To commemorate another year of some truly amazing theater, we've been asking our members to reflect on their own Year In Theater and share their most memorable experiences.
One Show-Score leaderboard member, TheaterBuff, did just that: with an amazing poem that chronicles her unforgettable #YearInTheater! We think her poem is the perfect example of the passion our community has for theater. Take a look for yourself!
2016 Random Theater Highlights
The theater was stellar in two thousand sixteen
Please stay here a while to see what I mean.
I re-sampled the pathos and staggering joys
Of masterful Fugard’s great "'Harold'…and the Boys".
In "Indecent" I was buried under the ashes
In "American Psycho", I lost track of slashes
Spent six hours watching the Gabriel plays
Such appealing a-peeling deserves highest praise
The new "Old Hats" thrilled with the music of Shaina
Clever lyrics revealed her very big brain-a
There was "The Dead" and "Maestro" and "Marjorie Prime"
And "A Long Day’s Journey"…if you could find the time.
And the genius of Harnick in "Fiddler" revived
Again in "She Loves Me", though slightly contrived
Then far out in Brooklyn, I found my true bliss
While watching wild Wilde in "The Judas Kiss".
And all the king Henrys and a fey Richard, too (II !)
Those RSC people know just what to do.
Will I name a favorite? Ok…you can bet-cha
‘Twas the soulful and pow’rful "Marie and Rosetta"
I liked "Privacy", "Oslo", "Ironbound", and more
And kept track of it all, thanks to Show-Score.
With the help of reviews of shows right and shows wrong
This rounding-up poem came out ever-so long.
