If you could see one person onstage....

Posted: 5/24/04 at 8:41pm

I was just reading the article about Peter's vs. Merman's Mama Rose. I wondered...if there's one person you could get to see on stage as a specific character, who would it be?

Stephen Sondheim's Bobby in Company. He must be the most romantically-hurt people ever. I think that would be the most spellbinding, raw emotion in existence.

I would have liked to have seen Veerle Casteleyn as Juliette in the "Roméo et Juliette - de la Haine à l'Amour".

The classics - anything with Julie Andrews, Ethel Merman, and/or Carol Channing, to harken back to the golden age of theater. Oh, and maybe Gwen Verdon.

I can't decide:

--Laurette Taylor in "Glass Menagerie"
--Marlon Brando and Jessica Tandy in "Streetcar"
--Streisand in "Funny Girl" and "I Can Get It For You Wholesale"
--Merman in "Gypsy" "Girl Crazy" and everything else
--Gwen Verdon in "Can-Can" "Redhead" "New Girl In Town" (with Thelma Ritter) and "Sweet Charity"
--The original cast and staging of "Follies" (especially Bennett's Mirror Number)
--The famous performance of "Cradle Will Rock" where after being shut down by the government, the cast went to another theatre with the audience in tow and performed the play from the audience while Blitzstein accompanied them on piano.

Margo,

You little hussy...you stole every one of mine!

Laurette Taylor and Jessica Tandy being tops.

Original FOLLIES would be the show I'd go back in time and see.
