I reckon a fair few million people share that one. But at least there’s plenty of Queen concerts captured on film - quite a few of them on YouTube.

Not so much a show (actually, yes, it was probably a helluva show!), but I wish I'd seen Queen with Freddie Mercury. I saw Queen in Sydney in 1985 - it was part of The Works tour. Freddy was absolutely captivating and it's a cherished memory of mine. I wish I'd seen the original production of The Pillowman with David Tennant at the NT. But I allowed myself to be co-erced by my travelling companion into see Me & My Girl.  (We only had the one night free in London that trip.) |

In regards to the post above, in tonight's performance of The Lady in the van, due to the indisposition of mr Nicholas Farrell, the part of Alan Bennett will be played by Alan Bennett. But I would have loved to have seen Twiggy and tommy Tune in my One and Only, or Julie Andrews in Victor/Victoria or as Polly in The Boyfriend. Like others I'm old enough and lucky enough to have caught all the original casts from Camelot on. I saw Julie in Victor/Victoria a short time before she left the show for her throat surgery - it was a great performance but it was clear that her voice was in trouble. Was still a treat to see her live. At least we still have the original film version. |

A lot of early 90s RSC shows. Especially The Venetian Twins and Murder in the Cathedral. But most of all the Russell Beale Ghosts

Cabaret, at the Donmar starring Alan Cumming and Jane Horrocks. They production sort of defined modern approaches to this show. I saw the later Broadway revival/reworking of it, also starring Alan Cumming, but to have seen that chilling ending in that tiny space...
There is also a very grainy, oddly edited ITV recording of it however.

would have loved to see Anton Zetterholms last TArzan Show in Hamburg 2010 - and be at the Stagedoor for it
because have you ever seen an actor do Stagedoor-diving ? the videos looked amazing!

So many things, but anything Julie Andrews was in! And of course I'd love to have seen Judy Garland in concert

The original Broadway cast of Agnes Of God or really anything with Geraldine Page. Or Colleen Dewhurst in their prime
Recently realised looking at an old Playbill that during my first trip to NYC Tyne Daly was back in Gypsy to finish the run I think. Cried on the floor for a while about that. Gypsy is one of my favourites and I love Tyne Daly, how how how did I miss that?

I was fully intending to see my beloved Petula Clark in "Someone like you" but I blinked and missed it.

Oh wow, so many!
Wicked OBC
Into The Woods OBC
Hamilton OBC
Spring Awakening before it closed and won all the Oliviers that year, Ben Platt as Evan Hansen, Julie Andrews in My Fair Lady and the recent production of Heathers at The Other Palace/Haymarket (I'm aware there are rumours of it coming back at some point but I really wish I'd seen that cast!)

There are a few on the list but my biggest regret back in my teens was not seeing the original “La Cage Aux Folles” at the London Palladium in 1986. George Hearn and that incredible old style broadway staging !!! Singing in the rain in London. Walked out at the interval. Zzzzzzz |
