Gypsy - 1998, Paper Mill Playhouse, New Jersey

One of the best reviewed performances of "Rose" ever. Then Betty Buckley -- yes, here's Rose, a revelatory Rose -- makes the character's classic down-the-aisle entrance, and real good times are no longer here to stay. For she will seize your heart, warm it and then break it. From "When a Rose Is a Rose Is a Rose Indeed" By ALVIN KLEIN, New York Times, Published: September 20, 1998

A Little Night Music - 2010, Le Théâtre du Châtelet, Paris, France

Anyone Can Whistle - 1964, Majestic Theatre, Broadway


This is an early Preview Bill. It's an exciting find because the show only had 12 Broadway previews, beginning March 24, 1964. It opened on April 4, 1964, and closed 9 performances later on April 11, 1964.
