Has anyone put in their birthdate in IBDB to see what shows opened on that date in history? Anybody have any interesting ones?
5/8- A funny thing happened to me on the way to the forum
Basically the only good one for me.

I'm bored so I just checked mine...
Fiddler on the Roof, A Touch of the Poet, On the Town and Sweet Charity are the ones of note.

I remember days
Or at least I try
But as years go by
They're sort of haze
And the bluest ink
Isn't really sky
And at times I think
I would gladly die
For a day of sky

Posted: 1/9/06 at 12:30pmhow do you check it? in the opening night search? (it's probably really simple and I'm just being stupid, but I really can't find it.)

Only one worth noting:
On 9/28/1961, PURLIE VICTORIOUS opened.
I do share a birthday with Gregory Jbara which totally rocks, though.

ah, figured it out now.
well, nothing interesting opened on my birthday (Feb. 23)
but I do share my birthday with Peter Fonda and Robert Lopez (who is the brother-in-law to one of my friends at college) so, that;s cool.
