And loud! But watching it on TV really did bring out the things I liked about it. In a lot of ways, it's a very traditional coming of age story. <br /><br />But I know what you mean about stretching your comfort zone. When I get a chance to go to New York, I always want to see what's new on Broadway. <br /><br />And then I read about all sorts of interesting sounding plays off Broadway I wish I'd seen. And every year, there are a few Broadway shows I could have skipped.<br /><br />If I lived in New York, I'd buy the cheap tickets and see everything!Estherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16076517542540421210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1912669500934497251.post-28932277081989981152010-01-20T11:55:04.970-05:002010-01-20T11:55:04.970-05:00You know, I never saw "Passing Strange" ...You know, I never saw "Passing Strange" when it was on Broadway. I didn't really know what it was about, and the only clips I saw were of some big guy I'd never heard of before wearing a porkpie hat and yellow sunglasses. So I skipped it. But we watched it on PBS this weekend, and I really enjoyed it and I'm sorry I missed it on Broadway. It makes me wonder if I should stretch my theater comfort zone a bit.Jeffhttp://www.tinmanic.comnoreply@blogger.com
