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.

Wasn't Night Music at the Shubert? You're probably right, it might have moved.

It had moved to the Majestic by June, 1974.

I thought so. I do remember reading it played the Shubert, but I thought you were right.

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 :)

My first memorable Broadway show was Miss Saigon in 1991. It was opening night and despite the protest outside, the celebrities in the audience, and the 2 ladies that sneaked in to protest against the show (screamed during one of Lea's solos), I was mesmerized by the pitch perfect voice of Lea Salonga, the amazing special effects, and encaptured by the emotional ending.
