", "Rumors" and "Lettice & Lovage" but I would have to say that biggest laughs came when I saw "The Foreigner" Off-Broadway back in 1985.

Posted: 8/7/05 at 4:07pmI DIED during both The Producers and Spamalot.

Posted: 8/7/05 at 4:13pmI would have to say Noises Off and The Full Monty. Also the elevator scene with Denis O'Hare in Charity.

Posted: 8/7/05 at 4:16pmNever laughed at Producers. No. No. No. Sorry. But Urinetown was very funny. Close second: Noises Off.
#37re: What is the funniest show you've ever seen?
Posted: 8/7/05 at 4:20pmI saw an original musical at Brown University many years ago called "Emma" based on the novel but updated, which had a song in it called, "Hey!" which was the funniest moment I ever had in the theater. Even in Avenue Q, which was genius...I didn't laugh as much as I had when I heard that song from Emma.

Posted: 8/7/05 at 4:20pmAlso, "A Little Priest" from Sweeney. When I saw it with Hearn and Lansbury at the Kennedy Center way back when, it took them over 10 minutes to get through the number. They had to keep stopping because of all the howls of laughter coming from the audience.

Posted: 8/7/05 at 4:25pmThere's this show been created in Los Angeles (I think) called "Up in the air!" It's supposed to be an absolute scream and I cannot wait to see it!!!
#40re: What is the funniest show you've ever seen?
Posted: 8/7/05 at 4:30pmAvenue Q, without a doubt.

The Constant Wife by Somerset Maugham
Wonder of the World by David Lindsay-Abaire
Any of Oscar Wilde's comedies
As You Like It by Shakespeare
Nosies Off by Michael Frayn
The Foreigner by Larry Shue
Forbidden Broadway
Avenue Q
"A Little Priest" from Sweeney Todd
A great question would be "What was the most UNINTENTIONALLY funny show you've ever seen?"

The Producers.
Avenue Q, Hairspray, Spamalot, DRS, Rocky Horror, and of course Forbidden Broadway all deserve mention, but the "Springtime For
Hitler" scene alone does it for The Producers.

#46re: What is the funniest show you've ever seen?
Posted: 8/7/05 at 5:16pmI actually saw Anything Goes two days ago, and it was the funniest show I've ever seen. It was a local production done by teenagers, but it was incredible. Very funny.

Posted: 8/7/05 at 7:45pmSpelling Bee all the way. If you would have asked me a year ago, I would have said Avenue Q (with John Tartaglia).
