Well, I'm Russian so ballet is kinda in my blood. For the record, though, I have ever only seen The Nutcracker (once around Christmas, with my wife). That's the closest I'd come to seeing ballet live (The Nutcracker is, technically, a ballet, but it's like the more traditional/classical stuff like Swan Lake). It was just like going to see The Phantom (which I've done twice but, again, that's the limit of my exposure to "Broadway") but without the singing. I love live music, so I enjoyed it. Generally, though, I usually enjoy excellenece in most endeavors.
Do I have to forfeit my membership now?
My favorite musical. I've seen it twice live, I've watched all the movie versions they've made, and I know almost all of the songs by heart. Such brilliant writing and singing. When it was in town, I was ecstatic.
Several years ago, I had a chance to go see it.
I gave up my ticket so I could go see U2 instead. (I've never missed a tour)
The ticket was with my then girlfriend, now wife, and her parents, thus my future in-laws.
Probably not the smartest move from a tactical standpoint. Although I must admit the concert was amazing.
I still hear about it, though.
Now she won't let me go see The Phantom. Ever. The last time it came to Ottawa, she went with her sister.
