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.

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...

Thparkaly, the entire Broadway production of Merrily We Roll Along is on youtube. Not like being there, but it's as close as we can get.

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.

Posted: 4/16/13 at 5:26pm

The original PAL JOEY with Gene Kelly.
