As it happens, Shenandoah was my first professional show (as a spectator). I was 10 years old and saw a summer stock tour starring John Raitt at the Ogunquit Playhouse in 1976.
Raitt sang magnificently (listen to the link below) and it certainly captivated my ten year old soul. The fact that there were two children in it made it more accessible and the "Next to Lovin' I Like Fighting'" number with the Anderson sons roughhousing was incredibly sexy for a nascent homosexual!
I saw Cullum in the 1990 revival, which was a Canadian production that had headlined Hal Linden in Toronto but he opted not to go to Broadway with the entirely Canadian cast (including a young Tom Cavanagh from TV's Ed). It was serviceable. Played at the (then-) Virginia. |
