My first Broadway show was 'The Rocky Horror Show Live on Broadway.' I believe it was in 2000 or 2001 ish. It is still my favorite Broadway experience, as well as the most fun I've ever had at a show. I saw it three times and wish I could have seen it 20 times more.

Beauty and the Beast - August, 1996 - Palace Theatre
Starring Kerry Butler, Jeff McCarthy, Marc Kudisch, Peter Bartlett, Beth Fowler, and Andrew Keenan-Bolger as Chip. The current Beast, Steve Blanchard, was the standby for that role.
I remember the stage door experience vividly.

How to properly use its/it's:
Its is the possessive. It's is the contraction for it is...

Mine was RENT.
I've seen it three times now, and each time still feels like the first.
