First for me was The Wiz in 1975 a school trip.
It was funny we use to see a lot of shows for school trips that when they would announce we would be going to New York to see a show a lot of the kids would moan. I was the one who was always elated.
And now 36 years later I still have not lost my love and have passed that love on to my two nieces. One who is actually writing a play and the other who is a theatre major. ; )

Into the Woods (1988 I was 8 years a old)
The coolest thing though, since it was shown on PBS and released on DVD, I will always have that memory.
