If I could only have seen the original Follies, the original Chicago, and The Act - I'd be a happy time traveler.
As for non-musical - Kim Stanley in Bus Stop and Natural Affection, and Geraldine Page and Sandy Dennis in Absurd Personal Singular.

I'd be so torn between My Fair Lady and Camelot. If I were forced to choose just one . . . I guess I would have to go with My Fair Lady.

The original SWEENEY TODD, without question. The DVD is a nice consolation, buy it kills me to have missed it live.

I have to cheat and go with my favorite play with music... AMADEUS, the original production with Sir Ian McKellen as Salieri and Tim Curry as Mozart. What I wouldn't give to have been able to see that live...
Words don't deserve that kind of malarkey. They're innocent, neutral, precise, standing for this, describing that, meaning the other, so if you look after them you can build bridges across incomprehension and chaos. But when they get their corners knocked off, they're no good anymore…I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little.

To go way back I'd like to see the Ziegfeld Follies with Fanny Brice and Eddie Cantor. More recently, the Gypsy run-through of West Side Story. Also, My Fair Lady and Follies would top the list. Most lately, the Original Merrily We Roll Along.
