What was your best theater experience?

Question

What was your most memorable performance? What was the best show that you've seen?

I would like to know what other people have experienced on or near the stage.

Answer 1

Stage managing a production of "The Baltimore Waltz" was both my best and my most memorable theatre experience. I really couldn't have asked for a better group of people to work with. I had three of the best actors I've ever had the pleasure of working with, a wonderful director, and my whole tech crew just clicked right from the beginning. It was an award-winning production (a student production, but it was bloody good!). During every performance we did we had people both laughing and crying and leaving the theatre thinking about just how short and fragile life is and how beautiful it can be.

The best show I've seen was the night I went with two of my then-roommates to see RENT on Broadway. We got lotto seats, so we were right in the front row (seriously, I could have reached out and touched the actors without standing up). It was one of the best casts they've had, and they had a really good performance that night. It was the only time I've ever actually cried during a play.

Answer 2

By far the best theater performance was at the National Talent Awards, where me and my group won the grand prize with a "home-made" play. It was the best because you act different when the spotlight is fixed on you and 3 cameras capturing your last line...which is the closing monologue. But I think 2 days later..seeing yourself on national television brings more joy to the experience

Answer 3

I feel my most memorable performance was as an old British lady "Louise" in the short one-act play "Nasty Things, Murders." She was a hilarious character, and I ended up winning a few awards with that play. I loved the comedy of it with a bunch of old women in a retirement home being convinced that because one of their new housemates knew the ending to a murder show on the BBC, she was the murdress described in the show! My character was convinced she was the guilty one and quite hilarious in trying to convince the others... Good times!

A recent show I've seen that blew me away was a musical called "Zombie Prom." It's pretty obscure, but really hilarious! It was sooo over the top, but that's what made it really good. (Plot line- Two teenagers in love have to break up because the girl's parents don't approve. Boy throws himself into nuclear waste plant. Power of love brings him back to life. Community grapples with Zombie rights. Boy ends up taking girl to prom and gets a big happy "nuclear" family! Cheesy, no?)

Hope this is anywhere near what you were looking for!

BEST WISHES!!!
