I have been fortunate enough to see a couple of show and ballet.. say Phantom of the Opera twice, once with original cast and again when they brought it back to the Pantages. I saw a scaled down version of South Pacific, I've seen a beautiful ballet of Romeo and Juliet...that one haunted my memories for years. I've seen the Lion King and a couple other smaller shows.
There is just something about the experience of a live performance, music, lighting..I just love it!
