For me, Darlene Love in HAIRSPRAY. I saw the YouTube video and I fell in love with her all over again!

Julie Andrews in My Fair Lady. Her performance and that original set design in action.

But reading this post I'm feeling really fortunate-- saw Angela's Gypsy, Raul Julia's Threepenny Opera, OBC Ragtime, Kristin in Charlie brown and Wicked. So all in all I'm doing swell.

Strange. I've seen Lansbury in Mame, Lupone in Gypsy and the obc of Ragtime.

I would have liked to see Donna Murphy in Passion, love her on the CD and she's such a great actress. At least I got to see and hear her in other performances.

MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG...this is the one show i would want to have seen in it's first few performances...I LOVE THIS SHOW CD...i even got to see a GEORGE FURTH reconstruction of this show a few years ago at UCLA...it was awful...he rewrote the book and took out a number of classic songs from the origional score...(Our Time)...i hated Mr Furth and wanted to ask him personally why?..he was there for the one night perfomance, but i never got the chance to approach him...

I don't think I could pick just one!

On the musical front, I'll go with Patti LuPone in Sunset Boulevard. For a play, it's A Doll's House with Janet McTeer, hands down.

I'm torn between a few... Ethel Merman in Gypsy, Carol Channing (in 1964, since I saw her in '95), Pearl Bailey or Merman in Dolly, The OLC of The Witches of Eastwick or Michael Crawford in Phantom...

spike 3 is inspiring-- If we're going back to 1940 for Lady in the Dark, I'd rather see Ethel Merman in Anything Goes than Gypsy, or the OBC's of Porgy and Bess and Showboat for a look at the art form at its source of greatness. Wouldn't it be great to talk to the audiences at these performances to find out if they realize they're witnessing the start of something brave and new?

Definitely Patti in Evita and Anything Goes.

And the OBC of A Chorus Line.
