2019 Scrapbook Pages

Here are 8 of the 9 plays Dave & I saw in 2019.  There was one we didn’t really enjoy, so I’m not showing that one.  Of the 9 plays, 8 were based on movies (musicals).

Rocky, the Musical.  

We love the movie, but weren’t too sure about it being turned into a musical.  We were pleasantly surprised and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.  

This play is a musical about 3 drag queens travelling across the desert in a VW Beetle Van.  I have not seen the movie, but it sounded like a fun play.  We loved it, and now it is on my Amazon wish list.

Grease  

Do I need to say anymore?  I’m sure everyone has seen the movie.  I remember seeing this in the theatre as a teenager.  I have the DVD, which I have seen so many times.  We also have the soundtrack on vinyl record/LP.  I love listening to the music, you can’t help but sing along with the music.

Newsies (Disney)  

We have the DVD, so we knew what the play was about before we got there.


12 Angry Men  

This was one of our favourites so far.  Very powerful performance from all the men.  We have the DVD and can’t wait to see it again soon.


Annie

Another musical we have watched before on TV, but do not own on DVD.


Little Shop of Horror

We enjoyed this musical about the talking, carnivorous plant named Audrey 2.  We have the DVD of this and have watched it a few times.

Art

This was not based on a movie.  It was about 3 friends discussing how much Art costs, and how it makes us feel.  The main actor is Donny Most, you might recognize the name.  He played Ralph Malone from the TV Show Happy Days.

Here are photos borrowed from the internet.  This is what Donny Most looks like now.  We were sitting 12 rows from the stage, so we got to see him up close.  The other photo shows him on the Happy Days TV Show.

A few years ago, we had the opportunity to see George Wendt from Cheers on stage in Death of a Salesman.  This play was at the same location as Art above.  We always sit in the same seat, which is 12 rows from the stage.  Here is a current photo of the actor, along with a scene from Death of a Salesman.   We loved this play and he is an amazing actor to watch live.
