There's a little bit of diva in all of us. Some just have a larger helping than others.

I have quite a few that I really like, some depends on the cast etc.
But I must say one of the plays that I really really love is "Everything I know, I learned in Kindergarten" It is a compilation of true stories that brings you from laughing till your sides hurt to crying. It has got to be one of the most awesome for real pieces ever written. Musicals would have to be "Wicked". Just because I think it is the best 'NEW' piece out of Broadway since the 40's. |

I wasn't sure if you meant plays you've seen or acted in or read.... I write plays, don't act in them. Memorial plays that I've seen live include Hair, the RSC plays in NYC in the 70s, lot of Joe Papp's Shakespeare plays, Actor's Theatre's Crucible. . .can't began to name them all. I've seen some great actors ...impossible to list the great plays. My favorite plays in general include Hamlet [Branagh's film was great], The Bacchae....any Shakespeare or Greek plays. Anybody seen Cacoyannis' Trojan Women film or Zoe Caldwell's Medea?

Wow...toughie!
From the audience, it would have to be The Full Monty, Hairspray, Legally Blonde, In the Heights and, if done right, Jesus Christ Superstar - all for different reasons
From the director/producer chair - I would have to say The Wizard of Oz - but the original play version that is not around anymore and Fully Committed (if the right actor is in the part)

Some plays that I think need to be mentioned, both because I love them and I think they are some of the best American Plays ever written: Streetcar Named Desire, Death of a Salesman, All My Sons
As for favorites though, best experience in a theatre ever Gross Indecency, the Three Trials of Oscar Wilde, The Laramie Project, Hamlet. I am not a huge musical fan, but I had a lot of fun working on Jesus Christ Superstar, The Full Monty (although I really think it is a poorly written book that pales when compared to the movie) and Olympus On My Mind. |
