Awesome, thanks blaxx.

Okay, so I have a ticket for the closing performance tomorrow at 3pm, and I've never seen it before. I don't plan on ordering any food or drinks or anything, so should I just show up to the theatre as I would for a regular show? A half-hour or so before curtain is usually what I strive for. Thanks for the help!

Hello Bostonians! (if you're out there). I know this is a long shot, but a play I've written is being produced at Emerson College's Cabaret, a small black box on Boylston Street. It's called, "An Evening With Sarah Pettyfer." It's about, you guessed it, Sarah Pettyfer, who was once the toast of the town. Her star has since fallen and she's reduced to doing her act in crummy apartments and basement theaters around the city. In her little show she tells the story of her dear late friends, Howar...

I'm such an Inge fanatic, so I think I'd probably have to go see the original production of Picnic.

100% yes. She has an electrifying stage presence and a killer voice.

I hate to be the person that calls Meryl Streep's age into question, but I really think she's too old for Desiree. But fifteen years ago she would have been a revelation to say the least.

I just laughed out loud. Thank you, Jordan.

Dear lord, is this really necessary? I need a good twenty years or so before I'm interested in seeing this again.

I've seen MIss. Flannery done in drag in Thoroughly Modern Millie. And although it never came to fruition, Billy Porter auditioned for the 2002 Into the Woods revival for the role of The Witch after having auditioned for The Baker. I'm not sure if they intended to have him play the role as a woman or man, but either way it fascinates me!

That Tony performance of Anything Goes was one of my first Broadway obsessions at a really young age. It catapulted me into theatre. And would it be heretical of me to say that I much prefer the '88 choreography over Kathleen Marshall's? The 2011 choreo just seemed sort of....bloated to me. But then again I never saw it live so I can't judge.

I think Patti was supposed to star as Gozer in the musical adaptation of Ghostbusters. Nothing ever came of it though.

In "Just You Wait" from My Fair Lady, right before Eliza sings, "One day I'll be famous..." the strings have a little solo that sounds exactly like when Fantine sings, "But the tigers come at night..."

Wow! I would pay full-price to see this...gotta start saving now. Her voice surely isn't what it used to be, but the presence she commands onstage is nothing short of remarkable. How exciting to see her in a show with songs tailored to her voice as it is now!

How sad. I was so looking forward to having Melissa Errico's Clara preserved on CD. She sounded absolutely stunning live. I love Rebecca Luker's voice, but Errico's is just so much more unique. I hope Melissa is okay One of my favorite moments from Passion:

I'm gonna try to only list ones that haven't been mentioned already: Barbara Cook "Will He Like Me?" - She Loves Me Barbara Cook "Who Are You Now" - Funny Girl (from her first live at Carnegie Halle CD) Liza Minnelli "Sing Happy" - Flora, The Red Menace Cleo Laine "Anyone Can Whistle" - Anyone Can Whistle Angela Lansbury "Kiss Her Now" - Dear World Audra Mcdonald "The Glamorous Life" - A Little Night Music (movie) And pretty much everything Kelli O'Hara has ever sung :)
