First Tour: either CHORUS LINE and/or SUPERSTAR, can't remember which came first, same year
First Broadway: 42nd STREET (the original with Tammy Grimes and Jerry Orbach and Lee Roy Reams, I just carbon-dated myself)
First West End: CATS (the only time I've seen it) and/or AGNES OF GOD with Susannah York (again, same trip, can't remember which was "first"). Also the only time I've seen MISS SAIGON was in the West End during its first week ever.
Last Tour: AIDA with Mickey Dolenz (not that bad!) and Paulette Ivory and Jeremy Kushnier
Last Broadway: NINE
Last NYC: BOOBS THE MUSICAL and ZANNA DON'T!
Last West End: Diana Rigg in VIRGINIA WOOLF (amazing, her co-star was David Suchet who was also brilliant) and/or BLOOD BROTHERS
Next: whatever I can get.
Will: They don't give out awards for helping people be gay... unless you count the Tonys.
