Posted: 8/3/08 at 1:28amI saw Carrie. It was horrible, but also a brilliant failure. There were some things about it that were truly interesting. It needed work on the book as it was a little unclear as to what was happening to anyone who hadn't seen the film. AND, the costumes were horrific, so bad they were distracting, but I'm truly glad I saw it.

I don't know if it counts but for me it would have to be Judy Garland at the Palace.
If not then Gene Kelly in Pal Joey

I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist.
Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino.
This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

Oh lord, uh...
Either 'Journey's End' at the Comedy Theatre here in the UK, or the 2003 Chichester Festival Theatre production of 'The Merchant Of Venice'. Oh, but then, there's a whole array of 'Henry V' it would have been awesome to see too, Branagh at the National, Rylance at the Globe...
Well, there's a shortlist. If you come to me with a time machine and offer to take me back to see one of them, I'll go with whichever I'm most in the mood for at the time. My moods change constantly. :)
Broadway board? I don't know WHAT you mean! ^_^

Posted: 8/3/08 at 6:30am"Christine" with Maureen O'Hara (1960).
You know in a way I owe it all to you. I thought losing you was a blow I could never withstand. Look how far I have come without anyone holding my hand. The day you broke my heart you handed me the chance to make a brand new start. You helped me find my way. There's still so much to learn. So many dreams to earn. But, even if I crash and burn ten times a day. I think I'm here to stay. I'm gonna find my way.

Opening night of Showboat in 1927 would be the most amazing experience.
But then again...just because the storyline sounds SO weird...I would want to see Raggedy Ann opening night. Weird I know...
