Passing Strange closed a week before I was scheduled to see it.
Same thing for Xanadu....(I'd already seen it but) had stage tix for my kids. They were disappointed.
I'm sure there were others.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.
I would have loved to see the Apple Tree but I just didn't have a lot of time to when it was playing! Really wish I had made time now. There are probably others but thats the one thats I wish I had seen the most.
While many of these were panned, I would still like to see them either because they have actors I like or because I want to say "I saw that."

The only one I'm really kicking myself over missing is Side Show. I'd opted to go to school in the DC area instead of a school here in NYC and didn't know about cheap options for transportation up to NYC to see it.

I'm a professional. Whenever something goes wrong on stage, I know how to handle it so no one ever remembers. I flash my %#$&.
