Oh, sure, let's play a game.

Name a single theatrical production that occurred before you were born that you'd like to time-travel back to see.

(It doesn't have to be the absolute only, but you can name only one.)

For me today: Hart and Kaufman's Once in a Lifetime (1931)

Jean Dixon as May Daniels, Hugh O'Connell as George Lewis, and Grant Mills as Jerry Hyland in Once in a Lifetime
48

I immediately thought of the legendary 1961 production of The Blacks at St. Mark’s: Roscoe Lee Browne, Lou Gossett, Cecily Tyson, Godfrey Cambridge, Arthur French, Maya Angelou. I would crawl through space and time to be there.

A program from the 1961 production of Genet’s The Blacks.
