I love the theater! I have been reading and attending theatrical productions for most of my life. I especially love musicals, because they combine two very important aspects of life, the drama of the particular events and music, one of the greatest ways man has created to express emotion and ideas. Over the next few days, I will post my favorite theatrical plays, alphabetically by author or lyricist/song-writer. Feel free to disagree with my selections. I welcome comments on my blog. Look for your favorites and let me know if they are not here.
