My first Broadway show was Beauty and the Beast, but being a little on the young side at the time, I didn't appreciate it as much as other shows I've seen. The show that really made me leap into the world of broadway was les mis.

beauty and the beast when i was 6. of course i couldn't truly appreciate it at that age; the first show that really got me hooked on broadway was RENT.
Man am I old OBC A Chorus Line
My first was Cats, my second was Les Mis, and my third was Peter Pan. And that's all I have for now. :/ I need to get to NY.
Grease with Rosie O'Donnel when i was 4
I saw some local production of West Side Story when I was really little, but I can't remember that much of it, so I do not consider it. I would say Phantom of the Opera (touring Company) when I was in High School.
either CATS or radion city xmas show
i saw cats when i was very young and had no idea what was going on, although i am sure that to this day i still wouldnt know what was going on if i saw the show.
show2n- Where did you see Audra play Ayah in Secret Garden? I've never head of her doing that role.

First show I ever saw was Les Miserables when I was 8. My mom was amazed when I looked through the Playbill and saw being being billed as Whores and then told her what a whore was. Anyway, it was a great show. Hard to understand for a little kid (even one who knows what a whore is,) but it was great nonetheless.
The show that got me hooked though, was my third show, Miss Saigon. Oh, how I miss it...
On actual Broadway?
Beauty and the Beast... I loved it!

Center orchestra row Q, seat 112.
Yeah, I'm looking at my ticket. :p
First time in New York as well. My mom and I took a trip just the two of us to see the show before its closing.
Best 3 days of my life.
We ended up seeing Gypsy twice. Once more on the 29th. That time it was balcony... and we were late. Long, HORRIFYING story, and I will not get into that.
