Posted: 6/22/08 at 4:35pmThe first show I saw on Broadway was some splashy revue with Sandy Duncan in it at Radio City (wish I could remember the name of it). The first actual musical/play was "My One and Only" with Tommy Tune and Twiggy. I did get to see "Evita," "Agnes of God," and "The Fantasticks" during that stay as well. It was my first trip to NYC. :)

Posted: 6/22/08 at 8:22pmMine was Spamalot. We were in NYC for a wedding over my husband's birthday weekend. So, as a gift to him we went to see the show since he's a really big Monty Python fan (I'm really not.) Oddly enough, I loved the show more than he did! :)
