Posted: 4/17/07 at 10:51amShows that I was around for that I wish I'd seen are Pillowman and Proof when Mary Louise Parker was in it. I should have seen Assassins as well, but those two I kick myself for.

I wish I could have seen Les Mis with Lea Solanga as Eponine, rather than just seeing the concert DVD. Plus I wish I could have seen Spelling Bee's original cast (I'd go to LA, but I don't have the time). Plus I saw Ragtime when it was in Toronto, but I wish I had been a bit older so I remembered it better

I wish I had seen APPLAUSE with Lauren Bacall.
Being 65, I feel lucky to have seen most of the hits as well as some of the good flops from The Golden Years, starting with Mary Martin in PETER PAN and including the OBC's of HAPPY HUNTING, Li'L ABNER, GYPSY, BYE BYE BIRDIE, I CAN GET IT FOR YOU WHOLESALE, HELLO DOLLY with Pearl Bailly and Ethel Merman, TAKE ME ALONG, FIORELLO, THE ROAR OF THE GREASEPAINT, THE SMELL OF THE CROWD, 110 IN THE SHADE, THE APPLE TREE, FLOWER DRUM SONG, COMPANY...The list goes on. I have to say that the Broadway of today often disappoints me, especially the loudness factor, but I still go a few times a year (I no longer live in NYC). My next show will be LEGALLY BLONDE on May 3rd.

Miss Saigon, before it closed in London.
I would also have liked to have seen the original casts of Rent and the Broadway revival of Les Miserables, but as I live in England it was impossible.

I saw the original, but I wish I had seen A Chorus Line at The Newman. The intimacy seemed quite exiting, even though it was still great at the Shubert.
I also wish I could have seen Gypsy with Ethel Merman. God, that would have been something.
And oh what I would give to see the original Chicago one more time... the original run wasn't long enough. Glad I caught it though.
