It hasn't happened yet, but it will be Book of Mormon, in November.

The first professional show I saw (in Melbourne) was Annie, but the first I attended was Les Mis.

I believe it was the '96 revival of ONCE UPON A MATTRESS, but I was 8 at the time so I don't remember 100% percent. I also saw ANNIE, TITANIC, STEEL PIER, and CANDIDE all around that same time.

Impactful day — to put it mildly.

My first day in New York ever I saw Mame at a matinee and Hello, Dolly that night. It took a week to wipe the smile off my face. That's a lot of "happy"! Oh, the next day I saw Ethel Merman in Annie Get Your Gun.

1776 with my middle school history class. It was a class trip. Must have been 1970 or 71. After that, I was hooked!

You lucky turkey. How was She?

My biggest memory of 'how She was' is of her speaking with us in a private pre-arranged chat after the matinee. After the fireworks display we'd just witnessed, the suddenly tiny, unassuming young woman in glasses who graciously gave us a moment between shows rocked my young mind as to what performers do. In short — magic.
