Now that's rude.
I walked out only once and you can "Blame It On My Youth." I was 21 andhad been listening to the OBC album of Chorus Line since I was 17. I imagined "I Can Do That" with Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire and Chita Rivera all roled up into one.

Buy, rent or steal it! But get it.

Follies: OBC
-As much as I enjoy hearing "I'm Still Here" by anyone willing to try it, Yvonne DeCarlo is the definitive Carlotta.
-Barbara Cook is wonderful as Sally but I still prefer Dorothy Collins' "Losing My Mind."
-and Ethel Shutta almost swings "Broadway Baby" and to me that's a good thing!
Gypsy: OBC with the 1989 Revival a distant second.
-Ethel Merman just owns Mama Rose. If you prefer a more dramatic actor driven performance than I would go with Tyne Da
