I'm amazed at how many others have chosen that I was blessed enough to have seen! I'd have to go a little further back. These were the first three that came to mind:
The Glass Menagerie with Laurette Taylor
Member of the Wedding with Julie Harris and Ethel Waters
Bus Stop with Kim Stanley
OBC of Follies

There is a curious paradox that no one can explain;
Who understands the secret of the reaping of the grain,
Who understands why spring is born out of winter's laboring pain,
Or why we all must die a bit before we grow again.

OBC RENT.. HANDS DOWN i think that must have been the best experience in the world to see them
also.. Sherie Renee Scott and Norbert Leo Butz in Last 5 Years
The stars gleam
The poets dream
The eagles fly
Without you
The Earth turns
the sun burns
But I die, without you

Posted: 2/27/06 at 7:32amThe OBC Tom O'Horgan staging of Jesus CHrist Superstar. The still pictures I've seen don't do the descriptions justice.

Posted: 2/27/06 at 7:35amI would want to see the NY City Center ENCORES! production of Strike Up the Band again because I was very young when I saw it and was probably only paying attention to the songs, plus that's where I first fell in love with Kristin Chenoweth. (Another tidbit is that JLT was in the ensemble as was my future singing teacher, then single, Rebecca "Becky" Baxter Foard, now husband to Merwin Foard.)

The Pillowman is pure brilliance.
And I would have LOVED to have been in the audience opening night of chess...experience the 3 and a half hour version...and then be there for closing when the show ran about 2 and a half.
