No, they're not really my thing. Not sure what else there is to say about it...
I did once enjoy a performance of 'Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead' but mostly because I <3 the film and the dialogue made up for watching it in play form.

Yes, usually. 
I like non-musical plays better than musicals,. though. A musical has to be pretty amazing for me to like it, something like "Les Miserables" or "Miss Saigon." I am not a fan of the campy musicals like "Oklahoma" or "Grease", etc.

I haven't really been to any, but I doubt I would enjoy a play or regular musical. I think I would enjoy seeing an Opera though, I've seen a few on TV and there were amazing.
I'm trying to get a friend to agree to go with me to one.

I live next to a theatre house so, yeah, I've seen pretty much all they've shown. Plays, musicals, operas, you name it, I've seen it. And enjoyed every second of it

It would be hard to find a musical I didn't like and I love plays but local theatres can be a total hit or miss. When it's shit it's almost painful but when it's good I can't think of many better ways to spend a couple of hours. My least favourite form of performance art is dance, everything else is on my way-cool list.

The experience, visual and aural, is even more spectacular live.
Just don't start off with Wagner. These are great 'first operas'. Enjoy.

I love plays. I used to be in them, as well. I love a good musical, too, but I don't necessarily like listening to showtunes for their own sake anymore. I also enjoy movie musicals. Live theatre is exciting and more immediate, and you really get to appreciate the level of talent that some people are blessed with.
My main problem with theatre is that it's too expensive. It becomes an elitist thing, where it should be accessible to all.
As a footnote, my friend's obssession with Wicked is enough to turn me off musicals forever.

I love both! Of course I've also done a fair amount of acting myself. There might be some kind of correlation there.

Hate 'em.
Intellectually, they have my utmost respect. Experientially, I get caught in the trap of knowing that I made the effort to show up and fork out cash to watch them entertain me, and it makes me not feel entertained.

Oh it definatly depends.
Some plays/musicals I really enjoyed. Most I didn't like.
All the musicals I enjoyed have been rather sexy or suggestive musicals.
Cats was great too.
No I'm not a furry.
...Or am I?
I like tails!

I love both. I just went to Fiddler On the Roof two nights ago. And I just saw The Importance of Being Earnest just a while ago. Both were great. I like having a chance to see several productions of the same thing to see how differently they cast it and make the set. It never gets old. Rogers and Hammerstein isn't my favourite, but I don't hate it either.

i enjoy plays, but i have not seen a whole lot of them. i don't really enjoy most musicals.
i tend to like more modern plays. i am not a big fan of shakespeare.
and i really dislike plays that are performed without any props or sets, i think they are called black box plays. when i see a play, i want it to have elaborate sets overflowing with details, too many details, like visual overload.
set design is very interesting to me, maybe more interesting than the actual play.
