Just 2 theatrical regrets: missing THE SEAGULL and BLASTED.
What are yours?

Anything on Broadway with the exception of stuff that came from the West End or has subsequently come to the West End.
I also wish I'd had money and could've seen something of the Peter Hall Company's summer offerings to Bath. ;_;

Posted: 12/29/08 at 4:25pmAt this point, missing BLASTED. And not getting to see Marissa Jaret Winokur in HAIRSPRAY or Jeremy Piven in SPEED-THE-PLOW.

A Tale of Two Cities. I actually really like the concept album, and I like almost all of the leading actors in the real production who weren't on the concept album.
I'm also a little sad that I've never seen "Hairspray" live and now never will. I was holding out for the hope that Michael Ball would transfer to Broadway as Edna someday.

Posted: 12/29/08 at 7:45pmPassing Strange and Les Mis @ Signature. I know Les Mis is still playing, but I really don't think I'll be able to make it down there before it closes, so I'm already regretting not seeing it.

I've gotten to see everythign I wanted to this year.
However, I know I am still not over missing 110 in the Shade with Audra. I also know I probably will not get a change to see South Pacific.
