i was totally mesmerized when i saw my first theatrical play at ps 75. the colors, the lights, the performance, the total atmosphere. those strong feelings for the stage have worn down to a nub over the past 150 years.
sadly for me even, "our town" leaves me cool and certainly the thought of some musical extravaganza like cats can cause my brain to shrink and die. ok, occasionally i see a show that makes an impression. in my present residential area i recommend howard county communinty college performances. i don't think i've ever been disappointed by their professional productions.
careful selection of broadway or off-broadway shows can yield favorable memories although they may be a bit pricey for someone like me who paid $1,20 a ticket (or something) of his father's money in olden times.

ok, maybe, ""our town", makes me just a bit emotional.
