Your Strongest Memories of Your First Broadway Show — Page 3

The very first Broadway show that I ever saw was the revival of 42nd Street. I went up to the city on a trip with my dance studio. I sat in the very back row of the theater and was completley awe-struck from the moment the overture began. I dont think that I blinked the whole time :)

A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC, on a summer night, Tuesday, June 1974, at the Majestic from the front row of the Mezzanine.
Glynis Johns, Hermione Gingold, Mark Lambert, Victoria Mallory, William Daniels, D. Jamin-Bartlett, Laurence Guittard, Patricia Elliott. Sublime.

It had moved to the Majestic by June, 1974.

My first show was The Boy from Oz. I remember making sure to get a Playbill the curtain rising and Hugh coming onstage and playing the piano and just him there in person, when he would interact with the auidence, and just the whole big musical experience- the lights, the sets, and how the voices and the music filled that large theatre. Then when the show was over I told my mom we should try the stagedoor and see if Hugh comes out, she said no and my mom now realizes that was a big misatke :)
