The first I ever saw & heard was the original cast of A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC (!!!!!!!)...then was lucky to see the original cast of SWEENEY TODD...but first fell 2000 leagues deeply in love with this genius a few years later when my high school music teacher played Sarah in a faculty production of COMPANY & I played the OBC album over & over & over again...& the touchstone/most eloquent soundtrack to my life was laid in place forever.
