I thought MAN OF LaMANCH had no intermission It doesn't. :wink:
I guess I must be in a somewhat unique position, because between seeing B'way shows from when I was still a kid growing up in Texas and having an aunt who was determined I was gonna grow up "cultchad", I've seen almost all the big hits over the years. And maybe my tastes have become more severe over the years, but a lot of the blockbusters - like
Cats, Les Miz, Phantom and one whose name I dare not mention lest the entire wrath of the board descend - have left me cold. The last truly enjoyable evening I had at the theatre in NY?
Bombay Dreams, because I went into it with no expectations and, as a result, had a blast. But a show like (not naming names) came in with massive hype and was, as a result, a huge letdown.
But the one show I never saw and wished I had? The original
Company. I've seen the black and white tape at the Library of the Performing Arts, but it's just not the same.
