Of those now gone, which Broadway performer would you have loved to see? — Page 2

I assume this thread is about performers who have passed (although there are several very much alive ones mentioned), so here are mine:

I would have loved to have "experienced" Al Jolson at the height of his popularity in one of his shows at the Winter Garden. His ad-libs, energy, and over-the-top persona would have been something to see.

I also would have liked to have seen Zero Mostel, Brando, Gene Kelly, Ray Bolger, and Bert Lahr.
