what a fun thread!!

Broadway: Grease in 1995 starring Brooke Shields as Rizzo (I remember not loving the show, and then being completely mesmerized the next evening at Beauty and the Beast!! )

Tour: Tommy in 1994, blew me away and it started my life long love of musical theater:)

My first Broadway show was part of my first trip to NYC. Watched a show called "Moonchildren" at what was then named the Royale Theatre. Free tickets from the concierge at our hotel who told us the show was closing after only a month. At the theatre, we noticed a sandwich board display plugging the next show coming in. My girlfriend turned to me and said, "Grease.....what a wierd name for a show!"
