Some of my past favorites that I surely wouldn't mind seeing again:Sherry (a studio album was released a bit ago with Nathan Lane and Carol Burnett)Stop the World I Want to Get Off and Roar of the Greasepaint The Smell of the Crowd (both starring the amazing Anthony NewleyOliver
Thou Shalt Not - would have left before intermission if I hadn't been stuck in the center of the row! Best overheard line from a lady also walking out at intermission: "i guess even Stroman is allowed a bad day"
Saw this last week and thought it to be very well done, however, I also thought that Parson's was the weak link as part of an overall extraordinary cast.
Speaking of DiLella, there are few people who annoy me more!! When he gets airtime, I either mute the TV or just switch channels. Get rid of him and just have Cote take over his spot.
Debbie Reynolds was truly one of a kind. Whenever I hear Good Morning it still puts a smile on my face. Cannot believe that within a week both she and George Irving have passed, I too was lucky enough to see them both on Broadway in Irene. RIP.
The first time I ever saw a show twice was because I was so taken by Tammy Grimes - High Spirits. To this day I still regularly listen to Home Sweet Heaven and You'd Better Love Me (also has one of my favorite overtures!).RIP
I usually go along and generally don't mind it. The only time I needed to search around for a companion was when I was the lottery for Hamilton last week and had bought 2 tickets - that was certainly not hard to find someone to attend with me!

OBCR Overtures are a playlist on my iPhone and never get tired of listening to them!
What a coincidence with this posting - listened to the OBCR this morning on the way in to work! Saw the show way back and II remember thoroughly enjoying it.
Four rows back in the mezz are still great seats, even slightly to the side. I think you would be happier there than that far back in the orchestra. Remember, it's a dance show and you get a better perspective from the mezz.
I know I'm going to get a bit of heat from this one but I don't recall enjoying a number more in recent years than "It's a Musical" from Something Rotten! Too new??
