I ADORE theater. Especially the smaller productions. Now, mind you, I do of course also like the big Broadway shows; there's absolutely nothing wrong with those. Quite the spectacle, with all those lavish costumes and set pieces and, well, you know. It's absolutely incredible, the whole "show stopping number" business of the thing, like those old MGM pictures: you have the feeling they spared no expense. Truly it's magical. And the soaring orchestrations. OH, but the smaller ones, where it's more intimate, with the stage so very close and the performances so personal and raw, and where you might meet the actors and writers and directors afterward--perhaps see something before it becomes big, support the small theatrical groups and all that--I especially adore that. But I mean, it's all about the experience, so really. I adore it.
