My first was Company at the theatre then still known as the Alvin, Wednesday matinee in July 1970. Original cast except for Kert having replaced Jones.
My favorite three experiences:
Follies at the Winter Garden.
Sweeney Todd with Cariou and Lansbury, most of all at the amazing, shattering last performance with the two of them, when Cariou completely broke down during the final "Barber and His Wife."
Sunday in the Park With George the one time I saw it with my favorite George-Dot/Marie pair: Harry Groener and Maryann Plunkett.
Very honorable mention:
Merrily We Roll Along the two-and-a-half times I saw it closing week (after having seen it four-and-a-half times earlier in the run).
So many other great experiences. |
