Urinetown for sure. Amazing... I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

Cabaret....more than any other show.

The broadway production of A CHORUS LINE

[jmnpublications]

Posted: 9/27/04 at 1:25pm

"The Gin Game" with Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy - electric

"A Chorus Line" with the original Broadway cast - just thinking about Donna McKechnie's "Music and the Mirror" still gives me chills

"The Elephant Man" - what power from such simplicity

"Kiss Me, Kate," the PBS Great Performance of the 2000 Broadway revival - the first time I had ever seen this show done RIGHT, plus amazing performances by Rachel York and Brent Barrett - definitive, it never needs to be done again

"The Producers" on tour with Brad Oscar - I could not believe the brilliance of Susan Stroman's staging, which turned a cornball tribute to political incorrectness into a laugh riot

[say what?]

Posted: 9/27/04 at 1:56pm

Long Day's Journey Into Night [2003 Revival] like, woah.

[EVIE]

Posted: 9/27/04 at 3:04pm

Les Miz and Rent are pretty much always my "WOWS". JCS also envoked some pretty heavy "WOWS" from me, but it was because Eric Kunze was the most gorgeous man I'd seen in a looooong time!! =0)

[little_sally]

Posted: 9/27/04 at 3:26pm

Caroline, or Change (wasn't expecting it to be that amazing)
Proof
Ragtime

and although I never saw Parade, the cast recording really took me by surprise, same goes for Taboo

[BroadwayDiva]

Posted: 9/27/04 at 4:28pm

Cabaret
RENT
JCS
Pippin

And I'm sure if I actually saw TABOO (I'm still pissed it closed), it would be a WOW that was amazing! show.

MOVIN' OUT!!! It's the most amazing show I have ever seen! I left the theater completely speachless!! As I was watching the show I seriously felt like I was watching the 27 most talented people in the world.....it was that good. After the show my mom and I waited outside for autographs, and when the stars came out I was so excited I couldn't talk!! The show was so great, and I can't wait to go back again!!!

The brief but classic train sequence during the "She's a Nut" number in "On the Twentieth Century." Now that was pure magic!!!!!! Robin Wagner's set designs need to be in the Smithsonian.

Wicked-Even though I loved "Defying Gravity", the power of "No Good Deed" shook me. I think that "No Good Deed" is an amazing performance and that it is often overlooked. Idina is just a powerhouse no matter what!

[DickonDefysGravity]

Posted: 9/28/04 at 2:17pm

WICKED and MILLIE!!!

[WiCkEDrOcKS]

Posted: 9/28/04 at 2:45pm

Wicked- DEFYING GRAVITY is an amazing song and a great scene...the must see scene on Broadway right now. It will become as prestigious and praised as the chandelier (sp) in TPOTO. Then again, most of Elphabas songs in that show are absolutley spine-tingling.

Gypsy- Bernadette Peters' performance was flawless. She was amazing and made me go back two more times. Bernadette's ROSES TURN was chilling.
