I guess you never saw the play.#4: bugaboo (bugaboo) on Jan 17, 2011

moola me!#6: R. Peter Nessen (Itsbetterleftsaid) on Jan 18, 2011
I thought it was "The Sound of Music." Climb Every Mountain!#7: Angela Claire Hanes (hanesangie) on Jan 18, 2011
I haven't seen the play, but I've heard of it.#8: Gary Webster (glwebste) on Jan 18, 2011
I've read the play, wouldn't do it on a bet actually. Some "great plays" seem a bit obscure or metaphysical for even an above average audience... I thought about Sound of Music, too!#9: Joel Lynn (furface1) on Jan 18, 2011
I thought the same as bugaboo, and although I saw the play in high school 40 years ago or so I don't remember the story.#10: Trish (tryingmysoul) on Jan 18, 2011
I thought they were standing on buildings.#11: JoDeen Mozena (ozymoe) on Jan 19, 2011 [SPOILER]

I didn't get it and I was IN it in high school. However, knowing what it is, the illustration is right on. So many of these are movies, as well (including this one) that I was seeing this is the 1976 King Kong with Jeff Bridges and Jessica Lange on opposite WTC towers.#13: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Jan 19, 2011
I would back JoDeen on The Fantasticks call and agree with her about the transcendental nature of the play. But, like Gary, I wouldn't do it on a bet.
Show biz trivia: the song "Love And Marriage," which was the theme of "Married...With Children," was written for a 50s TV musical version of the play starring Frank Sinatra as the Stage Manager/narrator.
I'm hating myself for spewing all this theater noise. Blame Brian; he started this.
love & marriage was the first song i memorized, as a child, from the radio#14: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Jan 19, 2011
I'm lovin this. It is great hearing everyone's stories.#15: Robert Shields (skweedle) on Jan 20, 2011
I've gotta say: It's an institute you can't disparage.#16: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Jan 20, 2011 [SPOILER]

Thanks for the link, Jota. I had seen that play when I was young... too young to appreciate it's depth. Very chilling.#19: Jota (jota) on Jan 27, 2011
Nice puzzle.
;-)#20: Spot (Pspaughtamus) on Jul 22, 2020
I'm scared, my first thought was "Our Town". I saw a movie adaptation of the play many moons ago, I'm pretty sure it was this one:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081290/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_3 . I thought the minimalism was just for that adaptation, I didn't realize it was a scripted thing.
