First Broadway Show You Saw…

[+ GoingGood]

Les Miserables circa 1989.   Great performance but a somewhat depressing way to start seeing Broadway shows.

Annie was also my first show...came to NY to visit older sister and somehow our dad finagled amazing tickets. Dorothy Louden had just won the Tony...and I was the same age as Andrea, but what I remember most clearly about that night is the scenery...the way things flew and two treadmills...and Laurie Beechman standing center stage singing NYC (while the treadmills moved frozen cast members in New York poses behind her.) That voice, and that anthem to the city. I fell in love with both. Was fortunate to see her in Joseph and Cats before her too-early passing.  Saw several musicals after that, but my first Play was Amadeus, after my first year of college, again while visiting sis. And it was amazing to me see Frank-N-Furter on stage. LOL.

"1776" in 1971.  Still one of my favorites.

Beauty and the Beast in 1996 or so.  I was enthralled the entire show.  I saw my first Yankee game a few weeks later… sportsball didn’t stand a chance!
