I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

Well, my parents were both in theatre, so I started going at a very young age.
First show (at least that I remember): Blythe Spirit, with my mom as Ruth. I was 5 years old.
First Broadway tour: "1776" in 1970 or '71 (?). It starred Rex Everhart, George Hearn, Barbara Lang, Pamela Hall, Walter Charles, etc. I was 7 or 8 years old.
But I didn't get around to seeing an actual Broadway show until the '83 Tony-winning revival of "On Your Toes" with Natalia Makarova, Dina Merrill, George S. Irving, Lara Teeter, George de la Pena and Christine Andreas. I remember I cried when the overture started. No joke. Hah! (What a big baby, right???)
And the following night I saw the OBC of "Cats." I actually went on a "theatre bender" that entire trip, and also saw Torch Song Trilogy, Dreamgirls, Agnes of God, Forbidden Broadway, Nine and 42nd Street.
Pure heaven.

First show I saw on Broadway was A Chorus Line... I was around 15, I think, so, that was around '84.
I'm not sure what my first show ever was, but, the first I really remember was the King and I tour in the early 80s with Yul Brynner. And a dinner theater production of Fiddler that scared the crap out of me.
