I would have liked to have seen Judy Garland in person at any point of her career.  I'd also would have like to see Ethel Merman in all her big roles.  And while it's only been 6 years since her death, I would have liked to have seen Laurie Beechman in "Joseph" or "Cats".

DR Matthew:

I did indeed see Laurie in Joseph, and she turned that song "Strange as it seems..." (what's its title?) from a sort of bland throw-away on one of the concept albums into a rousing anthem.  Oh, dat voice!

A colleague of mine in the math department actually invested a bit of money in the show... never did see a return.

Oh, if we're doing opening nights, I definitely want to see Mrs. Patrick Cambel in Pygmalion just for the audience reaction when she uses "that word".

What did Skippy Jay play hooky from yesterday?
Yes, 7th Avenue.  I just checked my emails to friends & family and I did send them the  correct info. :)

Jose, Keith booked me a nice room.  He is so sweet.  I am curious when you say you can upgrade, is that for more money or do you mean they will upgrade you if they have the space available?
And congrats on the approval for your home improvements.  :D

Now that Ann has returned, what about Jed?

And Jenny, who has a birthday coming up soon, has returned to us.  :)

Streisand, in concert
Elvis Presley when he was young, thin and wore all black
Mary Martin in SOUTH PACIFIC.

Hey, if we're going to shows, didn't we do this many months ago?  I want to see Barbara Cook in everything from CANDIDE to THE GRASS HARP!

Merman in GIRL CRAZY and GYPSY.

Bessie Wynn in BABES IN TOYLAND.

Ruth Etting in SIMPLE SIMON.

Mary Martin in SOUTH PACIFIC (I'm still pissed I missed seeing her and Robert Preston in I DO! I DO! in its Cincinnati tryout).

Rosalind Russell in WONDERFUL TOWN.

Ruth Gordon in THE MATCHMAKER.

Kaye Ballard in THE GOLDEN APPLE and CARNIVAL.

Gwen Verdon in REDHEAD.

I, too, saw Laurie Beechman in JOSEPH, God bless her soul.  She was a beautiful lady, and she died far too young.

I was lucky enough to see Barbara Cook in SHE LOVES ME, and it was one of my most memorable nights in the theater ever. She was just as wonderful as Magnolia in SHOW BOAT at Lincoln Center. Those are the only two times I've ever seen her live, but they rank among my most vivid show memories.

Finally got around this afternoon to watching FATHER OF THE PRIDE from Tuesday night. It was the program's funniest show. That's not to say it was wall-to-wall funny; it's not, but Danny DeVito was the guest voice last night of a lobster, and he was hysterical. Plus, the Siegfred and Roy characters were as off-the-wall campy as always having run-ins with everyone from Dick Chaney to Streisand and Brolin.

I just missed seeing Barbara Cook in She Loves Me (I had tickets, but the show closed unexpectedly). I did see her in Show Boat, but remember that production mostly for Constance Towers - so dramatic and heartbreaking as Julie.

Hmmmmmmmm....

I saw Judy in Cincinatti in 1966 or 1967....not in good voice but still wonderful to have seen her.

Saw Jack Benny in his show at Starlight Musicals....very funny, a bit "blue" - but still wonderful to remember.  He had the audience in the palm of his hand.  No matter what else was going on, his reaction to it was what we wanted to see...and what was the funniest thing of all.  At one  point he went into the orchestra to check to see if they had tickets and pulled out a punch and put holes in them....LOL.

There are so many things I would like to have seen, but I choose only one:

Anne Bancroft & Patty Duke in "THE MIRACLE WORKER"

So many classic plays and musicals I would like to have seen, and my top choice would probably be different today from what it would have been last week or what it's going to be next week.

But at this moment, I think I'd say LADY IN THE DARK with Gertrude Lawrence and Danny Kaye.

Finally gave in to whatever it was that was bothering me and slept for two glorious hours. Best sleep I've had in weeks. Feel much better.

Most of what I'd like to have seen has been mentioned. But how about seeing the Divine Ms M at the Baths? Wouldn't that have been fun?

Great pics. It's funny - each day a different song from the show floats into my head and plays all day in the bg (that's BACKGROUND, DRJay!). Today it's been Paul H singing "Millions of Men." Yesterday it was Susanne's version of "A Slight Neurotic"...
