You can count the number of Broadway productions we've seen on one hand. We saw
La Cage aux Folles in NYC,
Chicago in London, and
Wicked in Los Angeles. Rather than just being a vacation thing, we're going to pay a little more attention to musical theatre as it occurs in Vancouver.
Broadway Across Canada does provide a few travelling productions each season. I was checking the site for
Spamalot and couldn't find a way to locate season tickets in Vancouver. I did note that the
Broadway Across America site also matches up different shows for the season in Seattle. That'd be a good excuse to travel down on a weekend.
As well, of course, there are more-local productions. Even in our own city of New Westminster, shows, such as a recent production of
West Side Story, are put on at the
Massey Theatre.
As a matter of fact, I just put away my credit card after buying tickets to
The Producers from the
Arts Club Theatre Comany in Vancouver. We'll go to this Sunday's matinee. We've seen both the 1968 and the 2005 movies but absolutely love the more recent one. It's definitely not everybody's kind of entertainment but it sure works for us.
