Posted: 11/16/04 at 12:01amMy first show on tour was Les Misérables, which is still one of my favorites. My first show actually on Broadway (I like in So. California) was Wicked, the day after my birthday (so I saw almost the entire original cast, aside from Chistery), and it was utterly incredible.

First musical: I think Joseph... but it could have been Grease... I dont' remember what order I saw them in, but they were both around the same time at a very very early time in my life...
First musical in NYC: Guys and Dolls with Nathan Lane :) What a way to start!! Shortly followed by the Christmas show at Radio City.

Posted: 11/16/04 at 1:17pmThe first was Cats when I was 5. We had a friend in the cast and when the cats came out into the audience he touched my face. I was the coolest 5-year-old there! We also got to tour backstage, but tragically I don't remember much of it.

BIG.
And I loved every second of it. Granted, I was seven - I think - but I remember sitting with my mouth open every single second of it.

Posted: 11/16/04 at 2:49pmMy first show was Les Miz. I think in like '96. I was young and didn't fully understand it, but my love of theatre started from that show, which is and forever will be my favorite show!

Posted: 11/16/04 at 6:09pmMy first and only professional show was the tour of LSOH. I've been in pleanty of other shows and have the cast recordings of a lot but sadly have only seen LSOH
Here in this cold white room tied up to these machines, it's hard to imagine life as it used to be. Laughing, screaming, tumbling queen... Like the most amazing light show you've ever seen. Whirling, swirling, never blue... How could you go and die? What a selfish thing to do...

Posted: 11/17/04 at 2:13pmLion King. I saw it with my aunt and uncle right after it opened. I sat on the right side of the orchestra. Amazing experience. I love Julie. She's probably one person I could say I want to work for.
