I haven't seen Beauty and the Beast or The Lion King. Although I have nothing against BATB, I refused to see The Lion King because of my whole Ragtime-was-snubbed mentality. Although I put that behind me several years ago, I still just haven't got around to seeing the show. I have seen pretty much everything else.

I saw Lion King, but it was so long ago I only very vaguely remember it.

Edit: I do have little to no desire to see Rent (disliked movie), JB (dislike falsetto singing), and TCP (disliked book).

It sucks that some people don't even want to see a show and they get to, and I want to see a ton, but I can't :P

Hmm..I haven't seen all of the Disney shows. Not too interested.

The Color Purple
Spamalot
Spelling Bee
Jersey Boys

I find that I mostly see random Off Broadway stuff for the actors in it instead of the popular stuff :X

Even with seeing four or five broadway shows a year since 1987 - and then MOVING here later in my life, I never saw "Cats" (my mother saw it and decided it would be a waste of my time)

I've also never seen Lion King.

Everything on in New York that isn't on in london except Wicked.
That's pretty much all of the above, AvQ, JB, ACL, DRS, Drowsy..., the lot.

I've also never seen the Producers, I'm not sure if I've seen Phantom but if I have I was about 4, and I've also never seen Rent, and a few other things. Not much I haven't seen in London really, though.

The rain we knew is a thing of the past -
deep-delving, dark, deliberate you would say
browsing on spire and bogland; but today
our sky-blue slates are steaming in the sun,
our yachts tinkling and dancing in the bay
like racehorses. We contemplate at last
shining windows, a future forbidden to no one.

I'll be seeing The Color Purple, The Drowsy Chaperone and Jersey Boys in November.

Unfortunately I'll miss History Boys which will close before I get there.

I've not seen, and have little interest in seeing, Beauty and the Beast, Wedding Singer and Tarzan.
