"They're singing, "Happy Birthday"
You just wanna lay down and cry
Not just another birthday, it's 30/90
Why can't you stay 29
Hell, you still feel like you're 22
Turn 30 in 1990
Bang! You're dead, what can you do?"

Not to mention all the wonderful regional productions and even some wonderful community theatre productions. There's just no way to stop the madness! And I'd have it no other way.

Rent - grabbed the cd in new orleans and fell in love
Hair - the first musical I ever heard. My parents had it on vinyl and I would play it on my cousin's strawberry shortcake record player. Then I bought the OBC cd and I finally saw it last month at my university.
Ragtime - saw it on Rosie, fell in love and almost died in the mezzanine of the Orpheum Theatre in Memphis when I saw it in 9th grade
Songs for a New World - heard Audra's "stars and the moon" rendition and bought the original cast cd.
Last Five Years - downloaded a song by mistake when looking for songs from songs for a new world, thought for a year that it was part of it just not on the cd... then came to my senses and sought out the truth. I was highly impressed.

Posted: 12/1/05 at 5:29pmI guess I'm showing my age here, but only a few shows I knew IMMEDIATELY...: A Chorus Line, Sweeney Todd, The Mystery of Edwin Drood and Rent. All for different reasons, but I'll share one... A Chorus Line was the first show I saw where I could relate to every single minute of the show (and I'm not an actor or dancer) and it actually got me to come out to my parents.
