Lost Broadway Theaters
Getting from one see a Broadway show without seeming narrow-minded?
I'm trying to get to see a Broadway: The Lion King with my roommate and her angry because I refuse to see it. I'm not interested in theater and the arts and tried to invite her to my anime convention events and never is because it has no interest. Now when I say no, say I'm so close minded and not worth going anywhere with. Facts: She has never been to a convention anime and I've never been to a Broadway show. I know what a Broadway show looks like and I do not care anything about it, I'd rather go to an opera, symphony, or forced to go to a Western country when you go to Broadway. Any advice to resolve this without losing my friend?
Make a deal with her that you will see the show if you agree to go to an anime convention. We can not push our own interests in other people, but of course you could wish for your company. As the poster mentioned above may only be awed by The Lion King. Julie Taymor really did an incredible job with it. But honestly, if I had a friend tell me it was not worth going anywhere with the most likely would not be my first choice to share anything with. And I have to point out two things. A them, you say you never been to a Broadway show, but you know what you think. If you are basing this on what you think or what you've seen on TV, then not giving a fair chance. Until you're sitting in a theater and the orchestra begins to play or the curtain opens, then you really can not know what experience is like. And two, by posting this under drama and action that will get answers from people like me who believe that life without the theater no life at all.
