I agree with Rent - not my favourite but again for the emotion of the night
Wicked (because it wouldn't have been 'ruined' by spoilers)
Not an opening night but I would have given anything to have been at the Les Mis 10th Anniversary Concert.

Posted: 4/16/06 at 4:57pmLes Miserables at the Barbican in London. Before it transferred to the Palace. Just to see the first night of such a production. To see the newspapers next day giving it bad notices but the people lining up to see it. To have such a magical cast and production and being one of the first to see it.

lol. I kind of agree. Out of all the classic musicals that had real important openings - they would want to be at an opening that only happened 10 years ago.
To each his own though.

Posted: 5/10/06 at 5:22pm"My Fair Lady" or "Phantom." Or "Camelot." Didn't like the movie, and the stage version I saw was just okay, nothing spectacular. What I'd give to have seen it with Burton/Andrews/Goulet!

Sweeney Todd!!!! revival and original, that would be a dream.
also Phantom, that would be so much fun and Light in the Piazza. The party looked gorgeous.
The Producers and La Cage revival, definately, I cannot imagine how much fun those would be!

The Phantom of the Opera (London) This show is a spectacle, it would have been awesome to experience this show without knowing what was going to happen.
Sweeney Todd - I'm sure this show shocked a lot of people when it first opened.
Cats (London premiere) Why not?
Les Miserables (Barbican Theatre) Patti Lupone as Fantine. Being there would be a significant part of musical theatre history.
A Chorus Line 5,6,7,8!
Rent (NYTW)Again musical theatre history - I would have loved to experienced the raw emotion of the actors at this time.
Miss Saigon - Wonderful show that generated controversy when the producers did not hire an Asian to play The Engineer.

I was at the opening of the Roundabout CABARET...the most astonishing night of theatre I've ever had...cause it was just so unexpected.
I would choose, however, original STREETCAR, original DEATH OF A SALESMAN and WEST SIDE STORY.
#48re: Opening Nights You Would Give Anything To Have Been At..
Posted: 5/10/06 at 6:14pmI think to be at opening night of the Producers would have also been pretty cool too.
