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.

Seussical,
Fame Becomes me,
Porgy and Bess...


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.


Derek Mahon

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.

Nine OBC (Oh, to have seen Raul Julia onstage just once)
Chicago OBC (same sentiment for Jerry.....)

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)

Since I won't make it to New York before 2008 I will not be able to see the revival of Les Misérables re: Shows you wished you had seen. 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?
