Going to the theatre is a very unique experience.
In a theatre, the seats are generally comfortable and the room at a comfortable temperature. You normally have assigned tickets so you know where you'll be sitting in advance.
The atmosphere is always very different, for example, to that of a cinema. It is generally more electric, accepting, responsive and vocal. It is always very easy to be drawn in to the spirit and nature of the audience.
Seeing live performances, especially that of actors in a play, is completely different to watching them on screen. There is a magnetism and skill which are easy to notice. We also feel more comfortable in critiquing their performance.
Live music is always a bonus. The way it rises and swirls around us, progressively getting louder and faster as the show moves on. It always gets the audience in the mood.
The lighting and scenery are always a marvel to behold. It can appear so lifelike. We always marvel at the skill and artistry behind them.
And of course the costumes – especially in some of the big shows – are just gorgeous. The quick changes are always fascinating – the gasps of the audience comments on the speed and 'magic quality' of such a transformation.
