Joint effort from me and Steve:

1: Everybody being dressed and in character. Including the ushers. Like the ride attendants at Disneyland.

2: Steve: Something by the reduced shakespeare company. They were funny. Me: Dunno. Equus was quite good. Jerry Springer: The opera was hilarious.

3: Uh, no, save it for panto. It detracts from the experience because it almost shatters the illusion and immersion if Dave from Swansea suddenly gets involved in Macbeth.

4: Wtf has this got to do with theatre? Can you narrow it down at all?

5: You mean in fear or what? Don't understand the question really. Film and TV are vastly different from each other, and neither have much of a physical or emotional effect. It's the music that makes it emotional for the most part, and music itself doesn't require a visual to be effective. The best movies and tv shows are the ones that have their soundtrack sorted, generally.

6: Yay, mostly. Except band tie-ins, like Mamma Mia and Camp Rock and that eurovision satire one. The Queen one was entertaining but hardly high art. Blues Brothers was awesome.
