Hmmm... well I grew up watching all the classic movie musicals, King & I, Sound of Music, West Side Story, etc. I'd watched The Wizard of Oz & Annie a ridiculous amount of times growing up, and they continue to be favorites. Actually, WOZ is my fave movie of all time.
But I didn't see my first Broadway show until I was 15 and that was CATS. Thank God I fell in love with the show and the experience because it brought me back x-amount of times. :)
The first show to really impact me was Jekyll & Hyde, after the whole "I'm gonna be a CAT" phase. haha Then, I was going to be Lucy Harris!

First Musical - The Sound of Music (some local high school production)
First Broadway - Phantom of the Opera (came home wondering why the main song sounded so familiar. My uncle is a huge Pink Floyd fan and realized that it was a Pink Floyd song.)

Posted: 4/3/05 at 3:17pmPhantom of the Opera at the Boulder Dinner Theatre...In '97 or so...I wanted to see it so bad so I didn't tell my parents I was sick (I was like 9) and I vomited on about 5 people in the lobby during intermission...It deeply affected me, I now work there.
