Shamelessly stolen blog post

I've been a bit quiet on the blogging front of late due to a lack of anything interesting to say. That hasn't changed, but I did come across this on another blog and thought I'd give it a shot myself.  The premise is answering a series of questions on the last 10 things you saw at the theatre - for the sake of variety I'm not including repeat visits, otherwise half of my top ten would be made up of the same show....

List the last 10 things you saw at the theatre, most recent first.


1. Clybourne Park
2. Thrill Me
3. In A Forest Dark And Deep
4. Godspell
5. Frankenstein
6. Celebrity Autobiography
7. King Lear
8. Wicked
9. Love Never Dies
10. End Of The Rainbow

Who was the best performer in number 1?
Couldn't single any of them out, this was definitely an ensemble piece.

Why did you go to see number 2?
Glowing reviews from a friend. It more than lived up to my expectations, go and see it if you get the chance.

Can you remember a line/lyric from number 3 that you liked?
Don't remember the exact line, but I was quite tickled by a joke about U2.

What would you give number 4 out of ten?
Difficult to rate this fairly as it was an amateur production, but I'm going to go with 6.

Was there someone hot in number 5?
A couple....

What was number 6 about?
Not really about anything, other than ridiculing the crazy things some celebrities say in the autobiographies.

Who was your favourite actor in number 7?
Derek Jacobi. He had me mesmerised from the minute he opened his mouth.

What was your favourite bit in number 8?
Rachel Tucker's riffs at the end of No Good Deed

Would you see number 9 again?
Hahaha!

What was the worst thing about number 10?
That Tracie Bennett didn't win an Olivier for her performance

Which one was best?
Can't pick just one, but top 3 would be Frankenstein, Love Never Dies and End Of The Rainbow

Which one was worst?
Probably slightly unfair of me, but I'm going to have to say Godspell.

Did any make you cry?
Love Never Dies and End Of The Rainbow

Did any make you laugh?
Quite a few, but especially Clybourne Park and Celebrity Autobiography

Which roles would you like to play in any of them?
Too many to list....

Which one did you have the best seats for?
All of them were damn good seats, except King Lear.
