I was planning to go see I Am My Own Wife a few months before it closed. I knew the show was on the TKTs booth. I was ready to get out of the door, when my brother stopped me, knowing where I was going. He said I had to stay, or tell my parents about this (I didn't have the privilege to go to NYC alone back then). I was so sad.

I'm sorry I missed Raul Esparza in Tick... Tick... Boom!!!
And, even though I was lucky enough to see the OBC in Cabaret, I think I would have enjoyed seeing Mr. Esparza's take on that one too.

OBC of Urinetown
Norbert and Joel in Wicked (dream cast would be JLT, Idina, Joel, and Norbert)
Sutton Foster in Thoroughly Modern Millie
Scott and Butz in The Last 5 Years

And I would do just about anything to have seen, somehow, the original cast of My Fair Lady. It's my favorite show EVER and to see it with Julie Andrews and Rex Harrison would have made my life.

Marilyn Miller in SUNNY or AS THOUSANDS CHEER

Al Jolson, Eddie Cantor, Fannie Brice, Sophie Tucker, Ethel Waters and Bert Lahr in anything.

Martha Raye in HOLD ON TO YOUR HATS.

Ditto especially Bea Lillie. Supposedly she was so uniquely demented on stage that no recording or film captures it. And her brand of humour is completely lost.

Merman in GYPSY, naturally. But Susan Johnson's tour of GYPSY even more so.

Carole Landis in A LADY SAYS YES.

FOLLIES of course. Both the original Broadway cast and the tour with Vivian Blaine & Lynn Bari.

Martin & Pinza in SOUTH PACIFIC.

"Christ, Bette Davis?!?!"
