Mine's Wicked...but I've still only seen Wicked, though twice (I'm fro WI so there's not too much by way of Broadway shows there); I'm planning to see Rent next month.

First show I saw on Broadway was Chicago
First show I saw ever was Mamma Mia

"You have two kinds of shows on Broadway – revivals and the same kind of musicals over and over again, all spectacles. You get your tickets for The Lion King a year in advance, and essentially a family... pass on to their children the idea that that's what the theater is – a spectacular musical you see once a year, a stage version of a movie. It has nothing to do with theater at all. It has to do with seeing what is familiar.... I don't think the theatre will die per se, but it's never going to be what it was.... It's a tourist attraction." Stephen Sondheim
