Last time I was in Footlight (actually in the store), I bought a bunch of used cast recording CDs from the bargain bin. Today I was listening to the Pointer Sisters' Ain't Misbehavin' and all I could think of was how much I'd rather be listening to Nell Carter.
Nell Carter and Gregory Hines--I've been missing them. Not miss in the sense that I don't see them. But, you know, sad that they're gone and we won't ever see them on stage or TV or in movies again. No new projects to look forward to.

"Grease," the fourth revival of the season, is the worst show in the history of theater and represents an unparalleled assault on Western civilization and its values. - Michael Reidel

great topic!
when i saw Wicked, JLT was reminescant of Madeline Kahn to me. made me sad that i will never see her on stage...and my memories are from (God forbid) Sesame Street!
(before i get fussed at, i have seen her in/know there are videos/DVDs available of other TV shows and movies...)
So long status quo/

I miss having Neil Patrick Harris around. Well, he's not dead but I miss seeing him in shows.

Muscle, I saw Liza in concert in February in L.I. I absolutely loved Raul Julia.

I'm very sad I'll never see an "original" Bob Fosse show.
I did manage to see "A Chorus Line" on B'way...
