Posted: 5/22/04 at 10:06pmYes, along with many other big named females on Broadway. It seems sort of like a rite of passage for the Broadway actress nowadays...

Posted: 5/22/04 at 10:09pmWell, I would love to have seen the OBC of GYPSY and the OBC of WEST SIDE STORY. I can't narrow it down to one performer or one song from those!

Ethel Merman: Rose's Turn
Way before my time and sadly not recorded anywhere on film because Gypsy ran way before Lincoln Center tapings and Rosalind Russel did the movie. But omigosh it must have been amazing.

HARD, HARD Question.
I would say....Barbara Streisand---"Don't Rain on My Parade". The song is one of the theater's best songs, In my opinion, and Barbara Streisand is just incomparable. She sounds amazing on that song, and to see her sing it live would be a dream.

Show, you may know this, or you may not...
"My Man" isn't from the stage production of FUNNY GIRL.
It was used in the movie replacing a more subtle and effective song "The Music That Makes Me Dance."
Still, Babs singing "Man" live is thrilling.

Um, Heather and Adam in Elaborate Lives from AIDA, and like, any song from RENT with the OBC (ok fine, Daphne in Out Tonight and Adam in One Song Glory and Your Eyes).
That sound you hear is NuggetMonkeys weeping for my - uh, our - generation. jk

Streisand actually did sing "My Man" at her final New York performance of Funny Girl. Must have been something to see.
I'm going to go way off a limb here and say Inga Swenson in 110 in the Shade, performing either "Is It Really Me?" "Raunchy" or "Old Maid". Ken Mandelbaum at Broadway.com often refers to Swenson's performance as the best performance by an actress in a musical he's ever seen.
