Since my early teens, it's been a goal to see a live production/staging of every major Sondheim (music and lyrics) musical. With the recent Assassins concert at Encores!, I realized that I've finally accomplished this goal. I thought it would be fun if we could all post our lists of professional Sondheim productions that we've seen over the years, obviously, some members will have endlessly long lists, including the legendary original productions, which is always fun to read.
The criteria is Broadway, Off-Broadway, national tour, regional, and staged concerts such as Encores!, the Philharmonic, and Ravinia. I'm not counting professional videos, bootlegs, school, or community theater productions, as I've seen one community theater production of Company that copied the Doyle production and I've tried erasing it from my memory.
Excluded are Saturday Night and The Frogs, as these are very rarely produced, but feel free to include them in the optional section if you've seen them.
