What was your first and last show?

Posted: 6/24/03 at 10:15pm

Ok.. since we can't have open ended polls, I thought I would start one on the message board. What was the very first BROADWAY musical you saw and what was the last show you saw.

For me:

First show: Pippin
Last show: Hairspray

I think it was the revival of "Man of La Mancha" in the 70's or Frank Langella's "Dracula" I can't remember which was first. But my last show was "Dance of the Vampires"....

The first musical I ever saw was Godspell, I think (it was so long ago!:) ). The last musical I saw on Broadway was Phantom of the Opera for the sixth time. The absolute last musical I saw was Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, just this past weekend in London.
