The first time I saw Michael Crawford in Phantom of the Opera in Los Angeles. His walk was captivating!

I saw this at the Theatre of the Stars in Atlanta, in the early seventies. I felt as if I were watching the man himself. Jack was the quintessential Don Quixote.

Part of me still believes that Doug Henning's levitation in The Magic Show was real. I was among the audience members who were honored to see that show.

Watching Rex Smith perform as the Baron in Grand Hotel was particularly interesting and frightening because I knew I was going to be taking his place in less than a month.

Happening into The Drowsy Chaperone one afternoon with my son and not having any idea what it was going to be about. Absolutely delightful!

Watching Topol in Fiddler on the Roof some 40 years ago after he did the film was astonishing. What a voice!
