I haven't seen Beauty and the Beast or The Lion King. Although I have nothing against BATB, I refused to see The Lion King because of my whole Ragtime-was-snubbed mentality. Although I put that behind me several years ago, I still just haven't got around to seeing the show. I have seen pretty much everything else.

Wicked Spamalot Ave. Q Rent Jersey Boys The Color Purple
I saw Lion King, but it was so long ago I only very vaguely remember it.
Edit: I do have little to no desire to see Rent (disliked movie), JB (dislike falsetto singing), and TCP (disliked book). Updated On: 8/17/06 at 01:37 PM
I shorter list would be the popular musicals I have seen.
Wicked Rent The Lion King Beauty and the Beast
That's pretty much it.

ATTENTION FANS: I will be played by James Barbour in the upcoming musical, "BroadwayWorld: The Musical."
Even with seeing four or five broadway shows a year since 1987 - and then MOVING here later in my life, I never saw "Cats" (my mother saw it and decided it would be a waste of my time)
I've also never seen Lion King.
Now what would you say if today I started over?

"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert
Thr three best musical winners: Avenue Q, Spamalot, and Jersey Boys.

I think that covers it. I will see Piazza and Spelling Bee this year though.
If Percy Blakeney were in Les Mis....
Percy: Sink me! If it isn't Javvurt!
Javert: Zsah-vair, it's pronounced Zsah-vair.
Pecry: But it's spelled J-A-V-E-R-T Javvurt.
Javert: Repeat after me Zsah...Zsah....
Percy: Oh! Zsa-Zsa! Like the Gabor sister! Well I personally have always prefered Eva.
Javert: (Looks for gun)
Everything on in New York that isn't on in london except Wicked. That's pretty much all of the above, AvQ, JB, ACL, DRS, Drowsy..., the lot.
I've also never seen the Producers, I'm not sure if I've seen Phantom but if I have I was about 4, and I've also never seen Rent, and a few other things. Not much I haven't seen in London really, though.
The rain we knew is a thing of the past -
deep-delving, dark, deliberate you would say
browsing on spire and bogland; but today
our sky-blue slates are steaming in the sun,
our yachts tinkling and dancing in the bay
like racehorses. We contemplate at last
shining windows, a future forbidden to no one.
Derek Mahon
"Maybe all one can do is hope to end up with the right regrets."
I havent's seen Drowsy..but I think I'm going in December. I haven't seen RENT but I am on the 23rd. And I really don't want to see THe Lion King at all

I'll be seeing The Color Purple, The Drowsy Chaperone and Jersey Boys in November.
Unfortunately I'll miss History Boys which will close before I get there.
I've not seen, and have little interest in seeing, Beauty and the Beast, Wedding Singer and Tarzan.
