I also wish I could see the ORIGINAL cast of Les Miz..

The original cast of Phantom and the original cast of A Chorus Line.

Hands down, RENT Original Cast when it was Off-Broadway would be my number one choice. I'd give all my limbs to have been there.

I'd give a lot to be able to see the original production of Follies.

I'd love to see the original cast of Sweeney Todd again, to see Len Cariou's performance one more time.

When I think about it, I wish I could have seen all of Sondheim's output in their original Broadway productions.

Also, I am still kicking myself for not having gone to see The Goat when Bill Irwin and Sally Field were in it.

Angels in America-both parts, though not Broadway technically I'd have loved to be at the world premiere of both parts at the mark taper forum.

Alos OBC of Rent and a chorus line
