What? No 'Phantom Of The Paradise'? ;)

[ericcoleman]

I wondered that myself, but I didnt make the list

[barondave.livejournal.com]

I assume you're talking about a live production, not a movie.

Of these, I've seen 1776, Godspell (unless it was JC Superstar, I get them mixed up), How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying, Cabaret (on Broadway), Little Shop of Horrors, The Fantastiks, South Pacific (in Denmark, in Danish), Fiddler on the Roof (on Broadway and a HS production), Man of La Mancha, Seussical (at least the hour long version at the Minnesota Fringe Festival) and I have a vague memory of seeing Peter Pan and You're A Good Man Charlie Brown as a kid. I've seen several Gilbert and Sullivan productions, but don't remember if Pirates of Penzance was one of them (though I think so).

And I keep missing out on opportunities to see various local productions of Rocky Horror and missed a chance to see Cats on Broadway. Go fig.

I doubt their list is even remotely complete, and I'm sure I've forgotten some I've seen.

I suspect the list includes stuff that appeared on stage. POTP was just a film, right? (Though doing a stage production would have been a '90s sort of thing to do, wouldn't it?)

High Society: X but only in the original version, I was watching the Philadelphia Story last weekend

amusing - we actually watched Philadelphia Story last week, and i found my video with High Society on it just before we went to MI this weekend....

I want to hear the Little Shop Horror story *grin*

[ericcoleman]

I love the Philadelphia Story, one of my all time favorite movies, and probably my favorite Hepburn performance (out of a lot of favorites) and far and away my favorite Stewart performance (playing way against his usual type, I love cynicism)

I may write up the Little Shop story as a special christmas story, since it happened on christmas a couple decades ago
