You already know that on the rare occasion I write musicals-based fic I don't really think of a specific performer, but other than that...YES. This is an excellent summation of why I love live theatre, and will always privilege it above film/TV (heck, even studio CDs).
One of the many many reasons I adore Pia Douwes as much as I do is that you can see her play the same role, in the same production, with the same cast three nights in a row and it's not the same performance. She's certainly not the only person this is true of, but she's the one I have experienced it with most often, largely due to the fact that I've been lucky enough to see her in more shows than I usually do. You can't get that in a fixed medium, by definition.
