I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

I saw idina in Wicked, and although I loved her, I wouldn't have kicked myself over it if I hadn't seen her.

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.

Hairspray. The tour came through here before I had been formally itroduced to musicals. Yes, I know, that wasn't too long ago, but thank god I know musicals now.
Im a HUGE fan of fun shows, it doesn't have to be all sad and dramatic for me. Wah.

big (did it, but I wish I could've seen the OBC)
Titanic (saw the tour, want to see original production)
Carrie (b/c I love the music and think it's better than some of the newer shows)
Sweeney revival (I'll catch the tour...but Patti...)
And I might as well add the Company revival to my list. I'm a broke 16 year old living near Atlanta, Georgia...what are my chances of seeing it?

Since I won't make it to New York before 2008 I will not be able to see the revival of Les Misérables 
although I would of loved to ... and I would of enjoyed seeing Beauty and the Beast. Other than that (for shows that are already closed) I would of enjoyed seeing The Lion King in the Amsterdam theatre and The Apple tree.
Off topic but... What are OBC'S?
