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??)
"This is what I trained to do, and this is what I love about theater. What I love about being an actress is being able to really look into myself and understand another human being. And out my own self, to shape and form and fashion a real human being--and to present that in such a way that people see something of themselves or their own understanding in that human being."
--Phylicia Rashad
I'm taking this thread to mean a show that I've never seen a single production of, as opposed to shows that I've seen in some sort of revival.
With this disclaimer, I submit:
THE GRASS HARP. It's such an amazing score, I love every second of it. I'm sure it's a case of the cast recording being better than the show itself, but I'd still love to see those songs come to life on a stage.
And you think of all of the things you've seen, and you wish that you could live in between ,and you're back again only different than before...

Really, melissa errico fan? I heard the JCS revival was amazing. Although, that's from people who saw the tour and not the original cast. I would have loved to have seen it, but it was the same time as my college graduation. I do have the PBS movie, and I absolutely love, though I could do without Jerome Pradon and Rene Castle.
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
Uh-uh, I need to buy. I have the OBC, and I have "Unusual Way" as sung by Laura Benanti -- it was stuck in my head forever. I would start singing it on the N train. Literally.
I wish I could have seen Amour. I'm sure many people feel the same way since it only ran 7 performances. The "gossip" on the show was surprisingly good and I had hoped to catch it.
"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
i was so excited they did a cast recording of AMOUR that i bought it. but to me it's very so so. gets a bit annoying on repeated listenings. (wanna buy it? ha)
BABY!!! I'm absolutely obsessed beyond belief, and pray I'll get to see it someday. I would've given anything to see the semi- recent Papermill re- mounting with Norm Lewis, Carolee Carmello, Michael Rupert... *cries* Elegies: A Song Cycle. Damn. Merrily We Roll Along. One of my favorite shows of all time... Roundabout should seriously consider...
