mine was seeing Beauty and the Beast with my mom at the Bushnell when I was 14. I'd seen plays before that, but nothing on Broadway.
My first show actually ON Broadway, in NYC was Cabaret on October 25th 2003.

Posted: 5/31/05 at 10:11pmI had a very, erm, memorable first broadway experience. When I was either 5 or 6 my grandma took me to cats. However, I'd just gotten over the flu, my parents thought I was better and let me go. I made it through the first act, however I felt sick during intermission and ran to the bathroom, where I threw up. At least i made it. I obviously left, my parents like to joke that i had good taste in theater at a young age. my second bway experience wasnty much better, i saw beauty and the beast and was terrified of the beast and spent the whole show with my head hidden.

Mine was my best friend's birthday- age 6- and we loaded up the Volkswagon Van with six little girls and trooped into NYC to see "The Sound of Music"!! Yes, that's right-the original! I still remember every minute of that day- and now I feel really OLD!!

If memory serves me correctly... my first national tour was "The Sound of Music" with Marie Osmond. I was young...
My first actual show on Broadway was "Annie Get Your Gun" at the Marquis Theater with Crystal Bernard and Tom Wopat on August 14, 2001. My parents TKTS'd it; it wasn't my first choice, but a memorable first Broadway experience none the less.
