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.

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

The national company of "Oklahoma!" in Ithaca, NY on April 7, 1949 (the same day that "South Pacific" opened on Broadway).
The first show I saw on Broadway was Irving Berlin's "Miss Liberty" in November of 1949.

Posted: 5/24/06 at 11:07pmOpening night of "CAMELOT" at the O'keefe Center (the World Premiere) in 1960. I was six years old and fell in love with musicals. So my dad said "we'll go see the real thing" and wewent to New York and saw, among others, "Gypsy".

That trip was my first to the United States. Moved here to the US in 2002, living in New York City since 2004.
