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.

The favorite shows I've never seen are determined by the recordings that I listen to, and those change daily/weekly.

I've been on a couple of recent kicks, including, but not limited to:

1) Jane Eyre
2) Nine
3) WILD PARTY (Off-Broadway) - it's been the one most often playing.
4) Bat Boy

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.

I know. My sister lives in Philly (go Eagles!) and saw it. She loved it Sebastian Bach was in it, and I can totally see him.

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.

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...

I wish I could have seen The Apple Tree, but I wasn't born till 1970. I already have my tickets for the Kristin Chenoweth Encores! production.
