When was the last time you saw a play and what was it?

I've been going to more concerts than plays, I guess.   I saw Romeo and Juliet as a ballet. Before that, the last one was probably Camelot.

My last live theatrical performance? Long, long ago. I can't remember details.

I saw a play a few months ago but it was so terrible that I have blocked the name of it.

It has been ages since I last saw a play in a theater. It think the last thing I saw was "Tommy" on Broadway and god was it awful.

Wow, it's been a while.
Last April, I saw the King and I at the centroplex. I was in a Victorian performance class (we read Victorian texts that had been turned into musicals) and the entire class went. It was a lot of fun :)

The last play I saw (excluding my children's church plays), was "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas". It was my 16th birthday present from my mother. To see a musical that had played broadway made me feel quite grown up and special that night.

The last play I saw was a student production of "The Robber Bridegroom" last year.

I have seen many performances recently. I saw a musical, Jekyl and Hyde, two weeks ago on Broadway in New York City. A week before that I saw A Midsummer Night's Dream, performed by the MIT Shakespeare Ensamble. Two months before that I saw Chess (multiple times) performed by the MIT Musical Theatre Group in which my boyfriend played Molokov. Coming up this week and next, one of my friends is in a student written play, and my boyfriend will play Hilarion in MIT Gilbert and Sullivan Player's performance of Princess Ida.

The last play I saw was way back in high school, and I have no idea what it was.

I saw King Lear in Hattiesburg.
As many problems as I had with the University of Southern Mississippi, it had a splendid theatre department

I believe I was a junior in high school, I went to see The Bad Seed put on by the drama department at my school. I really liked it, and that surprised me because I don't usually like plays.

this past Saturday, April 1st, I saw a touring Broadway production of the  Showboat revival. . . .as for non-musical theatre, about two months ago I went to the local community theatre here in Pensacola and saw three one-act plays collectively titled "Death Defying Acts"(as in the acts of the play, and they all had comic takes on mortality and such. . . .(get it?)). . . One of the three one-acts was by David Mamet, one was by Elaine May and one was by Woody Allen. . . .I wondered if these plays had been put together as a single evening's worth of entertainment previously or if it was the inspiration of the director of this particular production. . . .
