Well, anybody here who grew up in NY and loved Broadway and theatre is going to have a big advantage over those of us who grew up in the "styx" (which to most is anything outside of the tri-state area).
I'm impressed I've actually seen as many as that, considering I lived in the city for only two years of my adult life and didn't travel much growing up. But I've also seen a lot of replacements, understudies, many road companies, etc.
Some of these lists are very impressive, though! If only I'd been a city boy, instead of a "country mouse!"
I'm waiting for Tom148502's list. He goes back to Ethel in Gypsy and Mary Martin in Sound of Music!
And of course Margo has seen every single one of the winners from the early '80s on, I'm guessing.

Wow, that's exactly how it was for me.

Posted: 8/26/07 at 12:46pmWELCOME BACK!!!!!!!!!!
Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)

Just Tony-winning performances. Sadly, there were none from Avenue Q. If Ann Harada were nominated, who knows what would have happened. I didn't see all the nominated performances that year so I couldn't say.
