Okay - I'm bored and I can't leave the office yet. I'm just sitting here wishing I could time travel back to see great theatre. Here's my Top 10 list. What would you see if you could go back? I bet there's at least one of you who saw some of these.
1. Mack & Mabel - 1974 w/ Bernadette & Robert & Preston
2. Camelot - 1960 w/ Richard Burton & Julie Andrews
3. South Pacific - 1949 w/ Mary Martin
4. Mame - 1966 w/ Angela Lansbury
5. Company - 1970
6. Sweeney Todd - 1979 w/ Angela Lansbury & Len Cariou
7. Into the Woods - 1987
8. Follies - 1971
9. Oklahoma - 1943
10. A Little Night Music - 1973
* these are just the top 10 shows - my list of stars I would like to travel back to see is just too long *

Well, you're not asking us to limit it to musicals or Broadway, so here I go:
1. opening night of Oklahoma!
2. Hamlet in the early 1600s
3. opening of The Diary of Anne Frank in Germany
4. opening night of Show Boat
5. Anne Bancroft in The Miracle Worker
6. Vivien Leigh in The Skin of Our Teeth
7. opening night of Carrie
8. Ethel Merman in Anything Goes
9. Barbra Streisand in Funny Girl (but not late in the run)
10. On the Town revival with Bernadette, Donna McKechnie, and Phyllis Newman. A damn shame this was not recorded in any way.
