[+] spoiler: Back in 1989 (just looked it up), I was an extra in a production of Aida that played at the SkyDome (now the Rogers Centre - where the Jays play). For two nights, I led a group of 20 Egyptian soldiers onto the stage where we stood for 40 minutes, not far from the camels. Definitely one of the strangest things I've ever done!

I would've started an "Official Broadway and Musical Theater Thread" if I wasn't solely talking to myself there.
