We haven't seen much discussion about stage plays and modern opera here. Do we have any fans of the theater? Favorites?
I grew up watching musicals - The King and I, Fiddler on the Roof, My Fair Lady, Flower Drum Song, Guys and Dolls... and later, productions such as A Chorus Line, and Cats. I always enjoyed the theater. My favorite by far was Phantom of the Opera. Perhaps my least favorite of the major hits, was Cats. I liked a good bit of the music but it just didn't work for me. The one I most regret missing was Les Miserables. Everyone I knew who saw it, loved it.
Perhaps the most interesting drama that I've seen was Tom Stoppard's, Arcadia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcadia_(play)Arcadia is a 1993 play by Tom Stoppard concerning the relationship between past and present and between order and disorder and the certainty of knowledge. It has been cited by many critics as the finest play from one of the most significant contemporary playwrights in the English language...
