I like going to musicals but haven’t been for some time because the current offerings are so boring. It’s just the same shows being recycled. I feel like theatre has followed the same trend as pop movies, just reboots and reruns because they are safe. Original creativity is seen as too high risk. It’s a bit sad when the art has left the arts.
I sort of agree, but at the same time my first experience of theatre was Cats and that is crazy.
I agree and observe that it's been like that too for orchestral performances , ballet and opera for decades now. There aren't even new recordings anymore, just re-releases decade after decade.
I suppose that's one reason why I listen to so many movie soundtracks, it's new music.
@SituationCake @Thornburywitch There's occasional pieces of new brilliance (Aussie musical Fangirls is phenomenal) but yeah, so many repeat runs of the same things at high ticket prices no less
