Posted: 9/1/05 at 11:27amMy first show was the Broadway revival of '42nd Street', which didn't really get me into the theater thang (spelled that way purposely). I saw it when I was 12.

Posted: 9/1/05 at 12:10pmLes Miserables when i was 4 in 1995.
Back, he spurred like a madman, shrieking a curse to the sky. With the white road smoking behind him and his rapier brandished high! Blood-red were the spurs i' the golden noon; wine-red was his velvet coat, when they shot him down on the highway, down like a dog on the highway, and he lay in his blood on the highway, with the bunch of lace at his throat...

Evita 2nd bway cast
First Professional tour - Pippin w/ Michael Rupert
I believe that Faith Prince had taken over the role of Anna in the King and I revival by Nov. '97.
The three Anna's during that run were
Donna Murphy - Tony award
Faith Prince
Marie Osmond
