THE SHOW MUST GO ON! (Oh, The Plays I've Seen--updated list)

An opportunity this past weekend to catch a terrific Syracuse performance by the touring company of Mean Girls means it's high time to update my list of the plays I've seen.

As I wrote in a separate post in 2020: "After finally experiencing my first-ever play on Broadway in 2019, I hoped to make that an annual event. The pandemic deferred that plan, but Broadway will return, and I will return to it." I look forward to adding more plays to this list...someday.

As a companion to my ongoing Virtual Ticket Stub Gallery of pop performers I've seen in live concerts, and a follow-up to my love letter to theater, this list will attempt to make note of every live play I've ever seen. The limits of memory place an even greater restriction on this than on my concert-goin' resumé recreation, but I'll continue to update this list as both sudden recollection and (I hope) new live theater experiences dictate.

This list does not differentiate between musicals and dramatic plays, nor does it care if the setting was Broadway, off-Broadway, the Apollo Victoria Theatre in London, Syracuse Stage, community theater, college campuses, high schools, middle schools, elementary schools, or Shakespeare in the park. As always: the play's the thing.
