Favorite Show You've Never Seen#0

What's your favorite show that you only know through a cast album? Was it performed before you moved to the city, or closed prematurely? Was it mounted before you were born? Mine:

"My Life with Albertine": I don't know why I never got to this, but I didn't see it. Today, the cast album is in constant rotation in my CD player.

the last five years, tick tick boom and hair.

"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell plus i proudly share the title of the shortest member over the age of 10 with wickedrentq!

Once on This Island (Was in high school in Fl)
Parade (It closed before I heard about it)
Children of Eden (Recently heard about it)
Godspell 2000 (Didn't know it was going on)

Now, I make sure I don't miss things

"Do you know what pledge time is, Andrew"? said the PBS Executive. "Yes", Lloyd Webber replied. "My 50th birthday special must be one program that gets done a lot." "No", mused the man from PBS heedlessy. "Not so much. Our Stephen Sondheim Carnegie Hall concert. That's a big one." Spoons, forks and knives seemed suddenly to suspend their motion in horror, all around the table.

Godspell... I've known every word of it since I was little, but never got around to getting the VHS/DVD or seeing it... I really should one of these days.

I have my books and my poetry to protect me...

Parade - fell in love with it hearing a couple of the songs performed in a concert a few years ago. Never saw a staging of the show, but I'd love to.

Into the Woods (I don't count the PBS broadcast)
Sunday in the Park with George
Avenue Q
Jesus Christ, Superstar (again, I don't count the PBS verison)

Some people analyze every detail/ Some people stall when they can't see the trail/ Some people freeze out of fear that they'll fail/ But I keep rollin' on/ Some people can't get success with their art/ Some people never feel love in their heart/ Some people can't tell the two things apart/ But I keep rollin' on

Avenue Q, Wicked, and Hairspray. I love the book "Wicked" and the movie "Hairspray," but I have yet to see them on stage. As for Avenue Q, my puritanical parents will never let me see it anyway.

Kate Music, are you referring to the 2000 revival?

Be glad you didn't see it. It was dreadful.

Even Maya Days, usually splendid, couldn't save it!

Cabaret. Sadly, my Broadway obsession *yes I am a late bloomer, leave me alone okay * began AFTER Cabaret had closed. However the music, the darkness, the loneliness really gets to me! Now all I have to do is wait 10 years for the revival of the revival (...is that even possible??)
