Posted: 10/16/07 at 11:47amTrain wreck I DID see: The last reival of My Fair Lady with Rex Harrison and Ms. Nesbitt. Harrison BARELY phoned in his performance, delivering his last line as such a throwaway that you could barely here him and walking through the show like he was in a dream. Eliza kept losing her accent and Nesbitt had to be led around the stage by a man dressed in tails whose only function was to get her to her mark. At one point she called Harrison "Colonel Pickering". It became so ridiculous that much of the audience was laughing at the farce.

NOW you all wish you'd seen Lestat. When it was me all alone in that theatre, night after night, wearing my KISS ME CAROLEE t-shirt and weeping, where were you then?

Sam, I saw that one as well...and got to go backstage and meet Nesbitt and Nancy Ringham (Eliza) and let me tell you...Nesbitt must have been 153 years old.
I agree with most of these, and would add...Canterbury Tales and Prettybelle.

Posted: 10/16/07 at 12:19pmThe opportunity to see Carrie presented itself, yet I chose to see Chess instead.

I kind of wish I had seen Lestat. I mean, it might have been interesting.
#17re: Train Wrecks You Wish You Had Seen

"The opportunity to see Carrie presented itself, yet I chose to see Chess instead."
Same here, Dottie!
I would've been just as sorry to have missed Judy Kuhn in Chess, however.

Posted: 10/16/07 at 2:22pmHands down, Carrie. The kicker for me is that I saw another show in the afternoon; tickets for Carrie were on half-price that day and I could easily have seen the evening performance had my "friend" been amenable to the idea. Haven't seen him for 12 years and wish I never had in the first place, if only because he gypped me out of a great opportunity! I console myself with having seen Eve Arden in one of two performances she did of Moose Murders.

I second The Vampire Trilogy: Dance of the Vampires, Dracula, Lestat, (I'm a sucker for those suckers.) Nick and Nora, and of course Carrie.
Ok does Pirate Queen Count? How About Lord of The Rings?
#22re: Train Wrecks You Wish You Had Seen
Posted: 10/16/07 at 3:53pmI can at least console myself that I did get to see both Lestat and Pirate Queen. And I have to say I enjoyed Lestat more. A very relative comparison, but still...
#23re: Train Wrecks You Wish You Had Seen
Posted: 10/16/07 at 4:20pmI envy Ed_Mottershead for seeing the always wonderful Eve Arden in MOOSE MURDERS, which Times critic Frank Rich said would prove to be the benchmark by which all flops would be compared to(or words to that effect). Who remembers Eve Arden in the radio and TV sitcom "Our Miss Brooks"?

I had no idea that so many people who post HERE never did see Lestat.
I got to see it twice, and for the first time in my life I feel kind of fortunate that I did, lol.
