Thanks for posting this. This reminds me of how much I miss going to the live theater. I saw Phillip Glass many years ago. I just have to make it happen, and take a chance that the performance will be appealing.
I’m too cheap to buy a ticket and I don’t like driving to San Francisco at all, especially not at night.
Maybe next year, I’ll just do it, or take an Uber.
The quality of a live performance is often impossible to fully communicate by recordings, the size of that place, for one. You have to be there to feel the vibrations all around you.
I grew up in New York and my parents took me to Broadway. I developed a great love of live theater. nothing like it.
Live theater peaked for me with The Persecution and Assassination of Jean-Paul Marat as Performed by the Inmates of the Asylum of Charenton Under the Direction of the Marquis de Sade.
That’s really the title. It got made into a movie, but the experience of being in the audience during a live performance was unique.
That’s quite a title. I know the name of Jean Paul Marat only because folk singer Judy Collins sang a song about him.
I heard the song some 40 years ago.
theaters usually have sunday matinees
That’s right.
Maybe a Matinee showing would provide better parking.
I have a lousy right foot, and don’t want to walk a quarter mile to the theater if I don’t have to.
SF parking is worse than the ticket price Have been to I think The Curran. Paid 45 to park in hotel garage all the other ones filled.
No dog or parrot in this, but is this nothing more than click bait? Why not post a little more info on your title and summary?
Fox is a live staging of Rent this month.
Glenda Jackson was fantastic as Charlotte Corday.
In the live version, the Marquis sits in the middle of the actual audience and gives direction to the stage. Toward the end of the play, banners and ribbons came flying out of the stage and over the audience.
The play got me interested in Marat and the French Revolution. He had a skin condition relieved by sitting in an oatmeal bath and he is pictured thus in paintings.
