Ways to Experience the Classics

There are times we discover a show to only find the sad truth that it has not run in twenty plus years so how can we enjoy classic shows, since time travel has yet to be invented. Here are a few ideas


Check Your Civic Theater or Local High School :  Sometimes Broadway revivals are not enough, or the show you want to see has no revival or has any plans to be revived in the near future,  but schools and civic theaters are always looking for a variety of shows to perform speaking of which...


Encourage Your Local Theater or High School to Perform A Classic Show : If you are in a position to put on shows, maybe a classic is what you need to switch things up, besides many are either public domain or are easier to perform then other shows.


Find a Film Adaptation:  There are many classic film musicals that are just as if not more popular then their stage counterparts, you could even have a classic musical library of adaptions or live taping of shows


Listen to the Soundtrack:  Definitely add it to your regular playlists, find your favorites, and share it with fellow theater fans you know, you may even introduce them to a new favorite of theirs.


Read Up On the History of Your Favorites: Sometimes what brings life to a classic you have enjoyed and listened to over and over, maybe even seen, is reading up on the writing process, how it was written, the writer's other works, and  the writer themselves.

Until next time I hope your day is a showstopper
