I've thought of this before, and decided I'd just have to go and see pretty much every OBC cast of everything 
, not to mention some casts in between with certain actors.

The ORIGINAL incarnations of...
Les Miserables (Colm Wilkinson)
Sweeney Todd (Len Cariou / Angela Lansbury)
A Little Night Music (Len Cariou / Glynis Johns)
A Funny Thing ... Forum (Zero MosteL)
Rocky Horror (Tim Curry)
Me and My Girl (Robert Lindsay)
...and many, many more!

OBC "Crazy for You" would make my life.
"A Chorus Line"
"Gypsy" with Merman and Angela Lansbury
Joel Grey in "Cabaret" (I think I would die of happiness)
"The Last Five Years"
OBC "Into the Woods"
Honestly though, seeing anything past five-ten years ago would make my life. =]
A most ingenious paradox.

You're not old, Margo Channing and BrodieFosse.
You're just lucky bastards...
I agree about the '40's.
A guy I used to know who danced in the original cast of "Best Foot Forward" let me look through his Playbill collection from back then. He was going to give them to me. He was only going to keep the three Gertrude Lawrence shows programs.
He saw everything. Not only the hits, but flops like "Barefoot Boy with Cheek". I was all but drooling over them.
He ended up giving them to the library of his college. I think that I stopped speaking to him not long after that...

Posted: 12/1/06 at 3:32pmDefinately, I would have liked to have seen Lea Salonga in "Les Miserables," maybe when she was briefly with the tour because that is where she probably worked with Rich Affannato as Marius. I did get to see Rich as Marius and he is one of my favorites in the role.
