I've seen Once twice, such a great modern musical.

I especially love how it's a small, personal story, rather than being some grand epic tale like so many playwrights and artists think they have to tell, in the musical theater format.
Ive never even heard of it

Course Im stuck in the old days

I'll have to look it up

Back in my single days I would go to Houstons Theater in the Round to see lots of musicals

This was amazing cause many times you would have actors standing right beside you singing or delivering their lines

I played Curly in our school's production many many years ago.

My favorite song from Once, unsurprisingly it's the ballad.  Just a beautiful song and so poignant in the moment.

I'm not so big into musicals. They're just popular on stage, and since I'm equally mediocre on a lot of instruments, I get opportunities. 
"Once" was really a lot of fun! Great cast, great musicians. Lots of work since the music had to be memorized (couldn't bring stands on stage). I played the bank manager. I sang one song "Abandoned in Bandon", while playing acoustic guitar. Perfect, since my character was supposed to be a lousy singer.

About 10 years ago, at the HS where I taught, our Drama department put on a production of The Three Musketeers (not a musical). There were some innovations. D'Artagnan's servant being his sister who stole away from home to join him was one. Another was that part of the audience was onstage, and the action (as in swordfights) took place around those onstage spectators, including my esposita and me.

I went to see the play 1776 at Houstons Arena Theater in the round and had pretty good seats

A number of times actors standing behind me would be having conversations with actors on stage in front of me 

It really made you feel a part of history
