Mimi Lieber:
"The first show I saw ON Broadway was Grease. I'd arrived in NY from L.A. 2 days before and had an audition for it the next day. I loved that show for its irreverence and goofiness. A year later I was in L.A., ironically, shooting the movie."
Wendy Stetson:
"1st show I ever saw was A Chorus Line. I came into NY on a schoolbus with Mr. Fennell's 11th grade English class. We saw a matinee performance, ate lunch at Sbarro and drove back home that evening. Six hours in a bus for an afternoon of magic."
