I was eleven and my parents got me tickets for THAT CHAMPIONSHIP SEASON. I took the bus from New Jersey to New York and saw the show alone. I don't think my parents were aware that the last line of the play was, "Say cunnilingus, coach."

Cats in 1987. I cried when they came out..I am still haunted to this day.
16, I went to see Movin' Out...
It's actually pretty funny-prior to seeing Movin' Out I had a discussion about Broadway "virginity", and actually considered skipping my first ever trip to New York so that I could save my first time for a show I was more excited about... (I'm famous for my anti-Jukebox Musicals stance at my school, and it was just so IRONIC that it would be my first show...)
Mine was really rescent though I always loved musicals. I was 14 and my mom took me to see Little Women for my 15th birthday.

If in Heaven you don't excel, you can always party down in hell...
6. My Fair Lady with Richard Chamberlain and Melissa Errico. All I remember was that it wasn't as much of a spectacle as the movie, and how impressed I was that Melissa Errico was only 23.
I was six when Julie Andrews gently lifted it away at the world premiere of Camelot (my first time in a dark suit). Oh, Richard, Robert and Roddy were there too...

I was 14, wow. Now 18 and 64 shows later....
Technically, i've been in love with musical theatre since I was 8 years old, but I didn't lose my virginity till I was 10 years old when I saw RENT. (Yes, a 10 year old at RENT.)
I was 7 years old and I had just gotten out of the hospital from a massive athsma attack.
I saw the revival of the King and I. I remember thinking "I could totally be one of those kids" and have had the theater bug ever since.
4 1/2 seeing Once Upon a Matress

1996 - RENT BABY!!!
I should elaborate, I was 16 Years Old; 1996 I saw the OBC of RENT and that started it all. I went from Hardcore Rap Music to listening to Light in the Piazza...hahaha! What a change. Since then!
I saw my first professional show much earlier, but I was 22 when I saw my first show on Broadway- Man of La Mancha (revival). It was the first time I ever got to spend more than a few hours in NY. During that trip, I saw 4 shows.
