If you could go back in time to see any Broadway hits long past (2000 is the cut-off), what three would you see?
Me:
1. Florodora, 1901 (maybe I'd encounter Harry Thaw and Stanford White gawking at Evelyn Nesbit from the front row?) 2. Rent, 1996 3. Wizard of Oz, 1903ish (Broadway musical from the turn of the century; different from the Garland version)

Did you ever see something and say, "I just have to have it"?
Sometimes a dream appears unattainable...but for anyone who's on the downside of advantage, and relying purely on courage, it's possible.
Violet Debbie Does Dallas Zanna Don't Ragtime OBC Rent OBC (as much as I hate it now) Hair (original production, not the inconcert - although that would've kicked ass too) Angels In America (both Millenium Approaches and Perestroika) West Side Story Pippin
there are so many more. but I'll stop the list there.
and I know a few of those aren't Broadway but who cares - I'm mad at myself for not discovering them sooner and getting to see them! lol
If I show you the darkness I hold inside, will you bring me to light?
Didn't we do this time machine before. Okay Sherman set the way back machine. Here are a few
Gypsy (Merman) My Fair Lady (OC) Pajama Game (The night Shirley became a star) Music Man Anyone Can Whistle Hair (OC) Company (OC) A Chorus Line Dreamgirls Rent
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
