amen to Dench and Beechman in anything. All of Chita Rivera, Barbara Cook, Julie Andrews, Ethel Merman, and Angela Lansbury's big roles live. Preston's MACK and Peters' MABEL. The original and revival vehicles for Diahann Carrol, Pearl Bailey, Lena Horne, Ethel Waters, and Leslie Uggams. Much less Carol Channing (no offense, Dollypop). James Mitchell dancing roles created by Agnes de Mille, and probably some of his directing/choreographing as well. All the Pseudoleusi in NYC prior to Nathan Lane & Whoopi. The original cast of MISBEHAVIN live. SEESAW. Sting's THREE PENNY. Raul's THREE PENNY. Original cast BARNUM. Preston and Martin saying I DO I DO. All appearances of Comden & Green and well as Nichols & May. Carol "Winifred" Burnett. And many more that i forget right now...

Yes I did, made me even sadder at what they did in the movie!

Emily and Alice in Side Show (no, I didn't see it live... yes, I've seen it "illegally" and at Lincoln Center, and yes, I've seen other productions of it live... sad for me... hey, I was only 14 when it was open! I couldn't get into the city by myself... I could easily lament right now over the fact that I didn't see it on Broadway, but I digress for everyone's sake...).
