NYT: Taking Young People to Broadway Shows

<p>Hmmm… My first real show memory is this… my 3 sisters and I would choose song titles out of a hat and act out the show tunes along with the record. I was 4. . We ‘performed’ songs from South Pacific, King and I and My Fair Lady. Because of the intervention of the mother of a friend, I was IN La Boheme in second grade. The first show I saw was a travel company in Omaha putting on Sound of Music. My first Broadway show was How to Succeed with Bobby Morse. I too saw Pippen many years later… Ben V. was so good. My kids grew up listening to show tunes, but I think their first show was Bring in da Noise, Bring in da Funk. Kinda odd for a first show for kids, but there ya are. Oh and before B and the B was on Broadway, there was a mini-musical at Disneyworld and they saw that at a VERY young age.</p>
