Posted: 9/20/05 at 2:14amIf rmposey was 8, then I guess I was about 3 at the time. The night my mother purchased the cast recording of Phantom of the Opera is actually one of my earliest memories (who'da thunk?). Of course, my mother says she was watching the Cary Grant Cole Porter biography while in labor with me, so I guess the Broadway love actually began in the womb.

Posted: 9/20/05 at 6:15pmWhen I was 6, I saw Beauty and the Beast and loved it. When I was 10, I saw Kiss Me, Kate with Brian and Marin , and that's when the obsession began...

Posted: 9/20/05 at 7:17pmWell, the first stage show I saw was Les Mis in London when I was 17 (years ago!) and was instantly hooked. To this day it's my favorite musical. But I've always loved The Sound of Music and Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and have been watching those on TV since I was four.

Posted: 9/27/05 at 10:52pmI was ten and my favorite aunt took me to NYC see Beauty and the Beast a few months after it opened. It was an amazing expierence and I will never forget it!!! I have been hooked on the show ever since and Beauty is one of the reasons I want to work in the theatre.
