Sunday in the Park with George opened six months before I made my entrance upon this stage we call the world.

Does it count if The Mystery of Edwin Drood closed long before I would have been old enough to see it?

Back, he spurred like a madman, shrieking a curse to the sky. With the white road smoking behind him and his rapier brandished high! Blood-red were the spurs i' the golden noon; wine-red was his velvet coat, when they shot him down on the highway, down like a dog on the highway, and he lay in his blood on the highway, with the bunch of lace at his throat... (The Highwayman. Sung by: Loreena McKennitt)
