Well, I'm going to have to change this slightly for my benefit lol. I'm ashamed I've never seen a production of or heard the music from...
-Phantom (I've heard the big songs, i.e. Music of the Night and Phantom, but not the others) -ANY Sondheim but the West Side Story movie (I'm VERY ashamed of this, altho my friends performed Side by Side, so I am somewhat familiar with his work) -Les Mis -Like any classics (I am ashamed lol. The only classics I've seen are a couple of R&H productions at high schools)
However, in my defense, I am somewhat new to the Broadway scene. I was in a play in April of '03, and have been hooked since. I'm getting more and more exposed everyday! lol
I want to see a production of Into the Woods or let alone get the soundtrack. Crappers, there's another one but I forgot--when I remember I'll postify it.
A show on Broadway. I've only seen tours and regional... ::Hangs head in shame::
"The stage is where I live and come alive and act out all the things that go on in my life. It's not just what I do for a living, it's my shrink and my love affair. No one in my life has ever or ever will kiss me on the mouth like this lover called my relationship with my performance."
dont worry mynameinlights.... i was there for a long time... until last year actually (and i'm 20)... until i decided to splurge and take a trip to nyc :P
Phantom of the Opera! I actually still have the chance to see it but I chose 4 other shows to see instead later this year. A girl's not made of money, you know.
Hairspray, the Producers, a large amount of the classics.
If you limit your choices to what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want, and all that is left is a compromise."- Robert Fritz
I've never seen Rent, POTO, or Urinetown (plus many others.)
David walked into the valley
With a stone clutched in his hand
He was only a boy
But he knew someone must take a stand
There will always be a valley
Always mountains one must scale
There will always be perilous waters
Which someone must sail
-Into the Fire
Scarlet Pimpernel
Now, let me add that I have seen these either on tour or a regional production. So, everything else I regret not seeing and I regret not seeing the shows mentioned above on Broadway/Off-Broadway.
"They're eating her and then they're going to eat me. OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!" -Troll 2
::GASP:: so many people havent seen rent!! go and buy tickets right now!!! hehe yea I have not seen POTO, wicked (but I will in october ), Millie, Aida and so many of the 'classics'... I own a ton of cast recordings and such for almost all the shows I have seen, want to see, or wish I had seen... so im not totaly oblivious to the shows i've missed
Phantom (but I do want to see it, I sidelined it for other shows becasue I'll be able to see it again somewhere) I want to see the original casts of other shows first if I have to choose.
"Nothing is an accident, We are free to have it all, We are what we want to be, It's in ourselves to rise or fall!!" - "Fortune Favors the Brave" from Aida - the love that never died
Of all things I've had opportunity to see, I haven't missed anything that I really wanted to see. There are many, many shows I never had opportunity to see that I regret never having seen. That's much too long a list. Of shows I've missed that were playing while I was in NYC, I made the conscious decision to skip Cats and POTO. No regrets there. I saw POTO on tour and that was good enough for me.
Gingerbread houses along golden, frothy canals. Like Venice... only different?
