Bucket list, part II




Earlier I gave you the list of performers I want to see at least once in my lifetime. Here is my list of shows I want to see, sooner rather than later. (I'm sure I'm overlooking many important works, of course, so this list is a work in progress. Feel free to make suggestions!)


Shows and playwrights I've never seen but really need to:
Amadeus
The Ballad of the Sad Cafe (love Carson McCullers--no idea if this is any good as a play, but I want to see it)
Damn Yankees
The Rocky Horror Show
Thoroughly Modern Millie

Bertolt Brecht
Anton Chekhov done well [I have high hopes for the Lyric Theatre production in Belfast]
Eugene O'Neill (It doesn't count that I've spent a lot of time at his theater.)
August Wilson

NOT on my list:
Cats
Chicago
Les Misérables
The Phantom of the Opera

Andrew Lloyd Webber's entire oeuvre (but I AM going to see Ricky Martin in Evita--SHUT UP. I have a soft spot for Menudo and for that show.)


Shows I've already seen (NYC or regional) but want to see again:
Altar Boyz
American Idiot (but probably only with the original choreography--YAY FOR THE TOUR!)
Assassins
Black Watch (heartbreaking, but I could watch it over and over)
Billy Elliot (though preferably in London with decent accents)
A Chorus Line (my first Broadway show, and still one of my all-time favorites)
Company
Hedwig and the Angry Inch (with John Cameron Mitchell, if possible)
Inherit the Wind
Man of La Mancha
The Music Man
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Sweeney Todd
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

NOT on my list:
Gypsy
Hair
Act II of Sunday in the Park with George

(Click below for a list of people whose work I love and want to see more from.)
