If you could have, which play of Dwight's would you have liked to see the most?

For me it's a toss up between "Mima" and "A man's man". Mima because the stage must have been spectacular to see and the plot seemed incredibly surreal- unlike anything that you're likely to see on Broadway now. And A man's man because it was his strongest role on Broadway from all accounts, and his performance must have been incredibly powerful.

I would like to have seen A Man's Man for the simple reason it was obviously the one that seemed to really turn him into a Broadway star and from the reviews he obviously excelled in it. Out of curiousity I wouldn't miind seeing Sitting Pretty to hear him sing or Rita Coventry to hear Dwight on the piano.

Oh yes, I had forgotten all about Sitting pretty! I would have loved to see Dwight sing and dance. I do know that the review of his dancing skills was excellent. His stage work was so diverse and had so much depth. It's difficult to choose just one show.

According to DFLL, he seems to have been the only good thing about that production.

Mrs V.: Thanks to those that left goodbye messages and to Endo who kindly offered to help. After the carry on with facebook last year, I became less and less enthusiastic about this board and was frankly hurt by certain behaviours. Life's too short to deal with BS Jun 25, 2013 20:47:08 GMT

Mrs Vindecco: I no longer have energy or enthusiasm to continue, hopefully members can find another way to celebrate Dwight etc. Jun 25, 2013 21:00:26 GMT

limey: Thanks again Mrs V for all your hard work on this forum. I'm so glad I found you guys and to know that Dwight is loved and remembered by so many is awesome! Take care and yes, please keep in touch.
