At Universal Studios Hollywood theme park they just put up the various Wicked movie posters up at the guest entrance. Plus the Wicked merchandise store is near opening on the upper lot too. Can't wait to see what is going to be available.
Easy answer: the 3389 performance of A CHORUS LINE. A jaw dropping incredible night in the theatre. That finale was a "once in a lifetime" theatrical experience.
Without digging deep into my collection.....the one that pops into my head is the 3389 record breaking performance of A CHORUS LINE (even signed by Donna McKechnie). That was one of the greatest musical theatre experiences in my lifetime. Plus, I have a MOOSE MURDERS opening night playbill.
THAT SCENE in DEATHTRAP. I've never, nver, never, heard an audience scream and jump out of fright. I saw the show twice and the reaction was always the same. For those who haven't witnessed it...I don't want to spoil it for you.
These are my top 5 I dream of learning one day:1. I WANT TO BE HAPPY TAP NUMBER (No, No, Nanette)2. i HOPE I GET (Chorus Line) - any part of the opening number3. FAVORITE SON (Will Rogers Follies) - you can sit to "dance"4. SIMPLY IRRESISTIBLE (Contact) 5. LET'S RAISE A GLASS TOGETHER (GRAND HOTEL) would love to dance with the hotel staff)
Katherine Hepburn coming down those stairs in her salon as COCO Chanel. The night I saw it the audience wouldn't stop applauding her entrance and Kate even tried to speak her lines but got drowned out with even more applause.
This didn't happen in a show....but, I was in Carol Channings hotel room overseas conversing with her husband Charles Lowe about a problem that had arisen. Well, Ms Channing did not hear or see us and walked into the room in her birthday suit. Boy did I get an eye full. Top that!
I'm very fond of the 2 big dance numbers in "ON YOUR Toes": 'ON YOUR TOES" and 'SLAUGHTER ON TENTH AVENUE". SLAUGHTER is great for going out on walks and/or exercising in your room too.
Someone beat me to this but I would love to see a revival of DEATHTRAP. The twist and turns were endless and it was the first time I have ever heard an audience scream at a particular part of the play. It happened at every performce that I saw.
In all of my theatre going years nothing will ever compare to the 3,389 performance of A CHORUS LINE. It was one jaw dropping moment after another. Of course the finale just put you in theatrical heaven. NOTHING will ever top that performance. Plus an honorable mention: Luciano Pavarotti's final opera performance at the MET. Love flowed from audience to stage and vice-versa.
