I saw The Lion King with the family several years ago when it came to San Francisco. I feel I should say "I enjoyed it" but in reality, I didn't like it. I was annoyed by it.
That said, I generally enjoy musicals on stage -- if it's in the $20 (or less) price range. I generally don't like comedies and dramas on stage, mostly because of the great distance between the stage and my seat. I can't see anything.

Several years ago, the wife and I took in a local theater production of The Sound of Music with a cast of largely amateur actors. The performances were bad to mediocre especially the lead role of Maria. It had maybe one solid talent -- and really loved watching him perform, towering over the entire cast. There was something raw and energetic about it. We really loved it.

If I’m not in the first 15 rows, I won’t go. #theatersnob

Saw Hairspray last week. I’ve seen it in London and on Broadway. This touring non-equity cast was every bit as good. I smiled the whole time.

first show of the new season is in about 2 weeks. "six" on tuesday october 3rd.
and, for the first time ever, shows on tuesday, wednesday, or thursday start at 7:30 instead of 8pm. i am so happy about this. i take public transportation and this means, for longer shows, i can get home before midnight

Heading to London. Taking my mom to see Wicked. We decided to just do one show, so really looking forward to this. It is one of the few long-running shows neither of us have seen yet. We will be seeing it at the Apollo Victoria Theater and have excellent seats (at a much lower price than I am used to paying on Broadway). Should be a fun mother-daughter trip!

I’ve seen SIX 3 times. It is so fun. Really more of a 90 minute pop concert than a Broadway musical. Hope you like it!

IMO, you can never go wrong with Wicked. I’ve seen it 15 times. Ridiculous, I know. And yes, a perfect mother/daughter show. Saw it in London once. It’s a beautiful theater. Have fun!

It's my mom's 70th birthday this year. This will be the only 4th time she has ever left the country in her life. We are doing it right! Theater tickets, fancy hotels, high tea at the Goring. Then off to Amsterdam for a few days of canals and Van Gogh. I am an avid traveler and am out of the country several times a year, so looking forward to sharing my love of exploring with my mom. We leave in two weeks!

I imagine this will be a slightly different trip than when I went to Amsterdam at age 20 LOL
