Theater
I saw a great documentary today called "Show Business." It was filmed over the broadway season of 03-04 and followed 4 shows from rehearsal to Tony night - Taboo, Caroline or Change, Avenue Q, and Wicked. I already knew who won the big Tonys that year and I remembered some of the drama with Rosie O'Donnell and Taboo so I had a little background knowledge and I recognized people throughout the show so that probably helped. I thought it was awesome! We got to see rehearsals, tech stuff, costume design, and they even filmed a conversation from early in the season and right before Tony time between several theater critics. Fun.
Almost every show I've seen was over the last 10 years ... I saw Phantom in middle school, Grease and Crazy for You in high school, and Les Mis, Miss Siagon and Rent (the first 4x) in early college. But then it totally exploded. Probably because I had a job, a way to get to NY, season tickets in Baltimore, and the money to finance my desire to see shows. :)
I probably won't see as much stuff in the next decade which is a little sad. But I guess your 20's are all about getting to do what you want to do once you have the money to do it. I did a lot of traveling this decade as well. (It's nice to be born in a "9" year because then my age kind of aligns with decades.) But now I'm married and we're looking for this elusive house that will be the one we stay in for awhile and we'll start a family ... so this decade looks to be a busy one! Crazy that I'll be 40 by the end of it. That causes a little panic in my tummy. :)
