I saw idina in Wicked, and although I loved her, I wouldn't have kicked myself over it if I hadn't seen her.
Seussical,
Fame Becomes me,
Porgy and Bess...
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.

A few years ago, I chose to see Little Women over A Light in the Piazza (I wasn't really into Broadway) and I regret that terribly, also this past summer, to make my family happy, I chose to see Rent and I would've much rather seen Dirty Rotten Scoundrels or something like that.

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)

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?
