Ah, thanks to Dr. Nosophorous for reviving this thread!
I don't know why I forgot this one, but I saw a production of Seamus Heaney's "Juno and the Paycock" that was really top notch. If I could only see one play ever, though, it would still be Lear. I saw the NY Shakespeare Festivals version in '72, with James Earl Jones as the King, and some other familiar names like Rene Aubourjenois as Edgar and Raul Julia as Edmund. Netflix has a copy available on DVD now, if anyone wants to check it out. Seeing Aubourjenois and Julia later, in Benson and Addams Family later, it seems like such a waste of talent for them to be doing that material. But I guess one has to pay the bills.

I saw Steve Martin's "Picasso at the Lapine Agile" a few years ago and really enjoyed it.

I've never actually seen a stage play, but if I could I would want to see The Lion King.

 Rick's son and my daughter are both theater majors at Southern Oregon University and they were in that production in a smallish coffee shop in Ashland. His son was Elvis and my daughter was.....um, can't remember her name.  Was lots of fun.I couldn't name a favorite play. The last best play I saw was Fiddler on the Roof in NYC a couple of years ago. The opening rendition of "Tradition" was so amazing and powerful I had chills and goosebumps I couldn't control for a minute.

It's really hard to pick a favorite. I guess my favorite straight play would have to be Jose Rivera's Marisol. As for musicals...oof. I'm gonna have to go with Rent. It may not be the best of the best, but as a teenager of the mid 90's, it will always hold a special place in my heart.

They weren't necessarily "great" but they were a lot fun: in the mid-90s I used to go to a really small, independent theater on Capitol Hill in Seattle called "Theater Schmeater" where they put on live stage versions of "Twilight Zone" episodes complete with a spot on "Rod Serling" to introduce them and hilarious commercial breaks.
