"Little Dog is actually a good (not great) play. Sounds like you saw a bad production of it. (I like the set, if there is an actual door somewhere).<br /><br />I assume you saw the musical adaptation of Spring Awakening. The (non-musical) play is very good but no one does it. The musical adaptation is hard to like even when done well (my opinion). It dumbs down the play, the music is derivative and not diverse enough to carry a stage piece. In the production I saw the actors had seen Rent too often. (They might have been good if they were actually doing Rent). It is also a tough musical to do in a small venue.Harpers Keeperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02063887885657898897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5185139.post-85197913408795726472012-10-14T11:14:39.368-04:002012-10-14T11:14:39.368-04:00Seeing bad theater just makes one appreciate good ...Seeing bad theater just makes one appreciate good theater...cbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07012048318668422826noreply@blogger.com
