Thread Name: Broadway Show Tunes New
Subject: RE: Broadway Show Tunes New
Was anyone else disappointed in Cats? I had heard the music before I saw the show, and I loved it, but was sorely disappointed in the show.

Speaking of The Mikado, (someone did in the other thread), my friend Janice and I decided that it's very important when seeing Gilbert and Sullivan to get a good seat down front in order to hear all the words. Also, we attend all the lunch and listens and preperformance talks, and we've learned many tidbits that otherwise would have missed. ie. the Shakespearean reference to shreds and patches (correct words?) in The Mikado.

Also, has anyone else noticed how easy it is to jog or treadmill to broadway or operatic tunes?
