| Mine was the original production of A CHORUS LINE in 1989, a few months before it closed. The closing had been announced and we got tickets at TKTS for way up in the balcony. Then they did one final extension, so it ran a bit longer than we all thought it would that day. The first actual big equity show I saw was the national tour of the 1980's revival of ARSENIC AND OLD LACE starring Jean Stapleton and Marion Ross, along with Gary Sandy, Larry Storch, and Jonathan Frid. I had seen the commercial on TV and asked my Dad to take me into Philadelphia (we lived in the western suburbs) to see it at the Forrest Theatre. We got tickets up the balcony because I probably had to pay for my own ticket out of my allowance and I think my Dad and I were almost alone up there. It was SO exciting! I cannot even tell you. The whole experience was a joy...going into the city, seeing that beautiful theatre for the first time, seeing a terrific production of a terrific play with two leading ladies that I knew from TV. It didn't matter than we were so high up or that we were surrounded by empty seats. For a 14 year old kid, the whole thing was magical. |
