Idina Menzel's performance in Wicked and Sutton Foster's performance in Thoroughly Modern Millie made every penny worth it for those shows.

The character of Squeaky Fromm had so many lines that, alone, could've made the ticket price worth it for Assassins.

I haven't seen many shows, but...

Roger DeBris's entrance, Carmen's exits, and the entire Springtime for Hitler scene from The Producers. I've never laughed so hard in my life.

(and am I the only one who cringes at the "I feel Wicked" line? It's as if they put that line in just so the teeny-boppers can go, "Oooh, she said the name of the show!" - no disrespect, NoDayButToday. :) )


no offense taken... people have different opinions. but in my defense, i am probably twice the age of most of these 'teeny-boppers' you describe...

just a thought

I agree seeing anything Michael Arden is in even if he does just stand there and not udder a note
(can we actually make a show that he does that, I'll buy a ticket anyone else)

I'm with NYCgal107 all the way. Also...

John Hill performing "One" in Bare....what can I say? I'm a straight female.

The Wild Party (Lippa) CD. Listening to Idina riff like a wild woman.

Carolee Carmello in Urinetown. I waited 2.5 hours in -10 degree weather for those tickets. Worth every frostbitten toe.

"Audition" and "Finale" in 42nd Street. Like Riverdance but with gold shoes

The assassination scene in, well, Assassins. Simply spectacular. As for the CD, worth every penny because I get to listen to Marc Kudisch!

Cabaret-
Maurice Villa-Lobos(the sexiest violinist ever)
Susan Egan(that's how theatre should be done)
Michael O' Donnell( He was a great Emcee, but the Best Bobby ever)
Vance Avery(what a doll)
Candy Buckley("good evening frl. schneider...")

Millie
Sutton Foster(also how theatre should be done-"sad to be all alone in the world.")
Christian Borle(What a doll-I loved the chemistry between these two kids)

Assassins-EVERYTHING IN THE WHOLE DAMN SHOW!!!

Jekyll and Hyde
(Chuck Wagner ripping his shirt open) ...this seems to happen a lot in Wildhorn shows-and though I loved seeing Tom Hewitt doing the same motion, I'm praying I get to see Chuck do this again.

Taboo
Raul Esparza-Do I really need to say anymore!

Wicked-
Defying Gravity...That scene changed my life.

Eartha Kitt doing her Eartha Kitt thing in "Wild Party".

On the CD, or on stage...IMHO, she was the reason to see/hear this show.

Just a few
This time for me, for me -- Rose in Gypsy (Bernadette Peters)
The opening scene of the Lion King
Moo with me -- Rent
Anything Hugh Jackman does in BFO
It's me, it's meeeeeee -- Elpha in Wicked
You can't stop the music -- Hairspray

So my dear you think you can get to Broadway. Well, let me tell you something. Broadway has no room for people like you. Not the Broadway I know. My Broadway takes people like you and eats them up and spits them out. My Broadway is the Broadway of Merman, and Martin, and Fontaine, and if you think you can build yourself up by knocking other people down... ...GOOD LUCK... Seinfeld
