What were plays/musicals that you discovered long after they were gone or you missed while they played?

-Passing Strange
-Sunday in the Park with George
-Everyday Rapture

Spring Awakening is they only one jumping out at me right now... and Everyday Rapture, I am SO upset I missed it. I listened to the recording and saw a few clips very shortly after the run ended and was so angry at myself for underestimating it.

Everyday Rapture
Come Fly Away- I always knew about it, but never cared to look into it or anything. When I found out more about it, there was only a week left in the run, so I never got to see what it was all about.

Finian's Rainbow (Cheyenne Jackson + "Old Devil Moon" = <333)
and
Everyday Rapture ("Up the Ladder to the Roof" got me hooked on the music)

Yank! - I could have seen the final off-broadway performance...but I wasn't really familiar with it until I got back [to Australia]. Was slightly devastated, especially after hearing the current demo recording. Now to hear it won't reach Broadway next/this season makes me more sad.

Ragtime - I was really looking forward to seeing this but such a sad case/early closing etc..

Give me claws and a hunch, just away from this bunch.

Parade

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

Caroline, or Change is definitely at the top of my list.
And I wish I had been more aggressive about seeing A Chorus Line. Bad luck at the lottery honestly turned me off a little.

When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain. -Kad

Parade. JRB is hit or miss for me, but I love this score.

Do shows I wish I had been alive to see count? Because then there'd be a lot more. Especially Prettybelle. And that other show that was playing in Boston at the time.

Into the Woods with Bernadette Peters. What could I possibly have been doing that was more important than seeing that?

The OBC of Ragtime -- was SO glad to catch the revival 2x.
Yank! (But I'll wait!)
Into the Woods -- I was not interested at all until the production was televised and I've been sorry ever since! I've seen the production performed, but never on Bway.
