John Belushi as Tvye
(He actually said he wanted to do that 10 years from 1982, the year he died 
)

I think you should have written ...
"Actors who are dead who you would have liked to HAVE seen on Broadway."
... because improper sentence structure and an unfamiliarity with tense forms makes you look stupid, illiterate and ignorant.

From the example of John Bleushi, I think the OP wants us to answer with people who are dead, so will never play Broadway, but we wish they would have.

Posted: 9/15/08 at 12:17amIt seems like one of the most legendary performances ever was Laurette Taylor in the Glass Menagerie, so even though that doesn't seem to be the original poster's idea for the thread, that's my vote.

Of course the classics, but I'd also love to see Jason Raize. He was the original Simba in the Lion King, and just as beautiful as his voice: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7AeTFYsBgc
Also, I'd love to see Gene Kelly. I have a bit of a thing for his movies.

Posted: 9/15/08 at 8:40pmI'm with Cali, my vote is Laurette Taylor. Her performance in The Glass Menagerie from all accounts is the best there has ever been. I would loved to have seen it!
