Five Things To Do Before You Die!

If I had any musical or creative talent, I'd love to write a Rosemary's Baby musical. I'm so surprised it hasn't been done before.

I'd like to streak too. I might do it during The Woman in Black. Now that would make the schoolkids scream.

Away from theatre, I'd love to meet the eight main player Bay City Rollers. So far I've only met Les and I've spoken to Duncan on the phone. I have procured a supposedly up to date phone number for Woody, but I'm too scared to phone it.

Direct Chess in the West End

Five theatre things? Hmmm.

- Mount a promenade production of Floyd Collins in some caves.
- Play one of Shakespeare's great romantic heroes (I may be a girl, but I'd be a freakin' awesome Romeo or Benedick).
- Follow Rupert Goold around for a week while he works, preferably in an invited capacity and *not* hiding behind bushes!
- Direct a fantabulously creepy and sexy Hamlet.
- Book a ticket for a play at the Donmar Warehouse *in advance*.

Of those five, I suspect the last one is the least likely. There's a little patch of concrete on Earlham Street that has grooves to match my buttocks now.

1. see a musical in another language !

loving the Canterbury love :)

1. persuade ALW to retire and take up theatre restoration seriously.

2. Produce a show from out of copyright material on a black box set with piano accompaniment only, with a cast of two, that becomes a big fat hit at the Palladium and runs for 20 years so I can live off the income.

3. Meet Stephen Sondheim and bow at his feet.

4. Become Patti Lupone's agent and ensure that she never works again.

5. Buy the Her Majesty's Theatre and make it the home of the National Musical Theatre, offering short runs in rep of classic musicals and causes celebres, whilst using the rehearsal room upstairs as a studio for new writing and experimental workshops.

I didn't realise how therapeutic this thread was going to be!!!

See a show on Broadway

Five things to do before I die:
1. somehow get a full production of Moulin Rouge on a stage.
2. somehow get Angela Lansbury, Chita Rivera, Liza Minelli, Bernadette Peters, Patti LuPone, Christine Ebersole, Audra McDonald, Sutton Foster, Elaine Paige and Stephanie J Block all on the same stage at the same time.
3. found a National Musical Theatre in Oz that lasts for more than 2 years, starting off with a few years of classic programming to build a subscriber base before trying shows like Floyd Collins - what was Peter Cousens thinking.
4. see a Shakespeare in the Park performance in New York.
5. somehow make a career out of my love of theatre :) ... any suggestions?
