The Visit with Lunt and Fontanne, probably preferably at the Morosco rather than the Lunt-Fontanne or City Center.
The Glass Menagerie with Laurette Taylor and the rest of the original cast.
The first performance of Candide in Boston.
I am tempted to include two shows that I actually saw — the original production of Follies, which I saw twice, and the last Cariou-Lansbury performance of Sweeney Todd, which I attended but from a not-great seat — but I suppose those would come after the other three since I did see them. Even from a seat in the next-to-last row of the Uris orchestra, the last Cariou-Lansbury Sweeney Todd performance was amazing. I bought my tickets the day after the date of their last performance was announced, but the box office screwed me, insisting those were the best seats they had, which I'm sure was b.s. I remember someone I knew buying a ticket the morning of the performance and getting row N or thereabouts in the orchestra. |
