Local or Not

A Bit of Me(Me) is hosted by Danielle of There's a Book.

Today's topic is about Broadway musicals and theater?  I've seen two Broadway shows in my life (and neither time did I pay for them - otherwise, I might not have seen any).  The first was when a friend of mine invited me to see Annie back in 8th grade.  I love the songs and the story of this one, so it was a lot of fun for me. Not that I actually remember much from it, though.  Still, I kept the program somewhere, so I must have enjoyed it.  

The second was Phantom of the Opera, which I saw locally.  My church youth organization somehow managed to take a group of us up to see this when I was in high school.  Mind you, we were located pretty far back and to the side.  But, since I also adore the music to this one, it was a fabulous experience for me.

My husband and I prefer to see local theater, mostly because it's cheap and, well, local.  While some of the shows at our favorite outdoor theater are better than others, it's always a fun experience to go.  Just yesterday, we attempted to buy tickets to a local showing of The Scarlett Pimpernel.  Unfortunately, all of the performances are sold out - weeks in advance.  Needless to say, whatever kind of talent they have, local or not, we like to see it anyway.

What about you?
