Have you seen a theatre production with any “big” celebrities?

… Diana Rigg (a great FAV of mine!).

What was she in? A shakespeare production?

She was on tour with what would become a flop, Colette.

Loved her anyway....

^^I'd have given my right arm to see Lettice and Lovage. I adore Maggie Smith.

Sadly I just couldn't get to London at the time.

Standouts in my memory:
The original production of Camelot, with Richard Burton, Julie Andrews and Robert Goulet.
The original production of A Man For All Seasons, with Paul Scofield.

Seeing Maggie Smith would be a highlight for me. You are lucky.

James Earl Jones is another that would be nice to see.

James Earl Jones is another that would be nice to see.

Believe it or not, Madonna was actually pretty good. She played a secretary.

Also, James Earl Jones' two co-stars are pretty well known. They were Mary Alice and Courtney B. Vance.

The people that impress me the most are usually the ensemble players. They almost always have to play two or more characters. They just seem the hardest working. They are also usually the nicest when I meet them after the show.


Courtney B. Vance is very good as well.

I was a young man when I stumbled on those tickets. It was a remarkable performance and I cherish the memory.

 

[pat grimshaw]

I think it's sad that Maggie Smith isn't getting big roles any more.

I heard of cancer treatment 3 years ago; I wonder if that's the reason?

 

[AlmondMilk]

I was going to get tickets for How to Succeed to see Daniel Radcliffe, but plans fell through. Ugh... don't rely on people >:|

Now it's that Jonas brother...but I could care less.
