Oh god. SO MANY.

Liza in Flora, the Red Menace
Liza in Chicago
(Let's face it: Liza in anything.)
Merman in Gypsy, AGYG, and Anything Goes.
Sure, Patti in EVITA. (!!!!)
Dick York in Bus Stop (I swear, I'm cool.)
The original cast of SITPWG, ALNM, Follies, Company, [insert every Sondheim show I haven't seen here]
Bernadette in Mack & Mabel!
Dick Van Dyke in The Music Man and Bye Bye Birdie (CHITA TOO, obviously)
Chita in Chicago. Oh, and The Rink, which I guess I already mentioned when I pointed out Liza in ANYTHING.

And, uh... come back to me.

Edited: Hi, I like how I forgot Carol Channing in the original run of Hello, Dolly. I mean, I saw her in the last revival, but, yeah. I would kind of LIVE for that.

This isn't really far in the past, but I would've loved to see Sutton Foster in conert at Lincoln Center. Other performance I would've enjoyed seeing:

-Hunter Foster in Urinetown (gotta love them Fosters!)
-Harvey Fierstein in Hairspray
-original cast of the Producers

I'm sure there are plenty of other performances but I can't think straight now...plus I'm at work. Lol.

millie - I was lucky enough to see that concert at Lincoln Center. I heard about it and snapped up 2 tickets. It really was incredible. One thing I'm looking forward to is Emily Skinner and Alice Ripley at Town Hall in October. I HATE that I missed them in Side Show, but I'm glad that I'm going to catch them in this concert event.
