Anyone Can Whistle should have run for at least 500 performances.

Merrily We Roll Along - they should have brought in a new Director (as much as I hate to say this, but Prince's vision was completely wrong for the show). This is one of Sondheim's best...

Sweeney Todd
Pacific Overtures
Into The Woods
Company

A Little Night Music
Passion
Assassins (revival cast WITH Annie Golden)

Wow, I'm sorry, I don't mean to be ignorant, but I didn't realize people here really did like Cats. I guess I just don't get the show. I mean, I liked it when I was younger, but I look back and smack my forehead. What is it about Cats? I'm really interested to know what you people think.

Caroline or Change, Gem of the Ocean, and Les Miz (partly because it deserved to have had a longer run than Phantom).

And could we please have that Sweeney revival ASAP?

No, it's not coming back, and that really sucks because it's the greatest little show I've ever seen. It had so much potentional, it was remarkable.

Cabaret and Assassins. Well, obviously not at their original home as they would have to share the stage.

That's pretty much the top of my list. There are a ton of other shows that I would have loved to see. Like Side Show, Titanic, Ragtime, ttB... the list goes on and on.

Whnever these threads are started, Ragtime is always mentioned, many times. It is a great show, one of my all time favorites. But, I'm glad it closed when it did, due to the content. There would have been riots at that theatre had it still been running after Sept. 11th.

"Do you know what pledge time is, Andrew"? said the PBS Executive. "Yes", Lloyd Webber replied. "My 50th birthday special must be one program that gets done a lot." "No", mused the man from PBS heedlessy. "Not so much. Our Stephen Sondheim Carnegie Hall concert. That's a big one." Spoons, forks and knives seemed suddenly to suspend their motion in horror, all around the table.

"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell plus i proudly share the title of the shortest member over the age of 10 with wickedrentq!
