    Yes many of them. Starting when I was young and my father used to take me.  Now I go to operas as well. This weekend we will go to a production of The Music Man.

  • "Yes" ... a few times.  In the Balboa Park Starlight Theater.

    Oh yes. 

    I saw HAIR in the 60's and I had just dropped some LSD.  So, I'm not sure if I remember it.

  • Yes, I've seen a few at the Orpheum in San Francisco, including "Wicked" and "Les Miz".

    Just a couple.

    Fiddler on the Roof - put on in a little theater in Cannon Beach, Oregon.

    Shanghai'd in Astoria - put on in Astoria, Oregon (which used to be a major shanghai port).

    I am happy to say, Yes!  Mom and dad used to take us as kids.  I'm sorry to say, as an adult, I haven't made time for Don and me to go.   Now that you mention it, I should.  I'll look in the paper and see what's up. :)  Good idea. :)
    The musicals I have seen on stage are:  Oklahoma, The Music Man, Chicago, Chorus line, Man of La Mancha, and Fiddler on the Roof.
    Two of my favorite musicals that I have not seen on stage are: The Sound of Music and West Side Story.  Those would be phenomenal to see on stage!

    Only a couple of big ones:  'Hair' about 100 years ago and I saw Donny Osmond in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.  I've also gone to several small productions because I had a friend who was involved with musical theater.

      Nope, never. I'm not a fan of musicals: I'm the type of person who has to hear a song's lyrics several times in order to understand them. In musicals, I never understand everything that's being sung in the lyrics, so I spend so much time and effort trying to get every word that I miss out on the fun of it all.

    I personally see no point in them. I am glad others enjoy though.

  • I agree. I respect the skills and talents placed on display in musicals but having played small roles in 3 or 4 of the things(Community Theatre) I've had enough.
