it bugs me that my dad says he's taking me to see "that one play" because he doesn't want to admit he's going to see a musical. that really pisses me off.

Company (recent revival with Esparza is my favorite) Gypsy (LuPone revival) Sweeney Todd (LuPone revival) Spring Awakening (you'll probably really like this one based on your current favorites.) [title of show] The Last 5 Years (my absolute favorite!) A Chorus Line (recent revival)

yea, Angela does a very clear "rear" and Patti's sounds more like "royal". and it would be very unlike Sondheim to reuse a word like that. so i guess i was wrong. sorry, ghostlight. sorry, musicaldudepeter.

i don't have a libretto, but i'm fairly sure it's "royal" both times.

not to be a prick, but it's "royal admiral". she's just using a british accent when she says it.

Patti LuPone is my favorite, but i really like Elena Rogers in the OLC, so glad she's going to reprise the role.

my favorite Hammerstein lyrics: "Climb every mountain Ford every stream Follow every rainbow Till you find your dream A dream that will need All the love you can give Every day of your life For as long as you live" -Sound of Music "Dat's de ol' man dat I'd like to be! What does he care if de world's got troubles? What does he care if de land ain't free? Ol' man river, Dat ol' man river He mus'know sumpin' But don't say nuthin', He jes'keeps rollin' He keeps on rollin' along." -Showboat

Nancy and Bill (Oliver!) Angel and Collins (Rent)

i am! true, my father used to bring us out community productions of Peter Pan or Joseph once in a while but it was more about getting the kids to shut up more than exposing us to art. i was the only one to catch on and really seek out theater. i think my dad sparked it, i (alone) helped my interest survive (for a good 8 years or so) until my best friend came along and really poured on the lighter fluid.

i like a lot of the ones that have already been said like: LuPone/ALW Fosse/Verdon Fosse/Reinkin and i'd like to add Fosse/Vereen Susan Blackwell/Hunter Bell LuPone/Patinkin Bernadette Peters/LuPone Bernadette Peters/Patinkin

"They did Sweeney Todd a few years ago at Ravinia and I think Pirelli was played by a woman. Has anyone ever heard of such a thing?" yea, 2005 John Doyle revival pirelli was played by Donna Lynne Champlin. but in other productions (original b'way, original london, etc.) the role was played by a man.

(this kind of feels like an AA meeting with everyone starting out with their age, haha.) i'm 14 (there i go) and i think the reason i like older shows so much more is because those are the ones i've always been watching at home. what i watched was not influenced by what had a current production so much as which library VHS was next in line on the shelf. what i noticed in this thread is: all the younger fans standing up for their tastes announce Sondheim as old. he may have written the shows l...

pretty much all of The Last Five years, but especially "The Next Ten Minutes", how the beginning and end line up so seamlessly, and "Goodbye Until Tomorrow/I Could Never Rescue You". just amazing.

i do!

Best Little Whorehouse in Texas- just seems... vulgar.

"that guy in the red shirt in the third row was really hot!" "hunter, that guy was straight" "so is spaghetti, until you get it all hot and wet." - [title of show]

Sweeney - Sweeney Todd Hunter - [tos] Che - Evita Mr. Bumble - Oliver! Javert - Les Mis Mark - Rent Phantom - POTO ... too bad i'm not a guy. well, drag revivals are always an option, right? on the more probable side: Clara - The Light in the Piazza Nancy - Oliver! Evita - Evita Lois Lane - Kiss Me Kate Fräulein Schneider - Cabaret pretty much any Sherie Renee Scott role pretty much any Anne Miller role Meg - POTO

maggie- (enter stage left) it's okay, danny. we'll stick together. anyway, we're done with small minded middle schoolers now. high school has to be better, right?

Patti LuPone, of course. then Brian Stoke Mitchell, Victoria Clark,Jesse Martin,Laura Benanti, Michael Cerveris, Raul Esparza, Heather Laws, etc. [tos] cast, anyone? Hiedi Blickenstaff? Hunter Bell?

(as to the original question) the last production only ran for 17 performances not because of the show itself, but because of timing. obviously that production had lots of potential, it just wasn't the right time for a b'way revival of any show.
