2010 in Theatre

I’ve linked if I reviewed the play at the time I saw it, and wrote a little ditty if I didn’t.

The Little Dog Laughed

The Misanthrope 

iGod
This was a student production at my university, written and directed by one of my childhood friends. It wasn’t all it could be, but it had an interesting premise. The “iGod” was a modern man, and the people who ‘believed’ in him. It was a play on cults and religion.

The Libertine
This was another student production, but it was more lavish. It was absolutely hilarious, and I thought all my friends did spectacularly. If I hadn’t gone to see it on its last night, I would’ve seen it twice. 

Wicked
I had never seen Wicked, despite wanting to. The circumstances never seem to match up, for some reason. The night I went to see this I happened to be in Victoria near curtain time, and I poked my head into the box office and asked if they had any tickets left. They did, and I got a great seat for what was a wonderful show. I wish I’d seen it with the original Broadway cast, though.

Les Miserables*
I had seen Les Mes before. I was on Shaftesbury Ave with not much to do the night before I was flying out, so I decided to rewatch it. Wasn’t as good as the first time I saw it, but definitely had some singers that give me goosebumps.

Tap Dogs
The reason I went was pretty simple: Adam Garcia plus dancing. I almost missed the show, because I wasn’t in London for the large bulk of it, but I’m glad I didn’t. It was absolutely mesmerizing. I really, really loved.
