Now that Covid restrictions are beginning to lift, how does your Bucket List look?

In 1967, my then Navy shipmate and now husband and I, visited Paris for the first (but not last) time. It was there that we decided to spend our lives together. Because we are absolute Olympic Games geeks, we are visiting again in 2024 to attend the Opening Ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games. 2024 will mark 100 years since Paris last hosted the Games (1924), and it will mark 57 years of togetherness for my husband and I.
I hope all your Bucket List items will be realized.

You probably have seen this clip of Mary Martin's "Dolly" in Vietnam. Quite emotional. I don't know the exact timeline, but from Vietnam she found her way to London. The wonderful Dora Bryan replaced her in London, and that was the first stage version of Dolly that I saw (in 1967).
How about naming all the ladies, and perhaps gentlemen, you have seen portray Dolly?

^^That clip definitely packed a punch! Thanks for posting...

I just hope I can see more shows in the future and meet my heroes virtually, unless I break into the industry. I have been waiting to rave and talk smack about new shows for a long time, and I would love to continue getting and sharing information with all of you - some of the most culturally inclined and knowledgeable folks in the biz.

Carol Channing, Ginger Roger's, Martha Raye, Betty Grable, Bibi Osterwald, Pearl Bailey, Phyllis Diller, Thelma Carpenter, Ethel Mrrman, Dorothy Lamour, Eve Arden, Bette Midler, Donna Murphy and Bernadette Peters.
There were others in second-rate productions that I've walked out on.

Impressive. My two are not on your list (unless you walked out on them): Dora Bryan (once) and Betty Buckley (four times).

The beautiful city of Valencia, Spain, has been selected as the host site for the 2026 Gay Games. The other two final contenders were Guadalajara and Munich. The Gay Games have been held every four years since 1982, and typically attract upwards of 15,000 participants (of all athletic abilities) and 100,000 attendees. We (my husband and I) plan to run the 10K at almost age 80.

Now that we feel more comfortable traveling, husband and I plan to attend the Coronation in London in May. Gay Games (above) are still on the agenda.
And what is on your Bucket List?
Posted: 2/1/23 at 8:29pm
The two things I’ve ever wanted to do since I was 7. I’ll add items here and there, but these two have consistently been on the list forever.

Since posting some many months ago, I have downsized my Bucket List. Did not make it to the Coronation Ceremonies, but still hope to participate in the Gay Games (10K) in Valencia, Spain, in 2026.
And what about you guys? What's on your Bucket List?

With Bob Newhart's passing I reflected on how fortunate I was to have seen him perform live once here at one of the casinos in the Vancouver area.
Right now I can't think.of any other specific performer I haven't seen, that I would like to.
Just about half an hour ago I was in the office of somebody in another department who I speak to very infrequently, and she was playing an Adele album. I'm not really a fan, but if tickets to her shows weren't so ridiculously over priced I would have maybe tried to see her sometime in Las Vegas.
Again grateful I saw one of Celine Dion's last shows at Caesar's Palace before the medical issues that are keeping her from performing flared up.
In a couple weeks time I'm knocking something off my list by visiting Santa Fe & seeing a couple performances at the opera there.
Spain, and especially Barcelona, is on my travel bucket list. But they don't really want tourists anymore.

News has it that Noel Coward's "Private Lives" may return to Broadway in 2026-2027. If so, and if I'm still upright, I hope to celebrate my 80th birthday on Planet Earth in early January 2027 enjoying once again the wit of that British master.
That's as far in advance that my current Bucklet List takes me.

Can't believe I missed this thread when it started.
Two of my bucket list items were checked off during/after Covid. To work in some capacity on Broadway and to move back to Colorado.

My bucket list is to buy a nice piece of property in the country and homestead. I want chickens and fruit trees and a vegetable garden. I also want to start my own message board free from censorship, and a podcast of people talking about Ny theater. I also want to get my body bigger to 180 lbs. I would like to go to Wimbledon and all the other big tennis tournaments, Miami open, French open. I go to the US open every year. Theres lots of national parks id like to visit.

Fingers crossed that it happens! I saw it in Philadelphia with Taylor and Burton years ago.
