Touring company of Sweeney Todd in San Francisco with Angela Lansbury.
The first broadway musical I saw was the national company of "Annie Get your Gun" with Mary Martin.
The first Show I saw on Broadway was " the original "Gypsy" with
Ethel Merman
Rent, when it was in Los Angeles, but no broadway show yet......I'd want it to see Spring Awakening
The one that I can actually remember is Spamalot (recently =).

But if we count television-- CATS on PBS! I HATED musicals when I was younger (not at all the case now, obviously), but that one seemed different. I was five or something, and I went around the house leaping and crawling and singing. I loved it.
Beauty and the Beast.

Best.
First.
Show.
Ever.
agreed
The first show I ever saw was "The Desert Song" in London back when I was 15 and it got me hooked for ever on musical theatre. Probably if I saw that show now it would be so dated I would roll around laughing but at the time it seemed magical - and the score is quite beautiful.

The first show I actually saw on Broadway was the original production of "Sweeney Todd" with Angela Lansbury and Len Cariou.
My first show...hmmmm...absolutely no idea, there were so many shows when I was young...

Broadway, my first show was Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. Pretty hilarious stuff!
I dont really know because i saw a bunch of shows that my mom was doing or that her friends were doing around where i live. but the first broadway show was Color Purple. i loved it even tho i was sitting in the nose bleed section :)
My first show was a touring production of "The Sound of Music" at Oakdale Musical Theatre in Wallingford, CT which was a theatre in the round in what looked like a large circus-like tent. I was only about 9 or 10. The show starred the old movie-musical actress Jane Powell who most of you are probably too young to know of. Next, I saw "Man of La Mancha", the company with David Atkinson and Patricia Marand (Lois Lane of "It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's Superman) at the Shubert Theatre in New Haven. Most of you should have heard of the Shubert. In it's heyday, it was the theatre in which shows such as Oklahoma and My Fair Lady had their world premiers. My first actual show on Broadway was "Pippin" with the original cast.
When I was about 5 or 6 I saw Here's Love, a musical version of Miracle on 34th Street by Meredith Wilson, the same composer who wrote the Music Man. I remember only one song from the show, something about "That man over there is Santa Claus, I know, I know , I know. I can tell by the twinkle in his eyes, I can tell by the wrinkle of his nose" .....or something like that.
I saw it in Detroit at the Fisher, a great memory!
My first Broadway show was the OBC of The Lion King in 1997.
