OMGosh, you're lucky and I'm jealou...@ SK:<br /><br />OMGosh, you're lucky and I'm jealous - on both counts. I love Yul Bryner, but I've only seen him in movies. I loved him in the movie "The King and I."<br /><br />You're lucky on the Julie Andrews, too. She won a Tony for that role, and I bet she deserved it. I LOVE the movie version of Victor/Victoria. Garner and Andrews have great chemistry in that. Thought she would make an adorable Eliza from "My Fair Lady," too, which is why I'd love to see it.<br /><br />@ Mimi:<br /><br />Well, if it's anywhere/anytime/any production:<br /><br />- In plays, the premiere Shakespeare's "Titus" at the Globe with Queen Elizabeth in attendance (just to see the look on her face)<br /><br />- In opera, the original productions of: Carmen, Die Fledermaus, Gioachino Rossini's La Cenerentola or Gounod's Faust<br /><br />- In general: One of the lost plays of Sophocles at the theater in Alexandria. And make a night of it: dine on the Mediterranean on some REALLY authentic Egyptian-Greek fusion cuisine. Sleep in and then spend the next day perusing the Great Library. :-)New York Erratichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12910004748099284750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338557.post-48395251048035104802012-03-21T15:56:46.377-04:002012-03-21T15:56:46.377-04:00"Macbeth" with Laurence Olivier."Macbeth" with Laurence Olivier.Ben Varkentinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14860341359362967093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338557.post-55519909860425189482012-03-21T14:58:11.674-04:002012-03-21T14:58:11.674-04:00I am not much of a Broadway Show person, but I'...I am not much of a Broadway Show person, but I'd love to travel back in time and see the premiere of Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring" ballet by Najinsky.Mimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02645484704486562810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338557.post-31433631573990094512012-03-21T12:35:19.773-04:002012-03-21T12:35:19.773-04:00I saw Yul Brenner in one of his last performances ...I saw Yul Brenner in one of his last performances in The King and I.
