What was the first show you ever saw? — Page 2

I don't remember what show i first saw. my mom was really great and took me to see everything we could see in the sticks. But i grew up with fabulous barbra....i use to sing funny girl nonstop until i saw hello dolly...to this day....i still will never pass up a barbra movie....anyways i digress....my first broadway play was last year...rent, then aida for adam, and then christams carol in msg...that was all in a 36 hr time period...it was heaven!!!and i am going back this christmas to see adam again in cabaret...
but the show that made me love theatre as i do and that made me want to do theatre (background mind you) was Ragtime...i saw it 1998 i believe in toronto! i just listened to it a couple days ago and it still makes my heart pound!!!!

My mother took me to "Fiddler on The Roof". My father's cousin was in the production, and we got to go backstage after the show. I wish I remembered the experience better. Haven't ever been backstage again.

"They're Playing Our Song"
Front row Orchestra, Imperial Theatre.
Donna Murphy was in the ensemble as one of the "egos."
The next night I saw the first preview of the revival of "West Side Story" with Debbie Allen as Anita at the Minskoff.

Hi,
my 1st musical is 'Joseph and ......Dreamcoat' when it toured to HK with Linzi Hateley and Darren Day/David Dixon. I saw Darren Day as Joseph. I have nver been to Broadway, but I POTO, Les Mis, CHICAGO (twice), Millie and Lion King in London. I saw all of them within a yr! I LOVE musicals and hope I could see Hairspray, Millie with Sutton Foster, Nine, CHICAGO on Broadway....
FELIX
My CHICAGO the musical group!

My first show was "Beauty and the Beast" on Broadway

You want old? My first was Angela Lansbury in "Gypsy" on the pre-Broadway tour. How damn lucky was that? I really started off at the top. I'm still not sure I've seen her equal. Yes, I accepted Angela Lansbury as my Personal Savior in the eighth row of the Civic Center Music Hall in Oklahoma City on June 5, 1974. Or was it 1975. Whatever.

My first Broadway, one hundred and fifty years later, was less glorious -- "Anything Goes" with the post-Lupone Leslie Uggams.
