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
Are we counting tours? If so, here are mine:
First: The King and I
Last: The Producers
Next: Chicago
