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!

Did you ever see something and say, "I just have to have it"?
Sometimes a dream appears unattainable...but for anyone who's on the downside of advantage, and relying purely on courage, it's possible.

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.
But we didn't have any coffee filters...so I used all we had which was...toilet paper...and we didn't have any coffee grinds so I used..peanut butter..and I found that...all you get is scalding hot peanut...water... <---Why should you always memorize your monologues? Oh yes...there was that one Chorus Line audition...

Posted: 4/3/05 at 6:31pmFirst musical I saw was "Hello Dolly" and then the first musicals to emotionally impact me were Cabaret, The Producers, and Rent.
And the other thing about the Phantom Lady was, Bert, she realized, in the city that never sleeps...
What did she realize, Kitten?
That all the songs she'd listened to, all the love songs, that they were only songs.
What's wrong with that?
Nothing, if you don't believe in them. But she did, you see. She believed in enchanted evenings, and she believed that a small cloud passed overhead and cried down on a flower bed, and she even believed there was breakfast to be had...
Where?
On Pluto. The mysterious, icy wastes of Pluto.
