<p>Growing up in Wisconsin, I did not get to a see a Broadway show until I was in my 20s, and it was A Chorus Line and I went with my 70 year old Aunt, and it was her first broadway show also. We did do the local children’s theatre prpoductions at the university, the one I remember was about 7 princess each named for a day of the week.</p>
<p>My D’s first live theatre was actually a pantomime (in British fashion) South Africe when she was 4. THe when we moved back to the States my mom took her to a tour of Cats for her 6th birthday and she has now been to more theatre than I can count in all sorts of locations. Our one big mistake was not research a show carefully enough and took her to the Chicago production of Ragtime at 7 - she loved it when she was there but had nightmares for days afterwards.</p>
