Broadway virginity... 14. Wicked. Last Christmas. West end virginty, oh, I don't know, 2? Less? And the amazing thing was I sat still, and watched. Not winging like those really annoying babies who always seem to sit about a row or two directly behind you.
The rain we knew is a thing of the past -
deep-delving, dark, deliberate you would say
browsing on spire and bogland; but today
our sky-blue slates are steaming in the sun,
our yachts tinkling and dancing in the bay
like racehorses. We contemplate at last
shining windows, a future forbidden to no one.

The one I was at at the age of 2 was actually Cats as well I think, though Les Mis was probably soon after. I was a very weird toddler, because I actually loved Les Mis, even then. Though I had no idea at the time what was going on.

5 and it was a LONG time ago -- though sometime after "Our American Cousin." I still remember it quite well and apparently I not only sat still and never fidgeted, I was so riveted I barely blinked.

I'm pretty sure it was Beauty and the Beast when I was 3. However, I wasn't as well behaved as the rest of you folks. My sister and I were crying so we left at intermission.
