I am SO glad you had a great time. And I am even gladder that you posted all about it.
I always loved the theatre because it's so *now*. I mean, this second right now will not happen exactly this way again. Audience reaction/costume weirdnessess/forgetting a line and winging it; all those things make for an immediacy that you can't have on film.
*grin* I remember seeing Shakespeare's "Richard II" twice when I lived in DC. (So shoot me, Richard Chamberlain was starring and he was really FINE back in '72.) Neither performance was exactly alike and both performances were worth every penny. (And I spent my entire salary for a week on those tickets.)
