I first fell in love with the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical the year it opened on Broadway when my English teacher played the original cast recording for my class one spring day.
I finally saw it live on Broadway for the first time in April of 2005...with Hugh Panaro, Marie Danvers, and John Cudia.
To date, I've seen it about twenty times now...fifteen with Hugh (who has become a good friend along the way), once with Stephen Buntrock understudying, once on the tour with Gary Mauer, and a couple of times with Howard McGillin...including the January 9, 2006 gala performance when the show became the longest-running musical on Broadway.
Needless to say, I look forward to seeing it again.
