My first was the (second?) national tour of Sweeney Todd at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa with June Havoc and Ross Petty in March 1982.
My most cherished was the Donmar Warehouse Company in December 1995 sitting in the front row about five feet from Adrian Lester delivering the most gut-busting performance and being sexy as hell.
Close runners-up include the Donmar Merrily and the Menier Merrily and Assassins.
Oh, and my first Gypsy: the Laurents 1989 revival at the St. James with Linda Lavin.
(The Chichester Sweeney with Staunton and Ball was pretty dope, too.)
I'll stop now :).
Thank you, Stephen. |
