49 Shows

Dec 02, 2013 04:09

A year or two ago I decided to try to make a list of all of the theatre that I've seen in London. I combed my records, as well as lists of shows produced by various west end theatres. At present count I'm up to 49, but I can't actually swear that this list is accurate. I probably missed something that I've seen, or included something that I ( Read more... )

It's a great story and a great script. I saw it with second-tier actors in London-- the ones who take over roles after the original cast gets bored with it and it's clear that the show is going to run a long time. It was still excellent.

I've seen 14 of these in some fashion or other, mostly as movies. I wondered about a few I had assumed would be on your list, till I re-read the post and saw this was only the London list. I can't really imagine "Fame" going well there. It seems like an inherently American sort of production to me.

Movies are usually very different beasts. Also, these are only the London shows... I've seen plenty of others in NY, SF, and a few other places.

Fame actually should have translated well to the stage, but I think the cast was burned out when I saw it. Priscilla Queen of the Desert translates brilliantly, though it's pretty much just a discolicious fun time.

I'm tempted to go through and rate/annotate what's on there. I'm also lazy, though.
