Hope springs eternal!

You never know when the next brilliant show will come down the pike -- by the way, have you seen Brooklyn, yet?

I first saw a community theatre production of 42nd St. when I was about 8. My aunt was in it. I loved it so much she started taking me to touring shows in Detroit. The first professional production I saw was the CRAZY FOR YOU tour with Karen Ziemba. I was blown away at the ripe old age of 13.

Les Miserables in Center in the Square in Kitchener. It started the obsession that I still have to this day. Hence the name "mizzie".

The first Broadway show I ever saw was actually a play, "The Diary of Anne Frank" it was Off-Broadway, I believe.

The first Broadway musical that I ever saw was "Beauty and the Beast" in '96, I was around 7 ish? Yeah, I am young too lol.
