Some of my Broadway Memories from an Audience POV




The Gin Game - John Golden Theatre - 1978 - Tandy and Cronyn

A touch of the Poet - Helen Hayes Theatre - 1978 - Robards and Fitzgerald

A Duet for One - Royale Theatre - Dec. 1981 - Bancroft and Von Sydow

You Can't take it with You - Plymouth Theatre - 1983 - Robards

The Ice Man Cometh - Lunt Fontaine Theatre - 1985 - Robards

Les Miserables - Broadway Theatre - 1988

Into the Woods - Martin Beck Theatre - 1988

( In high school I can remember three productions that were outstanding in terms of Broadway Theatre quality works. One was Freshman year at my high school of "Finian's Rainbow".  Don't remember the other performances except Junior year with a West Side Story that did not impress me and I left at intermission. Of the other performances, one at fraternal H.S. Father Judge of "Little Me". And last, the most impressive one of all them, that would rival anything on Broadway, was "The Music Man" performed at the girl's high school attached to Holy Name College up on Torresdale Ave. near the county line. )
