Cats. My dad took me to see it down the west end in London when I was 9 or 10

Mary Poppins. [edit]============================================================ Maybe I misunderstood the question. The first musical I saw live was "Beauty and the Beast.

CATS. Kill myself. I was really young and it was a camp trip and we went to see it. I was scared and cried the entire time because they crawl into the seats and it made me extremely nervous. Thank God I have seen so many other plays after that so that my whole Broadway experience wasn't ruined.

Phantom of the Opera. I saw it a total of 3 or 4 times during its run in San Francisco. Since then, I've seen Rent and Chicago on Broadway in New York. Those were awesome too.

Camelot. It's true! It's true! The crown has made it clear. The climate must be perfect all the year. A law was made a distant moon ago here: July and August cannot be too hot. And there's a legal limit to the snow here In Camelot.... I also seen Cats in London.
