babe1234, don't know how others feel, but I think seeing an out-of-town tryout of a Broadway production can certainly count as one's first.

Got your gotcha, roseaddams. You're right. To clarify what I was trying to say was something about not counting a regional/local production of some Broadway musical as your first. For me, that would have been a tour of CAROUSEL with John Raitt in 1960!!! oy.

On Your Toes 1983 revival -- starring Natalia Makarova, Lara Teeter, Christine Andreas, George S. Irving, and Dina Merrill. It was in previews, and it was fantastic.
That trip also included the OBC of Cats, Dreamgirls, Agnes of God, 42nd Street, Forbidden Broadway, and Torch Song Trilogy.

Posted: 5/27/11 at 7:21amWest Side Story, 1980. What can I say, I was young and in love with the show. But I wished I'd saved my Broadway virginity for a more worthy production.

Either CATS or VICTOR/VICTORIA, on a junior-high field trip, somewhere in the fall of 1995. I do not remember which came first. There was also a third show on that trip, but I cannot recall what it was, so it may have been neither of those shows.

Christmas weekend 1972. PIPPIN at the Imperial Theatre. I was 7 years old. My fascination with Bob Fosse and his work began that night.

First show I saw on Broadway: Torch Song Trilogy, March 1983 at the Little Theatre (now the Helen Hayes). I was blown away.
First Broadway tour: HAIR, Fall 1971. I had very progressive parents to take a 10-year old to see Hair.

City of Angels-Original Broadway Cast.
What a great show. Went to college with Kay McClelland and was knocked out by her performance. Hope it gets a revival someday.

My very first Broadway show:
Summer 1977---"The Basic Training of Pavlo Hummel", starring Al Pacino.
My father took me as a graduation present (it's all I wanted! I was a major Pacino fan back then.) My parents didn't have a lot of money so for them this was a splurge.
On one hand, it wasn't too cool because my highly conversative father was sitting there red-faced, having a fit at the subject matter and the constant cursing.
On the other hand, I was in absolute HEAVEN and it started my love of live Broadway shows that I've never lost. I was hooked, and as soon as I had enough money I went to see that show again, this time in the front row, with my cousin. We were so close that Al Pacino's spit landed on my cousin's leg and she swore she'd never wash those pants again

Posted: 5/27/11 at 9:48amI was lucky enough to go to one of the best high schools in the country, Regis HS in Manhattan. Instead of typical class trips, we had what were called 'X Days', where kids from all classes could sign up for various cultural trips around the city. As a freshman in 1975, my first X Day was a matinee of A Chorus Line, seeing the original cast.
