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...

>Frank Langella DRACULA (Did anyone see FL in the show?)

Yes I did, made me even sadder at what they did in the movie!
(Although the sense of "camp" in the play would probably have killed the movie.)

>Liza Minnelli - Flora

I don't know if it will help, but the second volume of Ed Sullivan's Broadway series has Liza doing a number from Flora.
