re: Productions You Missed

Side Show. I still kick myself for choosing a seminary in DC rather than NYC because of that. (And some other things, but that's part of it.)

There's a lot of stuff I wish I had seen that ran when I was just a kid, but my big regret in recent memory is The Coast of Utopia.

re: Productions You Missed

My mom should have taken me to see MARLOWE while I was in the womb...and RAGGEDY ANN when I was four. So sad.

re: Productions You Missed

Out of the Productions that were playing on my recent trips to NYC and didn't make my cut, I would have to say

Drowsy Chaperon
Curtains
and it will close before I make it back, so I will add in advance of its' closing, South Pacific. I saw Jay's review and pictures of the revival right after my trip and I instantly regretted not seeing the show.

After hearing about budget cuts in YF I am glad I saw that show in its big-budget, big orchestra, original cast glory.

re: Productions You Missed

I always really wanted to see the West End Guys and Dolls revival with Ewan McGregor. I'm sure that was ah-mah-zing. I don't get to see a lot of shows since I love on the West Coast, but these are my MOST regretted to have missed.

Boy from Oz for Hugh Jackman

The Drowsy Chaperone
Sound of Music with Laura Benanti

re: Productions You Missed

I'm sorry I missed PILLOWMAN.

I'm sorry I missed Bill Irwin and Sally Field in THE GOAT. I saw Bill Pullman play the lead, that doesn't mean I could hear Bill Bullman play the lead.

I really wish I had seen MACBETH with Patrick Stewart recently. It just seem to close so fast!

It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali

re: Productions You Missed

Someone offered me tickets to Ragtime during its LA preview, and I turned them down. I live about 8 hours away from LA and I didn’t want to drive all the way down there to see a show I had never even heard of. Of course I’ve been kicking myself ever since. I did finally see the show, several times, but I could have seen it with the fabulous original cast that I never got to see.

re: Productions You Missed

If I could live my life again knowing what I know now, then when my parents started taking my sister and I to West End musicals, I'd've begged and pleaded for 'Sunday In The Park With George' at the National Theatre (when I was eight), and 'The Fix' at the Donmar Warehouse (when I was thirteen). I imagine this is about the point my mother would stop letting me choose the musicals. XD I'd also be very interested in the 2003 Chichester Festival Theatre production of 'The Merchant Of Venice'. Anyone who spotted that all three of those feature Philip Quast, well done, give yourself a cookie. There's also John Barrowman and Geoffrey Streatfeild, before you write me off as a single-minded fool. XD

Generally, I try not to dwell on shows that have played within my lifetime that I did not see. I could drive myself mad if I did. O_O I did miss booking for 'Coram Boy' though, which was annoying, and I'll forever be bitter that 'Evil Dead: The Musical' closed a few short weeks before I got to New York last year. I also kinda wish I'd seen 'Journey's End' that week. But no matter. Those are the only three that really bother me; I just block everything else out. ^_^
