4, I saw Cats, and had to leave the theatre when one of them touched me. I went a second time when I was 5 and actually made it through the show that time (why is it that all foreign relatives wanted to see Cats, I ended up seeing it around 4 times)
I think I was...8 or 9 when I saw it with my grandmother...Me, being obnoxious, decided to go hang out with some kids at the stage door who were in the show.... Of course, I wasn't one of them, and when they all had to go inside to get ready it KILLED me........... like, literally. The most desperate feeling of wanting to follow them EVER.
I was 25, and it was the Aida tour about three years ago.
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be enbered with your old nonsense. ~ Emerson
Back, he spurred like a madman, shrieking a curse to the sky. With the white road smoking behind him and his rapier brandished high! Blood-red were the spurs i' the golden noon; wine-red was his velvet coat, when they shot him down on the highway, down like a dog on the highway, and he lay in his blood on the highway, with the bunch of lace at his throat...

1977. I was in 7th grade and my father took me to see Lynn Redgrave in Saint Joan by G.B. Shaw. Then I went back stage to her dressing room. She had on a white robe and she was taking off her make-up. I remember her being very kind to me as I was a little taken back by meeting her.
I was nine when I saw MY FAIR LADY, with Julie Andrews and Alec Clunes, in the West End; but I was 11, when I saw THE MIRACLE WORKER, on Broadway, with Suzanne Pleshette and Patty Duke.
Let's put it this way, "Starlight Express" on broadway at the Gershwin Theatre was into kiddy diddy. I was 4 years old when I lost my Broadway Virginity to a skating robot :)
