84BDsop Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 As I said re 95 Madison, any list that does not have 16 on it is not worth it. 06 a #### close 2nd for me. Saw it a lot in California. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePlanets Posted January 18, 2018 Author Share Posted January 18, 2018 I have gone back and reviewed a bunch of Academy shows and my choice hands down is... 2016 Drum Corpse Bride. I have to admit when I read the show announcement and read about it in the early season I gave it a big eye roll. A quirky zombie show with a piece I have heard just about every middle school band play. But what I saw at prelims in the theater was sheer beauty and a well designed show. I couldn't help but root for it over Madison and Boston. That being said just about every Academy show that I have seen has been enjoyable... particularly their more recent shows. I think they have found their own little Niche with show themes that are recognizable, entertaining, and easy for the audience and MMs to attach themselves to. I am really looking forward to what they come up with for 2018! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeN Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Favorites - Drum Corpse Bride (2016) - this show had a little bit of everything, and did a spectacular job of commanding the field from the moment they started. My personal highlight was the xylophone solo. Not so Favorites - None. Honestly, Academy just doesn't show up on my radar every year. Their shows are nice, non-threatening and don't make a lot of waves. I'd like to see them "grow up" programmatically a bit, but they're fine either way.

losnickes Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Favorites: 1. 2014: “Vanity Fair” 2. 2016: “Drum Corpse Bride” 3. 2012: “Left of Spring” 4. 2011: “(RE)” 5. 2010: “Strangers in Paradise” Least Favorites: The Academy hasn’t really done a show I didn’t like. But if I had to pick one that didn’t “wow” me, I guess I’d have to go with 2008’s “Vienna Nights.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
